Codex Alimentarius
Codex Alimentarius :
That's latin for Food Code, or Food Book.
It's a collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations relating to foods, food production and food safety. Its name derives from the Codex Alimentarius Austriacus.[1] Its texts are developed and maintained by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a body that was established in 1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Commission's main aims are stated as being to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the international food trade. The Codex Alimentarius is recognized by the World Trade Organization as an international reference point for the resolution of disputes concerning food safety and consumer protection.[2][3]

Somehow I missed this new law that passed before congress took their summer break.
You remember when I talked about this law:
H.R. 875, the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 http://amberquest.livejournal.com/168214.html
Fortunately that bill did not pass...however two weeks ago they passed this one:
H.R.2749 - Food Safety Enhancement Act.
Official Summary
6/8/2009--Introduced.
Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to set forth provisions governing food safety. Requires each food facility to:
(1) conduct a hazard analysis;
(2) implement preventive controls; and
(3) implement a food safety plan. Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to:
(1) issue science-based performance standards to minimize the hazards from foodborne contaminants;
(2) establish science-based standards for raw agricultural commodities;
(3) inspect facilities at a frequency determined pursuant to a risk-based schedule;
(4) establish a food tracing system;
(5) assess fees relating to food facility reinspection and food recall; and
(6) establish a program for accreditation of laboratories that perform analytical testing of food for import or export. Authorizes the Secretary to:
(1) order an immediate cessation of distribution, or a recall, of food;
(2) establish an importer verification program; and
(3) quarantine food in any geographic area within the United States. Defines the term "color additive" to include carbon monoxide that may affect the color of fresh meat, poultry products, or seafood. Requires country of origin labeling on food and annual registration of importers. Provides for unique identifiers for food facilities and food importers. Deems a food to be adulterated if an inspection is delayed or refused. Requires the Secretary to establish a corps of inspectors dedicated to inspections of foreign food facilities. Sets forth provisions governing the reorganization of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) field laboratories and district offices. Gives the Commissioner of Food and Drugs subpoena authority with respect to a food proceeding. Establishes whistleblower protections.
Basically it aims to control what type of foods people can grow, sell, eat, and what types of dietary supplement can be manufactured and sold. It even has rules about how a person can grow such foods.
Tt’s associated with a woman by the name of Dr. Rima Laibow, and she’s been a successful natural medicine physician since the 1970s. More importantly, she’s studied roughly 16,000 pages of Codex documentation so she knows what she’s talking about.
Quote:
Here's a brief quote that Dr. Laibow made during one speech on this subject back in 2005:
"Under Codex, every dairy cow on the planet must be treated with Monsanto's recombinant bovine growth hormone. Furthermore, under Codex, every animal used for food on the planet must be treated with sub-clinical antibiotics, and must be treated with exogenous growth hormone. If you do the numbers, in the WHO/FAO projections, the epidemiological projections, they estimate -- not I -- that just the vitamin and mineral guideline alone...when it goes into global implementation...on December 31, 2009...will result in a minimum of 3 billion -- that's 'B', 'bad, 'big' -- billion deaths! 1 billion through simple starvation! Those folks who die are not particularly, economically 'successful' from the point of view of the corporations, but the next 2 billion, they will die from the preventable diseases of under nutrition! Who will live? Probably those people who are wealthy enough and powerful enough to have their own pushers of clean food and nutrients."
It might sound absurd on the surface, but that’s because the Codex Alimentarius Commission is NOT a Public Health Commission or even a Consumer Protection Commission as advertised, but instead IS a Trade Commission! The worst part? In 1962, or 47 years ago, they stated that they're going to work toward total, global implementation of Codex Alimentarius on December 31, 2009.

In the Bill, every form of food production is monitored, regulated, and controlled at all levels by the federal government under the leadership of a new Food Safety Czar. Yet ANOTHER Czar, accountable to no one except the President. The worst part? The person who may be responsible for more food-related illness and death than anyone in history has just been made the U.S. Food Safety Czar. That is no joke. If Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), or GM Foods, are indeed responsible for massive sickness and death, then the individual who oversaw the FDA policy that facilitated their introduction holds a uniquely infamous role in human history. That person is Michael Taylor. He had been Monsanto's Attorney before becoming policy chief at the FDA. Soon after, he became Monsanto's Vice President and chief lobbyist. Today, he’s the Food Safety Czar.
EVERY SINGLE TIME a government controls the people’s food and farms. Mass death and genocide, for the purpose of controlling the people and bending them to the will of those in power, and that seems to be America’s near future the way this regime in Washington is going.
Revelation 6:5-6 -- "And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."
