Today, the US Senate passed the Patriot Act for Food, S510, by a vote of 73 to 25. We can expect to watch the raids on natural foods increase, and we can expect continued malicious prosecution of growers, like the 2-acre gardener in Georgia.
We can also expect private food arrangements to go underground, so as to opt out of the increased rules and regulations we can expect from the FDA.

they are so full of devisive delusions of grandeur and they will reap what they have sown

You can surrender
Without a prayer
But never really pray
Pray without surrender
You can fight
Fight without ever winning
But never ever win
Win without a fight
Now get out there and rock.
and roll the bones, get busy!
This is deliberate poisoning. The FDA never should have been allowed to
over-see organic farming as they are biased. So much for contacting ones
Senator. Health be with you.
Now get this. Food Inc, the movie supposedly attacking Monsanto, turns out their producers SUPPORTED S510!!!!
The heartening thing? Look at the comments on their facebook posting.
