Vice President Biden: Food Safety Working Group Key Findings

[william0873]

Anyone that actually cares if what they consume is safe, they should watch "Food Inc" and research aspartame, monosodium glutamate,fluoride and some of the other so called "safe" things the FDA lets in your food that most people eat every day. Do that, then you'll realize how little the FDA and the USDA cares about the people. After watching food inc I started moving in a direction to produce my own food instead or trusting feds to keep me safe

[RandyBful1]

'happosai21'; I guess you don't know that Monsanto helped to create the first atomic bomb! Also, they manufactured "Agent Orange", killed many people with their PCB's over the decades and so on...They are destroying the planet and the people and people NEED to snap out of their obliviousness and realize that governments, FDA, Health Canada, etc. don't give a rats ass about the people - only PROFIT!

[RandyBful1]

What a bunch of Bullshit! Nice side-step. You will never be told how evil the MONSANTO corp is. GMO's, HFCS, hydrogenated fats, mono and diglycerides and other poisons that are in 80% of our food supply (at least), are killing us! Heart disease, diabetes type II, cancer and other illnesses are all on the rise and it's all because of greedy corporations and governments. Screw them all!!!

[SCO801]

We know why e-coli is a threat; companies who work their people to the bone, drag their beef through the [feces] and don't worry about [us] getting sick. Why are you vague on how they are going to track. There are bills to track every animal from small NEIGHBOR farms but only 1 in 85 animals in an agribusiness. Let me buy my food locally; I know my neighbors practices. STOP regulating small farms out of existence; start enforcing with agribusinesses.

[nohealthcare62]

Thank You Vice Biden I dont want to eat Rat Baked peanut butter crackers and WalMart is still selling the Crackers ...Look @ how Much IMPORTED FOOD WalMart Sells FISH that is from CHINA ! What about supporting our ALASKIAN FISHERMAN ??????? BOYCOTT WALMART PLEASE ?

[Troublesome1776]

Too much government expansion as it is. The U.S. Constitution CLEARLY prohibits government expansion yet since 9/11 you people have been doing the exact opposite. You are trying to replace the Constitution with the Patriot Act so you can control everybody.

[Troublesome1776]

We will not submit to government control over our food supply. No fucking way. At this point it's pretty unanimous that you have a clear FUCK NO from "We The People".

[jettbugg]

....ANOTHER Power grab / Money Grab and that seems to be the ONLY thing this band of thieves can do....unchallenged! Start worrying when this govt. wants to control our food, they did not stop with financial, banks, industry...and now the food!

....These are LIARS!

[TheWorldOvercom3]

Look at Joe the Rat's face & tell me he isn't a gangster LOL

Are you working closely with top science & technology advisor John Holdren who co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a planetary regime that would use a global police force to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, incl forced abortions, MASS STERILIZATION PROGRAMMES CONDUCTED VIA THE FOOD & WATER SUPPLY as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children?

[FlyLikeAnEagle2012]

My fault. The name of the video is "The World According to Monsanto".

[TheWorldOvercom3]

that's a MUST WATCH FILM. Monsanto executives NEVER eat their own GM foods. None of the elite do, from the bottom tier (political whores) up. In the UK they introduced this Masonic Must-Be but ensured Parliament went nowhere near this filth that bioengineers its consumer & is LETHAL in the medium - long term

Monsanto & Washington is a revolving door. Now a Monsanto exec, now a top politico, then back to Monsanto. Corporatism = Fascism (acc to Mussolini

Gangsters & Whores. PUT THEM IN JAIL

[FlyLikeAnEagle2012]

People please read about Codex Alimentarius and watch "The Truth About Monsanto".

NO GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER OUR FOOD SUPPLY. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

[GreenRaccon]

nice qualyty

[TurdBlossom95]

great job

[sisforshayla]

Don't let Mike Taylor be appointed to head the Food Safety Working Group!! He's a former Monsanto vice president, and he thinks the FDA wastes too much time on food safety inspections at meat packing plants! And also that their line speed is too slow, even though incomplete kills before slaughter and worker injuries increase dramatically when line speeds increase. No Mike Taylor!!

