The "food safety" bills in Congress were written by Monsanto, Cargill, Tysons, ADM, etc. All are associated with the opposite of food safety. What is this all about then?

Next they'll make it impossible to give away garden produce and sue you for using their seeds that blew into your yard from next door.

We all need to contact Moveon.org to get behind stopping these bills.

Good idea Chris - Moveon does get things going. Let write to them. This is one of the best article about this topic I have read. Thanks Molly.
We all need to support our local farmers, and tell these giant companies and their lobbies to get out of our lives. Like that would happen, every elected official is in bed with them.
