Dear NaturalNews readers,
This is it -- it's our last chance to halt S.510, the proposed "Food Tyranny Act" that would hand over new powers to the FDA to regulate and criminalize raw milk, food farming and seed saving.
S 510 is to the U.S. food supply what the Patriot Act is to the Bill of Rights.
Watch my urgent call-to-action video (5 minutes) right here:

Read my call-to-action article at:

Share these with your friends so they may join our grassroots opposition to food tyranny by calling our U.S. Senators today, before 5PM Eastern time.
The U.S. Capitol switchboard phone number is 202-224-3121. Call that number and ask for the office of each of your Senators. Then voice your opinion to your Senators to oppose S.510.
Every call counts! Senators know that each call represents about 50,000 people. So call them now right now and join our grassroots opposition to this food tyranny bill that would put the FDA in charge of our farms!
(P.S. To all those NaturalNews readers outside the USA, thanks for putting up with all this domestic nonsense here in the USA. We will return to more traditional news coverage as soon as this S 510 saga is concluded...)
Natural News doesn't know what they are talking about on this one. It doesn't have anything to do with GMOs. In fact it explicitly protects organic standards (which means no to GMOs)!
ReplyDeleteHi Michael,
ReplyDeletehttp://laughterandliberty.com/senate-bill-s510-explained-sort-of/
Look at the above site/post..it doesn't make growing veggies illegal but to sell veggies you would have to be traceable or you would be arrested/fined...and to be traceable you would need to give 50% of your profits to the gov't. This kind of thing would kill small organic farmers and let the big farms and agri business take over hello Monsanto...GMO and all. Read up on it more. It is not ALL in the bill necessarily..but it is the impending consequences. Thanks for commenting!
Large portions of Europe have already succeeded in removing GM foods from their food supply, forcing food manufacturers to use real ingredients in their European product lines. But here in the United States we’re still stuck with it to a very large degree.
ReplyDeleteIt all starts with you and the choices you make when buying your food. So please spread the word. If more of us begin to refuse GM foods, food manufacturers will have no choice but to listen.
