Sad Day for Food Freedom

The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2751 - the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act - on Dec 22 with a 216 to 144 vote (yes, many members of the House did not even vote).

Formerly called Food Safety Bill S510, this Bill is NOT About Food Safety. It is a draconian piece of legislation that literally places food under the control of the Department of Homeland Security, the organization created supposedly for foreign terrorists. Now, the DHS has the legal power to seize food production, force recalls, and shut down any farms it deems unsafe. This includes your backyard garden - should you want to sell anything you produce on your land, or even give away to a neighbor.

So it is now a revolutionary act to grow your own food, and we hope you all do!

Wherever you are located we urge families to develop their own square foot gardens and become as independent as possible from the attempt to control our food to restrict our freedoms. For help on how to grow your own healthy food see the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Food Freedom Journal at http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=2788.

Better buy yourself some heirloom seeds while you still have the chance.

In this video made prior to the passing of the bill, Glenn Beck explains the implications and urges people to express their opposition to it:



Here, Dr. Rima E. Laibow MD, Medical Director of Natural Solutions Foundation, urges First Lady Michelle Obama to intervene on behalf of the people:

RED ALERT! S.510 WILL PASS ON WEDNESDAY
UNLESS WE PUSH BACK HARD NOW!
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=7446

Campaign for Libertybroke the story earlier today [Monday 11.15.10] that S.510, the horrific, fake “food safety” bill (and possibly its evil companions, S.3767 and the discredited S.3002) will be pushed through the Lame Duck Congress this week. It is definitely on the Obama Lame Duck Agenda. Our friends in DC have confirmed this.

Update: 11.15.10 10 PM: Tea Party Nation reports: “On Wednesday, there will be a cloture vote on Senate bill S.510.”

Max Igan... How to Defeat Bill S.510

Max Igan - American Voice Radio - 09/02/10

The criminalization of home food production is a crime against our humanity and our most basic human right. We must NOT lay down and comply to this! It is your duty as a citizen to defend your right to grown food.

Now is the time to get together as community and put food as much throughout the community as possible. To this end, Max has fostered local community gatherings, and is initiating Permaculture gardening awards in his region. Building community is really the only option we have available to stand against the changes that are coming.

Max continues with more advice, including how to make friends and sway your local law enforcers to do the right thing...

Stop the Criminalization of Slow Food! Act Today to Defeat Bill S.510

Dr Rima Laibow MD tells how a new Bill S.510 seeks to force the industrialization and corporatization of our food production. If passed this Bill would essentially outlaw all organic and backyard farming....

• No small farmers can save their own seeds, organic farmers would be forced to use dangerous agrichemicals.
  
• In essence it criminalizes the growing of clean, local food.
  

This Bill has already been accepted by the US Senate, but public pressure has kept it from being passed. It will only die at the end of this session of Congress if public pressure is maintained.
