Over The past few decades, as GMO crops emerged, the organic public and others have asked for labeling laws that will simply tell them if they are getting a GMO product. The government keeps trying to use this movement to get more control over the food. It is unfortunate that GMO's were released into the fields of the world before satisfactory test could be done. There have been test but to many unsatisfactory. There have been many proposals of law on this subject and most fell short of solving the problems that many feel need to be addressed. Our government has voted down almost all laws concerning GMO labeling because the proposed legislation did not make the problem better - only worse. At this time (with 2012 elections coming up) it will be interesting to see what proposals will be made on the GMO front.Excerpt From The New York Times 08/29/2009:Alarmed that genetically engineered crops may be finding their way into organic and natural foods, an industry group has begun a campaign to test products and label those that are largely free of biotech ingredients. A campaign hopes to back up claims some food makers are already making.
Interesting note from the CDC web site While the prevalence of smoking has decreased dramatically over the past three decades, the trends in incidences of lung cancer have not been as impressive as it was thought to be. In 1975, nearly 43 percent of males and 32 percent of females were cigarette smokers. Those numbers dropped to nearly 23 percent for males and 17 percent for females in 2005. During that same time period, 1975 to 2005, the rate of lung cancer incidence in males went from 89 per 100,000 to 74 per 100,000. The incidence of lung cancer in females during that same time period has doubled, increasing from approximately 25 per 100,000 to just over 50 per 100,000. Why has the ban on smoking not affected the rates of lung cancer the government thought it would? Below is a film that you and everyone you know should watch! FALL OF THE REPUBLIC DO IT NOW!Write Your Senator and all of the Senators and tell them you do not want laws that are not clean bills on targeted subject matter to get passed. We want to know what's in the bill before it becomes a bill! The health care bill was shown on several network stations and it is as big as two cinder blocks put together - and most of our leaders that voted on the bill admitted that they did not read the bill it was to
cumbersome
and time consuming. Food safety was a part of this bill and most feel the approach is over reaching and does not address the real problems. It is important to note that farms are big offenders but the biggest offenders are big corporate farms. LEAVE THE SMALL FARMERS ALONE! We have a vote coming up in 2012. We will use our votes and every time the establishment takes advantage of the American citizen we will vote them out!!! I can't even imagine what is going to happen if we let it get to the point that our votes don't count. Will we just bend over and take it? Will there be violence in the streets? Will the people rise against the government or will it be the next
holocaust
? Please ask your senators to vote down any food safety bill until it excludes all family farms from cumbersome activities and includes only big mono corporate farms that are the culprits in the farming industry. Ask for plan English bills that are not thousands and thousands of pages. If ignorance is no excuse for not obeying the law make the laws where the average citizen can understand it. We all know that there are many that do not want us to understand the laws that are being passed - if you don't believe that look at your local referendums on the next ballot.
