N.J. Company Urged to Recall Peanuts

How could a company be so careless? They should be forced to turn over pertinent records.

HR 875 Is Not About Food Safety, It's About Genocide of Agricultural Biodiversity

One of the most potentially dangerous bills we've ever heard of is trying to sneak its way through Congress right now, in the sheep's clothing of so-called "modernization" of food safety. HR 875 (text of bill) is a bill put up by Monsanto and other monolithic corporations trying to seize totalitarian control over all agriculture. It was introduced by Rosa DeLauro, whose husband WORKS for Monsanto, and is ultimately about one thing, defining ONLY their own GMO products as "safe". What makes the bill so dangerous is that it is heavy on penalties including prison time, while at the same time being incredibly vague about what would actually trigger those sanctions. HR 875 is nothing but a Trojan horse, with an invading army to be designated later, in the form of an bureaucratic administrator (most likely a corporate lobbyist shill) with draconian LAW MAKING POWER to make up their own definitions so that all competitors are either driven into bankruptcy or locked up. There are problems with food safety we can talk about, but HR 875 is not going to make us safer, any more than invading Iraq made us safer.

It MUST be stopped.

I would really miss eating peanuts, though. Ignorance is bliss?

Thank you for the right-on link. Independent agriculture is as right on as non-toxic rain:-D I'm down with not supporting HR 875. I needed that link too, as I am hot on the case to prosecute GWB. peace.

If I had to choose between death and peanuts... hmmm
