Several states are loosening control over raw milk, while the FDA is pushing as always for more federal control.
Texas, Oregon, Minnesota, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin all have pending legislation to legalize raw milk sales, ease restrictions, or "decriminalize" raw milk sales...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will be spawning a new agency (read: government run corporation) called the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. The center will receive $1 Billion in funding and will research new compounds which will be given to huge pharmaceutical...
The Food Safety bill (S.B. 510) is back on the move. It creates a government registration of the nation's food growers, the power to shut down growers without due process, and at least 4000 new FDA Agents to enforce their laws. An unelected bureaucrat will have the power to decide who is...
Much evidence exists that suggests that psychiatric drugs can actually cause an escalation in violence, and may be responsible for the emergence of unprovoked mass-murder from otherwise normal people. Mass shooters and so many other people who kill their own families are nearly always on...
I've been reading about Codex Alimentarius for awhile now. As someone who supports local farmers, I can't even imagine the consequences if something like this were to go into effect.
Senate Bill S 510 Food Safety Modernization Act vote imminent: Would outlaw gardening and saving seeds

We already have the surgeon general's warning on cigarettes. It looks like these new "warning labels" are designed to make people feel bad.
Yeah, that's what we need, our regulators guilt-tripping us into compliance.
Smoking might not be the popular thing to do these days, but Government using Fascist methods of forcing companies to print stupid graphics on their products is not the answer either.
In 2009 the FDA gained the brand-new power of regulating tobacco products for the first time. One more...
This may come as news to some of you, but Genetically Modified (GM) foods are currently being approved by the FDA and are on your supermarket shelves.
I am against the FDA, but as long as it exists, it ought to actually do what it is supposed to do. Customers want to know if food is coming...
The FDA has made it clear that we peasants have no right to choose the foods we eat without their permission. Naturally-made cheese and milk are cracked down on using violent police raids, as if the farmers were running a meth lab. This is routine news, the natural foods market is being...
I'm not sure if anyone has heard about this, but congress is attempting to pass a bill with post haste which will outlaw organic farming. Basically making the Chemical and Genetic research corporation Monsanto in charge of what we eat.
This includes small farms and home gardens. You would not...

""WASHINGTON -- The Food and Drug Administration is taking aim at caffeinated alcoholic drinks, saying it will pull them off the market unless manufacturers can prove the...
This bill passed the House July 30, 2009!! IT IS HALFWAY TO BEING LAW!!!
This will add heavy regulations to the way food-growers raise food. Small farmers will be essentially regulated out of existence. It will be too complicated and expensive to keep up with the demands of the government...
Folks, whether or not you like/tolerate/hate smoking, watch this development. The Senate just voted to authorize the takeover of the tobacco regulations by the FDA.
I've long watched the anti-tobacco forces and the anti-gun forces.
These two "anti" groups seem to use many of the same...