[mooseythejuiceman]

Trust politicians with my food? Badee badee... no thanks.

[kitty6902]

Food companies needs someone to oversee them and the products they produce. They have already proven that left to their own devices they tend to focus on profit rather than quality, health, or safety.

[danceatlantis]

Another great initiative from the Obama Administration!

Europeans refuse to import any American food because of its contamination with hormones, pesticides blacklisted in Europe and genetically manipulated products.

[groundhog2008]

On another video it was said that Healthcare was the number one priority? Dont get me wrong, I, and everyone I talk to, all love what President Obama is doing! One more piece of legislation needs to be passed. The "Fairness Doctrine"!! Everyone is tired of talk radio bombarding us with anti-American talk against Cap and Trade, and bashing the good that our government is doing. How about forcing equal time for Democrats to respond??

[frbjeffj]

Biden's such an embarassment... god..

[danceatlantis]

Please put your pic on the net so we can laugh at you.

[ProsperiaFan]

in DEC ? guess this .. Why does a U.N. (all about money) TRADE organization Want total control over the food sales/standards of the world?

[kitty6902]

Because we live in a global market that not only sees our food being sent to other countries, but also food from all over the world ending up in our country as well.

[ProsperiaFan]

Why is it not a NON - Trade division? If its only about health and not Commerce? And what is the UN intention of the Codex? Force Mass industry people to use banned unsafe contaminates as a standard?

[kitty6902]

Not familiar enough with the policies to answer those questions but I'm sure they are out there. Will look later. I would hope that it would actually remove the use of banned contaminates across the board. The problem is that standards are different in all of the world's markets and when you combine them into a global market, there needs to be a global standard that applies to everyone.

[EliasCrowe]

Phonies and Cronies .

[nohealthcare62]

You Got that right ! GE and WALMART are ZIONIST .Go to Walmart and you will see all the zionist own companies ..They got rid of ALL Other Companies GOODS ..GE is the REASON KUCINICH was BANNED from the NEVADA DEBATES with OBAMA ! Because KUCINICH would of WON HANDS DOWN + OPRAH BLACKLISTED EVERYONE WHO DIDNT SUPPORT OBAMA ..Oprah can Make or Break a Person any person she wants to ..Never forget How she NEVER MENTIONS JESUS CHRIST NEVER EVER !!! She is a ZIONIST supporter WAKE UP AMERICA !

[groundhog2008]

Woe, you might be right, but we all love Oprah!! The greatest thing she did was introduce Barack Obama to America!! He is fixing all the things that didnt get fixed during the previous repub administration!! I never hear anything bad about Obama, except on talk radio Fox News, and YouTube. Obama has lots to do yet, the repubs have left things in a mess!! I hope we can get Social Security fixed before it is too late!!

[golcynski]

Your obama gave 10 Trillion to the bankers, and then he told you your grandchildren will have to pay that back, yet you still see him as the Messiah.

Left, Right, white, black doesn't matter because Obama sides with the Rich and Powerful,

[user160679]

I wanna say, if you are eating GE products you or your babies will be sterile. This is rule of new world orders. Just population reduction, no more. God damn Monsanta, jews and their system. Break the rules, Freedom!

[jaleyna]

stop monsanto.

[happosai21]

stop monsanto?? o.o oh no.. you criticise monsanto so you must be some backward antisemite terrorist who hates progress and wants people starve to death. we need to ban private gardens, small farmers and everyone who doesn't uses monsanto.

lol just kidding xP thats what the goverment would say i bet. not openly for sure tho. i think they should ban all chemical bs and genetic changed plants. its the most dreadful thing that even happend to mankind since the invention of the nuke in my opinion

[ashutten]

Inoerait? We should only eat nonmodified vegetables, aka ones that were never selectively bred by farmers over thousands and thousands of years to actually be edible. Actually, let's take it a step beyond that and only eat grass from the savannah where humans started out. Let's ignore the fact that GE vegetables don't eat babies and grow legs and such. I'm all for freedom of speech but cmon, this is just another conspiracy theory bit and falls in with the "obama is a terrorist" insanity.

