SO WHEN WILL ONE OF THE MOST POTENTIALLY IMPACTFUL
BILLS MODERNIING OUR FOOD SAFETY SYSTEM BE SIGNED????
Once again there is a move to
keep this bill under the radar.
HERE IS A NOTE I FOUND
ON FOOD SAFETY NEWS
President Obama is expected to sign the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act into law today when he returns from a family vacation in Hawaii. The signing will likely be low key. As of publication time, the signing was not on the president's official schedule and White House aides have indicated there will not be a formal bill signing ceremony.

FOOD POLITICS
Food Safety Bill Advocates Expect Funding Fight
BY HELENA BOTTEMILLER | JAN 04, 2011
President Obama is expected to sign a sweeping food safety bill into law today, marking the end of a lengthy legislative drama and turning the focus to whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will get the additional funding needed to implement the bill.
On the heels of a Tea Party-fueled midterm election, House Republicans have pledged to use their new majority to rein in federal spending and decrease the size of the bureaucracy--a tough environment for any government agency seeking greater resources. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA), a fiscal conservative who will chair the subcommittee that oversees FDA's budget, recently raised serious questions about the justification for the new food safety bill's price tag. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the new provisions will cost $1.4 billion over five years.
"I would not identify it as something that will necessarily be zeroed out, but it is quite possible it will be scaled back if it is significant overreach," Kingston told the Washington Post in late December. "We still have a food supply that's 99.99 percent safe. No one wants anybody to get sick, and we should always strive to make sure food is safe. But the case for a $1.4 billion expenditure isn't there."
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg told reporters on a White House media call Monday that she remains "optimistic" that the agency will be able to move forward and implement the bill, but declined to say whether the entire CBO estimate would be critical to carrying out all of the new responsibilities. Those tasks include mandatory recall authority, increased inspection frequencies of high-risk facilities, and enforcing new requirements that growers and food facilities have food safety plans and that foreign facilities importing food to the U.S. must meet the same standards.

THE CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE WASHINGTON ON REAL FOOD SAFETY
These are our aims:
1-To support mobilization of one Farmers’ Market in our local area, the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market in San Diego. To continue to work with local organic farmers and help them sell more of their produce.
2-To continue to develop a 1/3 acre parcel of land near San Diego State College named the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds where those who live here and who live around the world may study our process of learning how to keep the beat with nature through learning to live together cooperatively as a household that seeks to live in harmony with the earth. The motto of the house will be Keep The Beet. Through growing a simple beet in a pot, we can regain our beat with nature. Not all in the house garden. Some like to prepare food. Others help with other jobs, or rent. The land, as of January 2010 is being refinanced. A Trust to hold the land is being explored. The Seed Dream would be to leave a museum and park for future generations to learn from this experiment in cooperative living that has been going on since the early 1970′s. The intent is that what we learn here can help others, and Washington, understand and adapt to some of the shifts being asked of all of us now.
3- To develop relationships with those who influence Washington and government. A vast coalition across all political, religious, and philosophical lines has now formed. Mainstream media needs to be reached through bloggers filling the gap where journalism once told all points of view. Elected leaders need to be encouraged to follow the principles expressed in the song “America The Beautiful.”
4- We see the world as we know it now coming to an end. A Shift has already happened. It is for each of us to adapt to the earth and relearn the laws of nature, rather than attempt to further adapt nature to our ways. The source of our economic and health crisis is that we have lost our beat with nature. We can regain the beet through becoming once again a nation of gardeners who live in a world of gardeners. One Pot+One person=You are a Gardener. Start to grow your own food now.
