Monsanto has to be one of the most vile outfits in business.
NaturalNews) The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund recently reported the unveiling of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (H.R. 875) on Feb. 4, 2009, by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), to both the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the House Committee on Agriculture. Cosponsored by 36 other Congressmen, all Democrats, H.R. 875 would essentially transfer all state control over food regulation to the Food Safety Administration (FSA), a newly-established federal bureaucracy to be created within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Its implications point to the elimination of all independent, family farms as well as all organic farming operations due to overbearing federal regulations subjectively determined by FSA in favor of corporate factory farms.
Rosa Delauro the person who introduced this bill is married to an employee of the giant agrobiz Monsantos.

indeed they are alarmingly scary.
Just greasing the gears that allowed them to set the precedent for being able to patent life-forms is scary. I imagine it would have happened sooner or later in bio-med if not agribusiness, but their intellectual property lawsuits are notorious in their overkill, even in cases where wind carried Monsanto seed to non-Monsanto farmer's fields.
"Point to"?
Wow.
So micca is pushing another lie.
Hardly surprising.
Many links to both camps here:

Yeah they're reminicent of standard oil in their absolute arrogance and brutality. They know they have the goverment in their pocket, they don't even pretend to hide the fact.
About Rosa Delauro, yeah.
talk of pushing lies chimp how's your "good war" going.
It's crazy. Even if there are real issues regarding this bill, people like him go and it up with outright lies that are easily exposed.
Stupid.
Were you against the Afghanistan war in 2001?
Nice attempt at trying to change the subject in your own thread once your lie is exposed.

Stupid.[/quot Well I trust your and whineholes judgemnt about as much as I trust monsantos and obama.
You're the one who lied here.
Why did you lie?
http://www.grist.org/article/2009-07...stions-remain/The argument seems to be about how the FDA would interpret the bill if it became law—FWW and CU urge us to believe that the agency would go gentle on small-scale producers, and the NSAC emphasizes that the agency could use its new authority to crack down on them.
This debate will continue when the Senate takes up the issue in the fall.
That last question is so simple and yet so hilarious at the same time.
Just wanted to get the OP in case something unexpected happened to it.
I didn't state any opinion.
The bill could have an impact on small producers, depending on how government agencies parse the language. And given the FDA's and USDA's track record on food safety, I'm not too sanguine about giving them even more authority to things up or about the creation of an additional food safety bureaucracy.
That said, some of the things claimed seem to be hyperbole.
I agree, except that definitely one of the things claimed by micca is an outright lie.
And now Monsanto wants its own employee, Michael Taylor back in government, this time to act with massive police power as a "food safety tsar" from inside the White House. This is the man who forced genetically engineered rBGH on us (unlabeled, and without warning) when the Clintons placed him over "food safety" in the 90s. HR 875 would give him immense power over what is done on every single farm in the country and massive police state power to wield over farmers and punishments to break them at will.
