Government To Outlaw Growing Food, Privately?

That statement sounds outrageous.  Here is what I've found so far:

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.

History
In the 1990s, Bill Clinton introduced HACCP (Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points) purportedly to deal with contamination in the meat industry. Clinton’s HACCP delighted the offending corporate (World Trade Organization “WTO”) meat packers since it allowed them to inspect themselves, eliminated thousands of local food processors (with no history of contamination), and centralized meat into their control. Monsanto promoted HACCP.

In 2008, Hillary Clinton, urged a powerful centralized food safety agency as part of her campaign for president. Her advisor was Mark Penn, CEO of Burson Marsteller*, a giant PR firm representing Monsanto. Clinton lost, but Clinton friends such as Rosa DeLauro, whose husband’s firm lists Monsanto as a progressive client and globalization as an area of expertise, introduced early versions of S 510.
S 510 fails on moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and human survival grounds.

In the 1930's, Stalin wanted to go global with their grain so he declared that ALL farms/crops, etc now belonged to the govt...the people rebelled and troops were sent in. Millions starved, were shot, sent to gulags, in the most fertile part of the country because the law stated that ALL the farms and what grew on them belonged to the govt! They were not even allowed to eat what they grew...the plan was successful= Russian grain got the global market at the cost of over 11 million innocent lives. Don't think it can't happen again!!!!

to the person that said this is a lot of nonsense, below are some statements taken directly from the bill that would, in effect, outlaw personal choice of what we feed ourselves and our children.---

“There is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular food.” [A–p. 25]
“There is no ‘deeply rooted’ historical tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds.” [A–p. 26]
“Plaintiffs’ assertion of a ‘fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families’ is similarly unavailing because plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.” [A–p. 26]
“There is no fundamental right to freedom of contract.” [A–p. 27]

this is just one more of the crimes, uh, legislations, against the US citizens and constitution that will take away more freedoms. Big agri-biz wants to control ALL food sources so they will have all the marbles. Check out nonais to find out how my telling the govt everywhere I go with my horse will insure that big ag is raising safe meat on factory farms (and we do not live within 200 miles of any factory farm!!!!!)
