I highly recommend you read this resolution in it's entirety. Look into how this can affect organic farming, restaurants, you name it. Do you want the federal government to come in and tell you that you cannot grow your organic vegetables to sell at the local farmer's market without an annual federal registration, constant federal inspections, and more? What ever happened to constitutional guarantees of state rights? This resolution is an affront to common sense.

Re: HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
Wed, April 1, 2009 - 10:55 PMI don't understand Title IV, sec 401.9
can you explain that please?
yes yes, there are others, but if we start with the basics we may get down to a complete understanding and fierce overhaul if needed. -

Re: HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
Sat, April 4, 2009 - 5:29 PMI take it to mean you can't bring live animals like chickens, cows, etc to the restaurant to be killed, butchered, then cooked and served for consumption at the same place.
When I was growing up, we had a local convenience store with a restaurant inside. (This was real country) You would drive by in the morning and see a cow outside. You would come in for lunch, no cow, but fresh meat in the display counter. Your choice of lunch was what was in the display case, and once that was gone, the restaurant closed for the day. They did a lot of business for lunch. Something about knowing your beef was super fresh, you know?
I really do think this will put a damper on such business that sell specialties like peking duck that you order a day in advance. Because they would have to go buy the duck, kill it, then cook it. Now, they have to go buy a dead duck.
Either way, this provision is simply because too many people cannot stomach the thought of their food being killed in the same place it gets cooked.

Wed, April 1, 2009 - 11:30 PMThe only way it can be done is to make the inspections and registration so onerous that only big companies will be able to do it. Anything that Monsanto is behind can only be good for Monsanto and bad for humanity. Are we who say "watch out", overreacting? Or is overreacting the only defense we have against the ill intended machinations of big business and big government? -

Sat, April 4, 2009 - 5:21 PM******General statement to anyone who reads this
This is what you get with liberals in charge. They are all for womb to tomb government control of your every day lives. The only way to get that "free" healthcare is to tax the hell out of you. The only way to get "safe" food is to have the government control it and tax the hell out of it.
This is how it works when the "people" no longer want to take any kind of personal responsibility for any aspect of their lives. All they say is, "let da gubment do it, I deserve (am entitled to) safe food that is also cheap if not free!"
Did you know that there are people out there who firmly believe food should be free?!!!!!?!?!?!?!?
If you want Communism, move to a communist country. It is a proven failure of a system which always leads to a tyranny, but hey, if that's how you wanna live, run along. -

Wed, April 15, 2009 - 2:37 PMWow Wendy. That's quite the little OpEd piece.
Monsanto is Liberal? Newsflash for most of us, I think.
Seems to me, it's the Conservative side of things that likes to regulate, tax and oversee small business' and personal lives while freeing their larger business partners from the same. Check the reality. Liberal. Conservative. They're both wrong and in the same ways.
And no. I'm not a Liberal, nor am I a Conservative.. I'm a freakin' independent libertarian, if a title must be chosen.
HR875 is bad news, top to bottom.
No matter your political platform.
Defy it. -

Re: HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
Wed, April 15, 2009 - 8:33 PMWhen did I ever mention Monsanto, or Monsanto being liberal?
Why not go back and read from the very beginning and try again. Might help you out there a little.
And it's the liberals who want the humongous government we have. Schools not churning out enough A students? Have the gubment take it over. People going hungry or not living a home they own? Let the gubment take that over too. People out of a job? Let the gubment take that as well. Of course, every little thing the gubment takes over means just a little more of your freedom and liberty gone.
I firmly believe in small government, a servant of the people. They work for us and they can be FIRED! -

Re: HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
Sat, April 18, 2009 - 12:48 PMWhoa, that's some zesty bias.. and blanket opinions
Consider, Wendy, that the government institution we have in place isn't controlled by any one group, and the resulting s@*# we see today is the result of Everyone's needs and opinions.. not just 'liberals' or whatnot.
I dont really care to argue, I just wanted to say something.. but feel free to respond. The institutions of taxation and internal revenue are geared toward the large corporations, yes, but these institutions are also self-sustaining entities that would be present with or without your liberals or conservatives.. whoever the hell they are! hehe -

Re: HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
Sat, April 18, 2009 - 12:49 PMand, yes, support local sustainable farming initiatives, and show up for the wonderful farmer's markets!!
Our faces are what keep these free flowing things around, not letters -

Re: HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
Sun, April 19, 2009 - 10:22 AMlack of communication with your elected officials is how we got to this state of humongous government and loss of liberty, not to mention our hard earned paychecks.
You go on and ignore reality, until they shut down your farmer's market. Have fun with that. -

Re: HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
Mon, April 20, 2009 - 11:36 PMShit, if there's anything we liberals like to do, it's to spend our money at the farmers' market. If I had it my way, there would be a Federal Department of Buying Local to enforce regular farmers' market attendance by all US citizens, and that agency would tax the hell out of regular people like you to provide coffee-cart subsidies for me and all the other degenerates. Who needs liberty when you've got those smooooth (organic free trade) lattes? Too bad you found out about our twisted plan to get Monsanto to shut down the farmers markets. It was so sneaky and backwards that only an insane genius could have seen the connection, but i guess we underestimated you. And I see that is not all you have unearthed.
"Schools not churning out enough A students? Have the gubment take it over. "
How did you find out?!!? How could anyone comprehend our anti-logic to have the *government* take over *public* schools?
"Did you know that there are people out there who firmly believe food should be free?!!!!!?!?!?!?!?"
SILEnCE! Do not listen to the woman behind the curtain! NOBODY believe that's food should be free. NOBODY believes in providing assistance to the needy. Please resume watching the Teletubbies. -

Tue, April 21, 2009 - 5:34 PMBWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
If you had any actual research experience and read up on other research regarding the "green" potential of farmer's markets over commercial markets, you would know how silly you just made yourself out to be. What are you going to, have EVERYONE walk to and from the farmer's markets from the cities? They could ride bikes, even though you need oil for those too. But if they DRIVE to those farmer's markets, then you are an even bigger sucker than I thought you were.
BWAAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAHAH! -

Re: HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
Thu, April 23, 2009 - 5:17 PMYes, I see. Thank you for pointing out the inadvertent silliness of my previous comments. I will report this right away to my liberal comrades, and we will revise our plans for world domination through mandatory farmers' market attendance. -
