H.R. 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009

Mar 26, 2009 12:09

"To establish the Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional contamination, and for other purposes."

There are a number of folks rushing to conclusions that this is a Monsanto buffing, organic farm killer.  I'm not convinced it is that nefarious in nature, but I am concerned with the amount of backing Monsanto is providing and the extremely vague wording of this bill.  Educate yourself and respond to your representatives in Congress accordingly.
