And the powers it gives the FDA make it a prelude to Codex Alimentarius, which basically would give the FDA control of food, telling farmers what they can grow and eliminating organic foods because they don't like the use of manure. Remember that it applies to any “facility” that holds, processes, or manufactures food. Doesn't that include your kitchen? Are you an idiot? This bill is the beginning of the end for small farmers and producers. In fact, its passage will pretty much eliminate them without further ado. And the FDA still won't have to regulate or police the factory farms if it doesn't want to. You had better pray that the Senate kills it.
