Codex Alimentarius

I really do believe that there is a group of people with a lot of power trying to poison the masses as much as possible, while making a ton of money. I'm waiting for the day when growing your own food becomes a crime.

That might be why all this "e coli in the cabbage" type stuff keeps popping up besides the fact that farmers will use sewage sludge to fertilize their fields rather then pay through the nose for fertilizer.

Thanks as my hardrive crashed and I need to build up my "you wont believe this s***" links again

Allow me to "go off" please...C$#% sucking mother&%^$%@#$ bastards - evil f****** bastards and I dont even believe in good and evil but for them I keep this reservation - motherf%#$%#% c@$#%$^$%^& bastards and the C#%$% who love their money. Doctors, lawyers and the f****** mortician man.

Okay - I feel better now Not really. I asked my neurologist who was trying to figure out why I was having cluster migraines if I could have Zanax because I "knew" it would help me sleep. He said "thats seriously addictive - here take this zoloft".

Zoloft made me give a f*** about nothing and who knows what it was doing otherwise. Liars and thieves... People think Pot is bad for them...hmmmmmYet there is a THC receptor site in just about every square inch of the human body.

If/when I ever become seriously ill I will deal with it myself and die if that is the only alternative to giving my life over to some doctor who could give a shit less about my health. Fight children - fight while you still can.

Yo, NEOPO: Pot works for cluster headaches. A close friend of mine was having them so badly he'd get muscle tetany, and no amount of anything else including codiene would work. But two puffs of marijuana in the middle of one of those attacks, and he was fine in less than a minute. No more cluster headaches. If you're in California get a prescription. If not, take your chances anyway, anything is better than that kind of pain.

As for licenses to grow one's own food: another battle in the "war against subsistence," where the powers-that-be would rather we all be working in little cubicles.

I gotta phone call, gotta' scoot....

"... people with ALOT of power..." , alot is a very subjective term, alot of power in terms of the federal government or corporate types in bed with the federal government means that if they wanted to poison large numbers of people , they could and it would have happened already and would be happening again and again and again. Don't you know they run the show and us peon's are just here for entertainment and slave labor? beside's , why does the life expectancy keep going up if they're slipping arsenic into our fruitloops every time we look the other way?

In one study, potatoes engineered to contain an insect-repelling gene to improve agricultural yield caused intestinal damage in the test subjects--some lab mice. While the mice did not die from eating the genetically modified food, lesions that formed in their digestive tracts gave researchers pause enough to recommend more thorough testing of the “transgenic potatoes” before marketing them to humans.

In another study, mice were fed so-called “Flavr Savr” Tomatoes--tomatoes developed in the early 90s by Calgene that were “optimized for flavor retention.” Similar lesions arose in the intestines of the mice, causing reviewers from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to conclude that “the data fall short of ‘a demonstration of safety,'” adding, “unresolved questions still remain.” Yet later, yielding to the pressure of industry lobbyists, the FDA not only approved the Flavr Savr for mass human consumption, but also claimed that all safety issues had been satisfactorily resolved.
According to Belinda Martineau, a Calgene researcher who later published the tell-all book, First Fruit: The Creation of the Flavr Savr Tomato and the Birth of Biotech Foods , when the Flavr Savr hit store shelves consumers were not particularly impressed with its taste. Also, farmers were coping with disease problems and low yields, the very problems the technology sought to address in the first place. Eventually the FlavrSavr -- or “Franken tomato,” as some cynics dubbed it -- was abandoned altogether.

Europe Against Genetically Modified Foods, U.S. Uncertain
[The FlavrSavr] legacy lives on, however. Many environmental advocates feel that the FDA’s nod on the Flavr Savr set the bar particularly low for approval of other genetically modified foods that may or may not cause health problems. Further, it remains to be seen what effects these hybridized species might have on the environment at large, reason enough to delay the mass release of genetically modified foods into the market until more is known.

Meanwhile, European countries have remained steadfast against allowing genetically modified crops to be grown on their own farms for fear of widespread environmental contamination. And whether or not to allow genetically modified food imports into Europe is a matter of great debate right now within the European Union.