[nohealthcare62]

TRUTH is STRANGER than FICTION ! BAYER co EXPERIMENTED ON JEWS Babies during the HITLER YEARS ! Bayer is ANOTHER Zionist Co. I buy St.Jose Asprins I BOYCOTT Everything ZIONISTS !Learn and Be Blessed by GOD ..GOD DIVORCED ISRAEL over 2000 yrs ago ! Its Not COOL to Love Jews ....

[happosai21]

i agree 100% yea hes no terrorist but a really symphatic zionist bankster puppet with a big smile. the speeched infront of aipac would have been considered high treason by the founding fathers o.o and he filled his goverment with the same of kind of people once more. i mean.. rahm emmanuel as chief of staff? wtf.. dual citizenship israeli and former IDF member where he was known as "ruthless bulldog with mafia tendencies" and everyone is ok with that? seems more like a israeli occupation gov.

[bootyjudie]

Like I was saying before, Its about time we all eat healthier food. I got tired of eating poisonous crap they've been trying to feed us for years. Ive been eating organic for 9 months now & Ive noticed several really big differences. More energy, sharper senses, higher awareness, tastes better, cleaner, more pure, havnt gotten ill, feel lighter, bad medical conditions are healing, just feel better in general. Thank you all involved in making positive changes happen. I love you. Peace & Love!

[YankeeGlacier]

Vilsack and Sebelius are great. This should be a top priority. So no more sick & mostly dead cows being dragged out of a pile of feces into burger grinder? "downed cows" videos were the biggest thing since Sinclair on beef

[YankeeGlacier]

8:00 what, no pork on the 4th?  Pig lobby gonna be pissed

[mercenarybdu]

I still have my doubts about effectiveness of what they will do best for all of the supplies of food

[vivre909]

One thing that hit me was that both the President and VP always smile.

Wtf?

[evanology06]

they're not supposed to smile? Hmm....this seems like a national security problem. lol Smiling politicians!! Oh no....

[vivre909]

lol

[airdreamlove]

*speech

[HAJS5]

I'm sick of all these ignorant trolls or just sheep being so negative towards Obama because Bush(McCain) didn't win again. You say socialism like people said communism in the 50's you obviously don't understand the benefits of it and are just appalled by a different way of government, even if it is still a democracy and better for not only the majority of the people, but every person. Go to Cuba or go to France and then tell me socialism is bad.

[airdreamlove]

Hold on a second,

THIS IS SOCIALISM!

[airdreamlove]

This food saftey bill is going to further dumb down future generations to the point where they have to rely on the government to make sure that their food is safe.

That's bad, because that's too much power for one group to have.

[HAJS5]

so it's the kid's fault for dieing from eating a pb&j sandwhich with poisons in the peanut butter from a manufacturing error w/o the company realizing this until after a month of it already being shipped to stores?

[airdreamlove]

Of coarse it's not his fault, doofus, it's the manufacturer's fault.

[HAJS5]

I know -_- I was replying to someone saying that stopping stuff like that from happening is "evil socialism"

[airdreamlove]

I never claimed socialism was evil, in fact, I would embrace socialism if humanity wasn't inherently evil by nature.

[HAJS5]

-_- you forget that there are many cases when socialism was used and it turned out better for everyone. Like in many industrialized countries, and we were already socialist, we have libraries,police,firemen,publi­c schools, and public free gatherings and events paid for by our tax dollars, now if we didn't spend 20% of our taxes on making bigger and shinier toys for the guys up top we'd have even more free things, like universal healthcare.

[airdreamlove]

I agree to disagree with you.

Time will tell who is wrong and who is right.

[HAJS5]

kk :D

[HAJS5]

It is true there will always be someone who abuses a right, but through studies from professionals, they have found the good people outweigh the damage caused by those who abuse their rights, in nearly every case.

