April 12, 2009, 2:40pm (report abuse)Why can't we enforce the bills already on the books for public safety instead of creating more bills. If the bills already on the books were enforced, we could have sent lots of things back to China. They have sent toys for our children with lead paint on them, they have sent poisoned formula, contaninated foods. I have not heard of any local farmers markets selling contaminated foods. This would save money instead of creating more and more committees to spend taxpayer money.

This will put the few remaining family farms out of business. If you're worried about your food, buy locally. Be afraid... be very afraid of government control! Oppose this bill.

May 9, 2009, 12:11am (report abuse)The latest food Bills will make the fees, fines, methods used, and the testing processes so outrageously expensive that the only people who can be approved and stay approved are industrial farms and GMO companies. Nobody else will be able to afford to go through the rigorous processes that you have to go through to get and keep a product on the approved list. The pesticides and fertilizers are already on the “approved” list. See how this works?

The globalization and "harmonizing" of the United States food and drug laws will increase the market share of those responsible for recent "food safety" issues and drive many small farms out of business.

June 17, 2009, 6:44pm (report abuse)This bill is an assignation of the right to liberty and freedom that this country was founded on. It is depressing to know that the Washington Gang is on this together to snuff out the small farmer's livelihood and the people around them who depend on good quality food. Today, they control your food; tomorrow, THEY CONTROL YOU. OPPOSE THIS BILL for the sake of our future generations.
