HR 875 (known as “Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009”) is a US bill presently being pushed through congress that will make Organic, and Family Farms, as well as back yard gardening of vegetables, Illegal. This is to control all the food U.S. citizens have to buy and eat. Americans would essentially be forced to only eat corporately manufactured, chemically treated, hermetically sealed, irradiated fruits and vegetables.

RMD,
Back yard vegetables will be fine... as long as you don't try to sell them.
Congratulations. You are experiencing the propoganda backlash from very, very profitable large food corporations that do not want to be bothered by safety regulations. Much the same as very, very profitable healthcare corporations do not want to be bothered with new healthcare regulations. So they are bombarding the gullible masses with scary BS to thwart it all. And it is working. It always does and I suppose it always will.
We, the people, are apparently miserable at, and incapable of, governing ourselves ...because that would be evil government interference ...interference from we, the people ...who are the government. We are obviously much better off being ruled, I mean governed, by brilliant deregulated corporations and their lobbyists. So all the protection of the populace from overeager, shrewd, well-funded predators doesn't work ...and citizens deserve what they get ...the nice warm fake impression that they've won, after it all blows over. But, relax,
it's not a conspiracy. It's more of a coalition. There's a difference. But not hardly much.

Mike,
The Committee of 300 does not seem dangerous to me either. Good guys, actually...
