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!

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

'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!

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!!!

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.

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".
