It looks as if it was written by and for Monsanto.
It would seriously harm small farmers, local farms, make it difficult if not impossible to safe seeds.
This is a bad bill to say the least. A good bill would substantially encourage local farming, small farms, organic farms, seed saving and much more.
Let house (and senate) members know this and the other stealth 'food' bill are totally unacceptable.

Ask Congress to Defeat HR 2749
http://www.gnhealth.com/calltoaction.html
A new food safety bill is on the fast track in Congress--HR 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. The bill needs to be stopped!
HR 2749 gives FDA tremendous power while significantly diminishing existing judicial restraints on actions taken by the agency. The bill would impose a one-size-fits-all regulatory scheme on small farms and local artisanal producers; and it would disproportionately impact their operations for the worse.
Working full tilt to stop that bill. I know stuff out there is terrible but we have to stop the bill. It opens the door to everything.
Reach others. Keep reaching others. Use the FTCLDF link.
FTCLDF.org Petition number 993
Put out a red alert. Don't stop on this. Everyone should be doing it all weekend. To media, to radio channels, to TV channels, to any group you can possibly think of, to churches and temples - everywhere.
And calls to the Judiciary committee chair, John Conyers, would be good. Let him know the country is going berserk to stop that bill because it is a disguised Patriot Act.
It is a take over of our country, using food as the cover.
Warrantless entry, no due process, surveillance, monitoring, taking of all records, unlimited punishments with no judicial review even over appropriateness and validity - that is, they can do whatever they want to any of us (because it covers anyone who "holds" food) without it even being appropriate or valid. And a shutting down of all food supplies to any area of the country and of all transportation that has ever "held" food - that is, all of it. That's martial law without needing a political reason, just declaring "contamination" or "agroterrorism" whenever they want.
They've turned food into a nightmare weapon. It's the Kissinger Plan of "control food, control people". And with that cut off of food movement, they can destroy any dissent, literally destroy any group, never mind destroying anyone in the food business by cutting off supplies to restaurants, groceries, etc.
Demand an investigation into who wrote it and the other bills.

His fax number is 202 225-7680 and they have to keep the faxes and share them with everyone.
He's interested Toxic Mold
Congressman John Conyers Introduces
H.R. 1268: "The United States Toxic Mold Safety and Protection Act" ("The Melina Bill")
So he won't be happy to learn that CODEX which is inside HR 2749 includes these standards:
* Dangerous and toxic levels (0.5 ppb) of aflotoxin in milk produced from moldy storage conditions of animal feed will be allowed. Aflotoxin is the second most potent (non-radiation) carcinogenic compound known to man.
* All nutrients (vitamins and minerals) are to be considered toxins/poisons and are to be removed from all food because Codex prohibits the use of nutrients to “prevent, treat or cure any condition or disease”
http://www.smh.com.au/national/catfood-irradiation-banned-as-pet-theory-proved-20090529-bq8h.html
* Nutrients allowed will be limited to a Positive List developed by Codex which will include such beneficial nutrients like Fluoride (3.8 mg daily) developed from environmental waste. All other nutrients will be prohibited nationally and internationally to all Codex-compliant countries [2].
* All nutrients (e.g., CoQ10, Vitamins A, B, C, D, Zinc and Magnesium) that have any positive health impact on the body will be deemed illegal under Codex and are to be reduced to amounts negligible to humans’ health [3].
* You will not even be able to obtain these anywhere in the world even with a prescription.
* All advice on nutrition (including written online or journal articles or oral advice to a friend, family member or anyone) will be illegal. This includes naturalnews.com reports on vitamins and minerals and all nutritionist’s consultations.
* All dairy cows are to be treated with Monsanto’s recombinant bovine growth hormone.
* All animals used for food are to be treated with potent antibiotics and exogenous growth hormones.
* The reintroduction of deadly and carcinogenic organic pesticides that in 1991, 176 countries (including the U.S.) have banned worldwide including 7 of the 12 worst at the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pesticides (e.g., Hexachlorobenzene, Toxaphene, and Aldrin) will be allowed back into food at elevated levels [4].
* Mandatory use of growth hormones and antibiotics on all food herds, fish and flocks
* Worldwide implementation of unlabeled GMOs into crops, animals, fish and trees.
* Elevated levels of residue from pesticides and insecticides that are toxic to humans and animals.
Some examples of potential permissible safe levels of nutrients under Codex include [2]:
* Niacin - upper limits of 34 mcg daily (effective daily doses include 2000 to 3000 mcgs).
* Vitamin C - upper limits of 65 to 225 mcg daily (effective daily doses include 6000 to 10000 mcgs).
* Vitamin D - upper limits of 5 μg daily (effective daily doses include 6000 to 10000 μg).
He also ought to care because poor black communities could be a first target in any cut off of food.
Reach Conyers. Stop that bill.
