Re: China 'buried smog death finding'
This is all one small part of a bigger picture.
Codex is a done deal since July 4th 2005. Everyone complies or faces sanctions. What will happen is already happening in Germany;
"He handed me a small packet with a price sticker of DM 200 (then about $200) containing vitamin E capsules manufactured by one of Germany's largest pharmaceutical companies. The source was synthetic, not the 'mixed' version from living plant sources I wanted, which contains the whole E spectrum.
"The package contained a total of 10,000 international units of E, the equivalent of a mere 25 capsules of 400 IUs each that we are used to buying. Our bottles contain 90 capsules and cost about $20. If Codex rules in Canada, we will likely pay $800 for a bottle of 90 capsules of low-quality vitamin E – if Health Canada lets us buy that many at once, and if you can find a doctor willing to prescribe it."

Are we ready? Signing petitions on line does next to nothing; it feels good, but does not stop the machine from rolling forward; hiding what they want inside an innocuous bill... all out "live" peaceful protest may only slow the juggernaut... world wide passionate protest may have some impact. But how much? At what cost? GMO's are set to increase in Europe (remember Codex is moving in faster there), even Thailand has given in.

It will not be long now before GMO's are grown "organically" and labeled such; without mention of the GMO.
Better learn what plants live and survive in your current environment and get to planting... learn how to save seed to replant next year. We may need to learn how, or become even more of a slave to the system.
It is going to get harder for people to get and stay healthy...
