Food Riots Coming?

If you don't believe food riots can and will happen in this country, please read the following and think about it.

-- 1% of the US population grows all of the food for all Americans.

-- Nearly all Americans know essentially nothing about where the food they eat every day comes from. How it gets from the ground to them. And they don't want to know about it. It's cheap, as close as their local store, and of high quality. So no worries.

-- The bulk of the food we eat comes from grain. Although they raise a lot of fruits and vegetables in California, Arizona, Florida, Oregon and Washington, those things don't compose the main part of the average diet. Half of what a meat animal is raised on is grain so when you eat meat you are really eating grain. And, of course, we eat grain directly as bread, bagels, doughnuts, pasta, etc. Milk (and milk products like cheese) comes from cows that eat grain. A lot of grain. And the grain they eat is not produced where the cows are located.

-- The lion's share of grain produced in the US is done in a concentrated part of the US Midwest (Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri is the center of this area). The grain is moved to the coasts (where 70% of the population live) by only TWO (2) railroads.

-- Nothing is stored for very long in a supermarket. One day grain travels (by rail) from Kansas to Seattle to a flour mill. The next day the flour mill makes the flour and sends it to a bakery. The next day the bakery makes it into bread (and other baked things) and the next day it is at the store where it is purchased that day. Nobody stores anything. The grain is produced and stored in the Midwest and shipped daily in a single railroad pipeline to the rest of America where the people live.

-- Up until the 1980s there was a system that stored a lot of grain in elevators around the country. At one time, a whole year's harvest of grain was stored that way. But since taxpayers were paying to store it, certain urban politicians engineered the movement of that money from providing a safety net or backup for their own food supply in order to give the money to various other social welfare things. So now, nothing is stored. We produce what we consume each year and store practically none of it. There is no contingency plan.

Obama To Sign Food Safety Bill

It's going to cost $1.4 Billion, but they say it will protect us. Protect us from what? Salmonella, ecoli? - Sure, because millions of Americans die each year from these types of food borne diseases, right? WRONG. Actually, the fact is an estimated 3,000 people in the U.S. die from food borne illnesses.

This Food Safety Bill is not at all about safety, it is not about protecting you, or myself, or your cat or dog. It is about control. Once Odumbo signs this Bill, our food will be controlled by the U.S. Government. - Welcome to the Socialist U.S.! --

Forget about farmer's markets in your community, forget about growing your own garden for fresh fruits and vegetables. Your government is here to put a stop to all of it.

Back At It

I've been absent from posting, but not from the news. It is challenging to post every day, especially when you feel that the same stories are being posted in hundred of blogs every single day. Who's going to read what I'm posting? Who cares? Anyway, that has been my reasoning behind the fact that I've not posted lately. But, then, as of recently, I kind of feel like a woman without a country. My husband says my views are too strong. He says I won't waver on what I believe, and that's not always a good thing. To him I say 'I do not care. I believe what I believe. I will not cave to the liberals, the ragheads, the Democrats, or the liberal beliefs.' So there. That is where I am.

Obama is still President, but the House of Representatives is now controlled by the Republicans, so a small victory for us. We are still in the hands of the Dems as far as the Senate, so the battle continues.

Obama has managed to push through the Food Modernization Bill - he claims the Bill is for our protection...ecoli..salmonella. Whatever. This Bill is about control. Plain and simple. He has just nationalized the food industry.
From natural news is this:
Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, has been called "the most dangerous bill in the history of the United States of America." It would grant the U.S. government new authority over the public's right to grow, trade and transport any foods. This would give Big brother the power to regulate the tomato plants in your backyard. It would grant them the power to arrest and imprison people selling cucumbers at farmer's markets. It would criminalize the transporting of organic produce if you don't comply with the authoritarian rules of the federal government.Learn more: http://www.naturalnews.com/030418_Food_Safety_Modernization_Act_seeds.html#ixzz19QosQJWf

Stay informed and on your toes. This administration is stealing our freedoms one Bill at a time.

Remember The Egg Recall? Told ya so.

This is from a Campaign for Liberty email. Not good if true. Look for more Fed raids on people who are minding their own business, simply eating and growing what they choose to:



Quote:
Power-hungry statists are never satisfied.
Now they’re attempting to use a massive egg recall to shove S. 510, the so-called "Food Safety Modernization Act," down our throats. Section 401 of S. 510 authorizes nearly $1 billion to grow the FDA’s reach and calls for almost 4,000 new bureaucrats to be hired in fiscal year 2010 alone.

The statists have worked to replace "credible evidence" with "reasonable probability" in the U.S. Code, giving the FDA power to invade, quarantine, or shut down private property in search of any foodborne illness.

They also changed "presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals" to "is adulterated or misbranded." What exactly constitutes adulterated? That glass of raw milk? An FDA bureaucrat will decide.

It gets worse.

The bill also grants blanket authority for federal agencies to impose international guidelines and standards on domestic food producers - giving agencies authority to harmonize all American food production and processes in line with the globalist Codex.

It should be noted that Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Judd Gregg (R-NH), Chris Dodd (D-CT), and Richard Burr (R-NC) coordinated to reach a "bipartisan" agreement to forge ahead with the otherwise stalled bill.