[airdreamlove]

Please cite your resource on this study, that would make my day.

[HAJS5]

Why don't you watch Sicko :)

[airdreamlove]

This was a speach, not a scientific study on if good deeds outweigh bad deeds or not.

[HAJS5]

wait...what?

[airdreamlove]

It's much easier to destroy than create.

[HAJS5]

lol I really hope you're being a troll

[BeautyOfWar]

obama/biden = big mistake

i see some of you are finally realizing it. a bit too late now though.

sigh

[HAJS5]

You're a fucking idiot, there are so many people that are against these two when they've only helped this country. Give me one reason why they are so fucking terrible?

[jettbugg]

....Yet another money and freedom grab! Safe food comes from America, and the imported foods usually contaminate US! Borders- Language- Culture! Dump the marxists!!

[reevaluate2008]

1 star

[hattrick30480]

how about instead of making laws about food safety, make laws about food regulators. The problem isn't the laws, its the inspector themselves. Not really checking the food, and taking bribes, food inspectors get bribed all the time in restaurant kitchens, i should know, i worked in one.

[kaiser0soze]

People, please watch YouTube video "THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO" and you will understand what I'm talking about. These people are sick.

[kaiser0soze]

Oh, and speaking of "food safety", MONSANTO needs to be shut down for pumping GMOs, other hazardous chemicals, and hybrid seeds into our food supply.

I noticed MONSANTO is only making life difficult for local farmers in areas where the people's skin color is dark?

MONSANTO is not pumping GMOs into Switzerland, Ireland, Germany, England, or and other caucasoid nations. That's not a coincidence and this company needs tp be shut the fuck down.

[lordennis01]

As to Monsanto, they were also involved in a scandal with fox with bovine horomones in milk, an insteresting case if you look at it.

[kaiser0soze]

I saw that story. FOX is for shit.

[kaiser0soze]

Excuse the typos in my initial post. I'm fucking tired of these people's shit and their mission to control everything and everybody. Every communist government has control over their nation's food supply. Our government does not work for us, they have a buddy system with big corporations.

I don't buy any of their products, and like somebody already said, if more and more consumers stopped buying their polluted products that would hit them harder than telling the government.

[crispedfuture]

I love my FLUORIDE, GMO FOODS that make me infertile, ASPARTAME =poison, and everything else the US government approves.

In Uncle Scam I trust.

[ImaSumac4ever]

ha! Uncle Scam... that's funny!

[EricIndiana]

Im just sick of the Roman Catholics pushing for this sort of thing.

This and the Pope calling on a New World Economic Order?

Lets globalize health care too.

Globalize control of the Internet.

Revamp the UN and make it the Global police force of the world.

Is there anything they dont want globalized?

[EricIndiana]

Joe Biden - Zionist Roman Catholic

Kathleen Sebelius - CFR+Bilderberg Roman Catholic

Tom Vilsack - Roman Catholic

[nohealthcare62]

I do not want RAT BAKED PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS ~! Reagn FIRED all Federal Inspectors ! Beware of Plants that HIRE illegals bring in New HEP Viruses and give them to U and Me ! USA hasnt never seen so many NEW HEP VIRUSES Before and PARASITE INFECTIONS in Peoples Brains ! Thank a illegal for this ..CDC sayd they never seen anything like this before so many WHite People with PARASITES ....whats for Dinner YOU ?

[kaiser0soze]

Why isn't fluoride banned from our toothpaste or our water supply? Fluoride is used in rat poison, Prozac, and it was used by the Nazis to sedate Jewish prisoners and keep them under calm submission.

Also, fluoride crystallizes in the pineal gland (or "the third eye"). This disconnects humans from communicating with the Universe to reach our higher consciousness and attaining TRUE freedom.

[SpilledToxic]

waste of money. they also need a law against selling expired food.

[kaiser0soze]

Codex Alimentarius, HR 2749, and other attempts to control our food supply is bullshit.

