76 million get sick a year.
The food that is in trouble is the food
from Industrial sources.
When we have no control over it,
look in the farmers eye, and see
the control you have.
This is about the market share for the dollar.
Who is going to get your buck,
the Big guys or the locals.
No control because of the distance.
The food in crisis is the food coming from far away.
The government steps in,
who is the government making food safe for?
They are making it safe for the producers.
Rules are onerous....giving those with scale
the power to get the buck.
The competitin..is about those who benefit from
the economy of scale.
Can we eat our way to economic security
and personal freedom?????
WHAT ROLE DOES THE GOVERNMENT PLAY
it is a competition to work with the government.
The big guys are frightened by the Farmers' Markets.
It is hurting their margin so they can survive.
Who is winning this war? The big people.
The Food Czar...has the inner...track.

Three laws. Listen to them.
The farther we get from the source of our food,
the less safe it is...
READ THIS FROM THE NATIONAL SUSTAINABILE AGRICULTURE COALITION
http://sustainableagriculture.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Sustainable-Food...
Several of the Task Force’s tenets address the food safety regulations proposed in S.510. The authors challenge the relevance of HACCP management system used in food processing facilities for small farms, where there are few uniform ‘control points,’ rebut consumer groups’ claims that certain raw foods are inherently risky, and underscore the harm that inappropriate, overreaching regulations may impose on family farmers.

NEWS RELEASE
TAKE ACTION NOW TO STOP S.510
CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY!
November 16, 2010
As you have heard from several other sources, the Beast is back. Congress has begun its dreaded Lame Duck session where the discredited Congressional Leadership intends to pass every anti-freedom measure they can while they still hang by their filthy claws on to power.
Among the many disturbing acts of violence Congress plans to inflict upon Americans is the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act (S.510), which is scheduled for a cloture vote on Wednesday. You have already taken steps to oppose S.510 before, but now it is really time to take action and stop this monstrosity from being passed.
In a misguided attempt to “safeguard” our food supply, S.510 grants extraordinary powers to the FDA, which already has a long history of abuse and misuse of its authority over both foods and supplements. This bill would give the FDA the authority to impose extensive, burdensome requirements on small- and medium-sized farms, ranches, and orchards such that many of them would certainly be driven out of business. Far from making our food supply safer, this bill would make it less safe. You must help us stop it!
So please call your Senators today to urge them to oppose S.510!
You can find your two Senators’ contact information at
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
In addition, even if they are not your own Senators, contact the following Senators to complain about their anti-freedom support of S.510: Orrin Hatch (UT), Tom Harkin (IA), Mike Enzi (WY), Lamar Alexander (TN), Judd Gregg (NH), John Isakson (GA), and Richard Burr (NC). These are Senators who should know better, but are supporting this bill in a misguided belief that it will actually accomplish something.

Tell your Senators and these others that:
S.510 fails to address the real cause of the problem: Big Agribusiness and increasing centralization of the food supply. We need to DE-centralize, not increase centralized, Federal control.
They need to at least support the Tester-Hagan amendment, and even broaden its scope, so that small farms, ranches, and orchards will not be disproportionately impacted by burdensome rules and regulations when these food suppliers are not even the cause of any problems in the food supply.
S.510 actually supports foreign food suppliers and helps them compete against our own U.S. companies!
S.510 puts arbitrary power into the hands of the very agency (the FDA) that has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted with such powers.
You will make it your personal mission to tell everyone you know that, if they vote for S.510, these Senators voted to wreck America’s food supply and that they are personally responsible for the food problems this bill will have caused.
You support the efforts of Senator Tom Coburn to mandate spending offsets to pay for the massive increases in the FDA’s $4 billion dollar budget. We need government fiscal restraint, not more increases in deficit spending.
And for all of those who signed our On-Line Petition opposing S.510, our NHF Lobbyist Lee Bechtel is hand-delivering that completed Petition to Senate Offices today.
Please take action right now! Your calls could make the difference!

Where is the FDA’s warning of an immense “food safety” risk via pasteurized milk because of a cattle disease rampant within the industrial dairy industry?
Though failing to ensure that milk, the most basic of foods, is safe or even alert the public to the “food safety” risk which it has itself allowed, the FDA now seeks to be in charge of a powerful, centralized “food safety” agency through S 510, the Food Modernization Act. S 510 would put the FDA in control of all food and farms in the US. The bill includes a requirement that all milk in the US be pasteurized. The existence of Johnes bacterium in pasteurized milk, though, indicates pasteurization provides no protection to the public. However, such a requirement does provide protection to the dairy industry by eliminating its competition, those selling unpasteurized fresh milk (raw milk) straight to customers. Those small farmers would be out of business, and there would be no more access to the real and fresh milk they provide.
