Our anti-American Congress gets worse with each passing day passing laws the people clearly have spoken against. And here is the latest which unfortunately passed in the House and it is called H.R 1599, the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015 and now goes to the Senate for approval.
This legislation clearly dictated by Monsanto would do the following:
1. It would negate all existing GMO labeling laws thus codifying the current, broken system.
2. The bill would give jurisdiction over non-GMO certification to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which would use GMO “safety” review system based on industry science.
3. There is language in the bill that preempts state and local laws regarding the limiting of production of GMO crops, not just labeling.
4. The bill would expand the definition of “natural” to include some genetically modified ingredients. In January, Associated Press-GfK ran a poll and found 66% of Americans[25] support the labelling of genetically modified ingredients on food packages. Other polls[26] were run with similar results. Labeling GMO ingredients is popular with the American people yet, this Bill passed overwhelmingly in the House. Why would that happen?
“People will have Roundup Ready soya whether they like it or not” – Ann Foster,[27] spokesperson for Monsanto said.
We cannot allow multi-corporations, particularly one like Monsanto whose products have ruined the environment and harmed the health of millions dictate what legislation is going to be enacted, particularly if the people oppose it as they do with this legislation.
To try and stop this sinister legislation from getting on Mr. Obama's desk to sign into law you need to contact your two Senators in Washington and demand they reject this legislation.
