Good work Boxer and Feinstein, the FDA just announced it will prosecute those that
manufacture injectable vitamin C, even thought it’s used by the military for burn victims.
How many will die because of what you have done?

Anderson is right. The big food and drug producers will be far less affected by this than the informal mom and pop coops. Say goodbye to PTA bake sale fundraisers. Say goodbye to small town farmers’ markets. I can see it now- men in black descending on the Central High School cheerleaders’ cookie sale and closing it down for lack of FDA paperwork. Smith’s Truck Farm unable to sell its tomatoes for lack of a heath inspection certificate. But hey, the feds are protecting us from ourselves and that’s the most important thing, right? Screw the unintended consequences.

Actually no this is yet another betrayal by Demoxrats, and president Obama. It will not
increase food safety. It allows the FDA, who already kills hundreds of thousand a year
with bad drugs, to continue their work for the plutocrats. It’s like promoting a crooked cop
to police chief.

The bill exempts food grown overseas, which will encourage more imported foods. Many
of those foods are grown with toxic pesticides banned here in the USA. Currently there is
almost no inspection of those foods, and there isn’t likely to be any. It will also likely
increase food prices as this bill will likely force small organic farms out of business.

It’s another gift to the plutocracy by the Democrats, another reason why president
Obama must not be elected to a second term, and why the Democratic party, is just
another version of the Republican party.

That bill went into law mighty faster than the
speed of fed ex. Wonder how much the corporate
food industry will make of this piece of corporate
welfare and tax cuts.
