Here's to home grown eggs from free range chickens. Enjoy them while you can, because you can bet the APHIS livestock surveillence agenda will be furthered by this sort of thing, in which EVERY chick, calf, lamb, cow, goat, etc. will have be chipped and careful records kept to where if even a chicken leaves the property (say it escapes the pen) you will have to fill out cumbersome paperwork or face big fines. You will need the $1,000+ scanner and RFID tags and chips to keep your livestock. Kletos, Eklektos & Pistos |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 999262 United States 08/25/2010 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I quit eating raw egg smoothies twenty years ago because it was common knowledge the risk you were taking ... same with raw oysters ... even before the spill they often killed people before they could get to the hospital ... I find it hard to believe that the fact that chickens and eggs carry salmonella isn't common knowledge ... is there something that we don't grasp when the label says "Cook before eating?" ... in most instances, salmonella can live in the human body unrecognized (as lower back pain in the AM for about a half an hour) for years ... decades. If your immune system is up to par, it will keep it from overwhelming your systems ... but if it is stressed it won't have the energy to get rid of it,... just keep it at bay (hopefully) I bet 25% of americans have salmonella ... and yes, I see how that could be used for the next level of regulation ... no doubt, because that is all most americans can afford anymore, they'll do something to make it cost more . For some reason they don't want us eating chickens and eggs ... could it be because they are so good for us? Is that why they started putting arsenic in their food? so what, the beef has ecoli in it ... and mad cow, but people still eat it "rare" ... a nice word for raw. did you know that cold water also kills both of these germs... I'd be more worried about botulism in the canned beans and tomatoes ... and they all but told us about the poison they are putting into can linners ... bottom line, grow yer own. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1043058 United States 09/01/2010 12:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Got this email from campaignforliberty.com August 31, 2010 Dear Friend of Liberty, Power-hungry statists are never satisfied. Now they’re attempting to use a massive egg recall to shove S. 510, the so-called "Food Safety Modernization Act," down our throats. S. 510, through a patchwork of rules and regulations on the food "industry," will throw America’s heartland under the government-subsidized corporatist bus as it crushes local and community producers of healthy food. Click here to contact your senators today to tell them to oppose S.510! Like Cap and Tax, which will guarantee higher energy bills during these rough economic times, S. 510 will further drive up the costs of living by adding more layers of bureaucracy on food production – ensuring you pay more to meet an essential need. Congress certainly won’t be the one tightening its belt. Section 401 of S. 510 authorizes nearly $1 billion to grow the FDA’s reach and calls for almost 4,000 new bureaucrats to be hired in fiscal year 2010 alone. This onerous new law will apply harshly to reputable food producers like the independent family farm, where the free market works every day to provide the public with healthy choices. Meanwhile, Big Agriculture will continue to use its well-entrenched connections to make sure it escapes serious scrutiny. The statists have worked to replace "credible evidence" with "reasonable probability" in the U.S. Code, giving the FDA power to invade, quarantine, or shut down private property in search of any foodborne illness. They also changed "presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals" to "is adulterated or misbranded." What exactly constitutes adulterated? That glass of raw milk? An FDA bureaucrat will decide. It gets worse. The bill also grants blanket authority for federal agencies to impose international guidelines and standards on domestic food producers - giving agencies authority to harmonize all American food production and processes in line with the globalist Codex. It should be noted that Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Judd Gregg (R-NH), Chris Dodd (D-CT), and Richard Burr (R-NC) coordinated to reach a "bipartisan" agreement to forge ahead with the otherwise stalled bill. If you are a constituent of any of these senators, they especially need to hear from you. Big Brother and Big Agriculture are combating the truly modern way to improve food safety by targeting the rapidly growing number of food producers who, through the free market, provide diversity and give us choices. The establishment is pushing for more consolidation and is looking to control your food choices to make it happen. Don’t stomach another round of tyranny. Contact your senators today. In Liberty, John Tate President |
