S.510 Depredation

Background Info — walterj 1:56 pm

There is an important article everyone should read over at the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund. The Senate is working hard to take away not just our rights to farm but consumers choice.

  • “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]

MetroFarm Radio: Judith & S.510

Background Info — walterj 2:56 pm

A FOOD CHAIN RADIO RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste.” Rahm Emanuel

To protect us from contaminated foods that come from thousands of miles away, government is passing truckloads of food safety legislation like S510, the Food Safety Modernization Act. But this effort leads us to ask…

Will food safety legislation kill local food?

This Saturday at 9am Pacific, Michael Olson’s Food Chain Radio hosts Judith McGeary from Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance and Dr. Shiv Chopra from Health Canada for a conversation about S510, the Food Safety Modernization Act. (S510’s author, Senator Richard Durbin, has declined to participate.)

Topics include a look at what foods are in crisis; who is telling government how to make food safe; and what impact S510 and related food safety legislation will have on our access to food.
