Interesting, the author makes quite a few claims about what this bill does, including what it does to seeds, making it illegal to own, plant, seed, etc.

Well, read the actual text of the bill, fully available here: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s510/text

Now, do me, and yourself, a favor. Open the entire text of the bill in your web browser, press CTRL+F, and type in “seed”. Let me know how many times the word “seed” appears in that bill.

I’ll save you the time. 0. Zero. The bill does not contain the word seed. At all.

The author of this article is a liar, plain and simple.

There must be an amount of personal responsibility taken by every American to pay attention to what they consume. More regulations will not fix these issues any more than more regulations “fixed” Katrina victims, the oil spill, the bank bailouts, etc.. Common sense on the part of the individual MUST be stressed in our childrens education, NOT reliance on a goverment to tell us when its safe to cross the road, or buy milk from a shady establishment. Our grandparents would be ashamed, and I suggest that if you still have grandparents, that you ask their opinion.

I for one am appalled that 5000 Americans die every year from eating contaminated food. If a government agency takes reasonable measures to reduce that number, I support it wholeheartedly. I believe S-510 is a reasonable measure.

Um, I assume that everyone read the part where it says, “Declares that a facility under the FFDCA does not include private residences of individuals.”
When reading legal documents, it always helps to look at the part where they define what they are talking about.

I guess I’ll be going to jail or prison or whatever comes first, when someone comes along and tells me I can’t grow fruit and vegetables from my own garden. Its a hell of alot safer then whats coming from farm growers around the world. Hell will freeze over before I commit to this S510 bill. By the way I consume what I grow, I don’t sell my food. Government wants to control every aspects of our lives.

Anyone else think that maybe this bill has more to do with the marijuana? Once its is made legal in California and so on which will happen within the decade all of these regulations will be needed in order to prevent people from growing the plant in their backyard and opening up a roadside shop selling the stuff. As well as preventing foriegn countries from importing their cheaper grown, cheaper sold marijuana.

In section 201 and 202 try saying marijuana facility rather than food facility and substituting the word marijuana for the word food throughout the rest of the article. I think this is a bill regulating marijuana growth and importation under the words “crop” and “food”, which it will be considered once it is made legal.

Its also a bill which is setting up an emergency recall program in case of a mass poisoning.

It is also a bill regulating (including) small farms as well as the big farms.

There is nothing in this bill stating that you will not be able to grow a home garden for your own personal consumption. That garden includes whatever vegetables and herbs including marijuana.

They need to have some sort of regulations so that we dont have every joeblow out there peddling their homegrown marijuana on every street corner.

Think about it before you go be”lie”ving people…