AND DON'T USE THAT FAKE "SWINE FLU" PANDEMIC TO JUSTIFY CONTROLLING OUR FOOD SUPPLY. MORE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP AND SEE THROUGH THE SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

[kaiser0soze]

I do not agree with having government control over our food supply.

[Smartass8504]

Maybe we should worry about the way so much of our foods are genetically altered. Or maybe it would be a good idea to not always use tons of preservatives.

[justplayman]

1. I strongly disagree with this tactic

[FreedomsReigning]

Sounds like the government is ratcheting up the fear mongering to take further control of the food supply.

Bye bye home garden, and livestock. You may hurt yourself by growing bad food, or sharing it.

[zndprophet]

always "the government".

like the people who make the food care about us.

yeah right. they just want to make it addictive so we spend more money on it. someone has to keep an eye on them. now whose job would that be?

[LibertyOrBust]

Why do you assume "the government" cares about us? Look at our current government subsidized unhealthy empty calorie, cancer causing food supply.... look at the defense of GMO's from government.... "Food Saftey" is just another con job to defend the status quo in the food supply.... that is to keep the tide from turing any more toward healthy changes.

No need to fear though, the government will lose this as long as consumers continue to change their habits.

[zndprophet]

The government doesn't care about us because they love us-they care about us because if they piss us off too much-they will lose power.

Why do you think big business cares about us? They have no one to answer to. No one ever blames them. We look at them last. They have it made.

[LibertyOrBust]

"Big Business" has no one to answer to? How does a business stay in business but by satisfying the consumer?

Everyone always blames business for everything... aka "capitalism".... which is what drives the corporate state, willingness of people to increase gov't power, as a protection racket for the very big businesses you want "watched" under the guise of saftey, security, freedon etc...

Is this really so difficult to see?

[FlyLikeAnEagle2012]

Well instead of companies being reported to the government when they pollute our food supply, the only thing we as consumers need to do is stop buying their shit. Don't buy anymore of their products. That will hit them way harder than reporting them to the government.

[LibertyOrBust]

Indeed. I've changed my diet over the past year or so as I began to understand a diet of processed food, saturated fat and sugar was probably not so good :-) A nice side benefit is knowing my money is now going to strengthen producers of good, healthy food and not the likes of fast food, wonder bread etc...

[FreedomsReigning]

Mission successful. I am very addicted to food. I am such a fiend I even cultivate my own.

Read history my friend. It is a common occurrence for a totalitarian regime to take control of the food supply. (Lyndon LaRouche) - "Obama is a self aware Nazi"

watch?v=QXEZSTQwGh8&eur

I'll worry about my food and you worry about yours, and we can call it good.

[zen481]

If you really cared about our health you would put a stop on genetically modified foods.

[lildwayne21]

Food safety should be one of the last things we should have to worry about in these troubling times. Come on Washington, get it together.

[wayne388]

Well, remember the problem with salmonella-infected peanuts some months ago and salmonella-infected spinach some years ago? Food safety is no frivolous luxury, it saves lives.

[TheNightmany]

pardon? I didn't understand!

[BabybooR33]

what a scam to control/poison our food... someone plz fire these bafoons !!!!

[redspade04]

if youre going to start thinking about our health, please stop putting fluoride in our food in water

[SpilledToxic]

Fluoride is far from the worst of the many harmful things they put in our everyday products, theres a giant list. Just research the ingredients on the products you buy. For example they put BHT and BHA in our meat.

[redspade04]

haha, i know. im about to quit eating meat and growing my own food cause most of the stuff they are introducing causes cancer and with 714x being illegal here and me being poor, i cant afford to go to another country to get it if i get cancer nor even buy the plain ticket.

[maxtotherescue]

It's cool for Obama to go on dates. The older daughter can babysit the younger daughter, and the younger daughter can babysit Joe Biden. :D

OBAMAFTW!

[Bubba186]

time to hire and train people as inspectors, we obviously have more to do than we can handle with our current workforce.
