The New FDA- Broad Powers Over All Farmers: Big, Small, Backyard

Food Safety. Never let a good peanut-butter scare go to waste. So, in the name of “keeping us safe”, Democrats in the House and Senate have created similar proposed legislation that would essentially eliminate smaller farmers and organic farms. The House Bill, H.R. 875, creates an entirely new, giant bureaucracy…the New FDA. It would strip all of the food safety powers currently held by the FDA, and give them to the New FDA, along with an enormous amount of new regulation. Of course, it was ghost-written by Monsanto.

From data tracking devices and programs, to forced-use of chemicals and drugs in livestock (and SO much more that many farmers can’t afford), H.R. 875 is so broadly written that it technically could cover your own backyard garden. The Senate version, S 425 is a tad bit tamer- it keeps the FDA as it is, but gives it many more regulations to use in the name of “food safety.”

Obama’s new appointee to head the FDA, Margaret Hamburg, is leading the charge for this increase in government control and size. Hamburg is a former New York health inspector. Look for the mainstream media to get behind these efforts in a big way, by pushing the crap as a solution to the perceived inadequacy of food safety oversight.
