S.510 "FDA Food Safety Modernization ActS. 510 - Bill Text - 111th Congress (2009-2010) - THOMAS (Library ...There are 2 versions of Bill Number S.510 for the 111th Congress. ... FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (Introduced in Senate - IS)[S.510.IS][PDF] ...From Modern Survival Blog: Food prices are going up and are predicted to go up rapidly during 2011 as probable inflation sets in with the further devaluing of the dollar (and most all other currencies). In the US, the Senate is currently ready to pass legislation which will definitely attribute to higher food costs, and may harm small farmers who sell locally (although there is an amendment being considered to exempt "small" farmers who sell locally). Senate Bill S.510, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, if passed in the Senate, will move on to the House of Representatives for the next approval. The bill will layer a new set of government bureaucracy on the food industry with a purpose of further prevention of food-borne illness which kill up to 5,000 people each year. Although preventing deaths is a wonderful thing, and being assured that the foods we purchase at grocery stores are "OK", to what end will government go to "protect" us from ourselves? I wonder if existing FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations and inspections could be improved instead of building a entire new layer of regulations, requirements, and personnel, all of which apparently will fall under the Department of Homeland Security. I did some due-diligence and browsed through some of the paperwork of this bill (as much as I could tolerate before reaching for a bottle of Aspirin) on the Library of Congress website, and fortunately did not find reference to regulations on my patch of tomato plants in the backyard. Until I see helicopters overhead with Infrared or night vision FLIR systems looking for beans, lettuce, or tomato plants in backyards, I will hold off on ordering that giant sun mesh net to hide my backyard from the helicopters and spy satellites If anyone knows differently, or has more insight to this bill, please comment, and let us all know. The S.510 bill will allow "the Administrator" to enforce regulations that would require farmers to use "best practices" in agriculture. Unfortunately, those will be defined by "the Administrator" who is expected to be Michael Taylor, Monsanto VP and lawyer. Monsanto, a huge corporation that supplies most of the seeds (95% of them genetically modified) to large agricultural mass-producing farms, stands to benefit with even more control over food supplies. The fact that their seeds are genetically modified, enables them to control many aspects of what a farmer uses from year to year, and therefore what we eat. For example, in the US there are more than 40,000 deaths each year resulting from car accidents. That is 8 times as many deaths from food-borne illness. Perhaps a government designed or properly approved and regulated automobile is in order, to save us. Wait a minute… I believe the government owns a majority interest of General Motors… Uh-Oh. Rather than boring you with more similar examples, suffice it to say that the government cannot save us from ourselves. The USA has become a Nanny State – Police State. The pressure of the noose around the necks of the American public continue to tighten while they are reaching deeper into our pockets for every last penny that they can find. …just my opinion.
