This is a call to action!!! I have just been alerted by a good friend about H.R. Bill 875. Congress will meet again March 30, 2009 to vote. At first glance this bill looks like it’s looking out for the food safety of the American people by establishing a new “Food Safety Administration”.
As some have interpreted, this bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to “make sure there is no danger to the public food supply”. This is to include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales. If this passes, then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans. Please call your Senators and Representatives or send an e-mail and ask them to vote against HR 875.
