DON'T LET THEM ABOLISH EXISTING STATE FOOD LABELING PROTECTIONS
Just in case you weren't sick and tired enough of corporate special interests writing word for word every piece of legislation passed by our corrupt Congress, along comes the so-called "National Uniformity for Food Act", H.R. 4167.
What it would actually "uniformly" do is gut every existing state regulation on food safety and labeling. They want
to make it ILLEGAL to put more consumer information on our food than permitted by a new "look the other way" federal
standard.
Even though there have been NO hearings on this, final vote may be as soon as Wednesday, March 8. If passed by the usual gang of arm-twisting vote
holder openers, H.R. 4167 would make it impossible for we the consumers to monitor the infiltration of our food supply by a toxic stew of genetically butchered organisms, pesticide and heavy metal residues, irradiation, and synthetic hormones. With an administration based on government secrecy run amok, they literally want to turn the pollution of our food by unnatural additives into classified information. Why do the corporate biotech giants pushing this bill not want us to know what they are putting in our food? What are they afraid we might do . . . not eat it?
