Monsantos Dream Bill Returns to Block GMO Labeling ForeverHeather Callaghan Although sponsored by Rep. Pompeo, HR 1599 is the delight of the Grocers Manufacturers Association (GMA) which supports corporations like Monsanto, Nestl and Dow et al. The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2014 fizzled out last year, but the GMA worked to get it introduced in the current Congress. Weston A. Price Foundation calls it Monsantos dream bill because it would allow big corporations that make and use GMOs to continue to hide them from consumers, keeping Americans in the dark about what is in their food. At the federal level.forever. Readers have expressed differing opinions on the politics of labeling and how it should be handled. Really, you should know this one thing: once the door shuts on labeling it remains shut forever. Thats the goal. You wont ever be able to assume that you know what youre eating again or be able to reasonably assume in the future that you can avoid GMOs. Remember that there are many more GE products in the pipeline, ready to populate the Earth, whether theres a market for them or not. In other words, by force and by fraud. HR 1599 is simply closing the door on state-level solutions that consumers turned to because of FDA absurdity. It pretends to help with safety and accuracy by using a hollow voluntary labeling scheme. Then it turns around and forces natural farmers to label their products non-GMO at their expense through a USDA program. Does that make any kind of sense to you?? Weston A. Price Foundation cautions (emphasis mine): Voluntary Labeling is a Proven Failure While we usually support voluntary programs over mandatory programs, when it comes to GMOs, this is the wrong approach. There has already been voluntary labeling for the last 13 years and not one company has voluntarily labeled its products as containing GMOs. As long as Americans dont realize that GMOs are in their food, theyll keep buying these companies products. This isnt how the free market is supposed to work this is essentially fraud! This is a ridiculous point in time for America with whats left of its consumer-driven economy to have to pull teeth and beg to know whats in their food. It is akin to begging food companies to stop lacing your childrens oatmeal with lead and asking repeatedly for the privilege of a label a compromise if there ever was one. Since the GMA and GMO corporations know that labeling could mean the lack of purchase, this bill will assure that you have no choice. No recourse.
