Rosa Delauro Still Trying To Take Away Our Right To Eat

By Steve Green - S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. It is to our food what the bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money.

“If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.” ~Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower

It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food.

Monsanto says it has no interest in the bill and would not benefit from it, but Monsanto’s Michael Taylor who gave us rBGH and unregulated genetically modified (GM) organisms, appears to have designed it and is waiting as an appointed Food Czar to the FDA (a position unapproved by Congress) to administer the agency it would create — without judicial review — if it passes. S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming.

Rosa Delauro Introduces Bill To Destroy The Family Farm



It is also noteworthy that Rosa Delauro's husband is a Monsanto executive. The destruction of the family farm will reap big rewards for monsanto. Please Call Rosa Delauro and tell her you object to this bill.

Representative Jim Himes disagrees on at least one point and said that to his knowledge: "Rosa's husband does not currently work for Monsanto, however he will vote against Delauro's bill believing it to infact be problematic to organic and family farmers and not getting the benefits he believes are advertised."

Please contact Rosa Delauro's Connecticut office directly at (203) 562-3718.
