The forces of greed keep food safe an healthy. If a greedy capitalist sells bad food they lose customer, lose money, and go out of business.

You who seek to rule on the other hand lose nothing if thousands die. The real danger to the food supply is allowing lazy, corrupt and indifferent apparatchiks control.

The forces greed will just as often drive short term profit while ignoring long term consequences

We all know how good capitalist are at policing themselves. Think about how many cars with known deadly defects were allowed to stay on the road. Remember the subprime mortgage debacle caused by deregulation of the banks.

20 percent of baby food tested positive for LEAD, reveals ten-year study

Research gathered over a period of ten years has shown that 20 percent of baby food is contaminated with lead. As you may know, the CDC reports that there is no safe level of lead exposure for children, least of all infants. The report comes from a nonprofit organization known as the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).

EDF’s Tim Neltner, who authored this mind-blowing report, commented, “The levels we found were relatively low, but when you add them up — with all the foods children eat … it’s significant.”

Together with his colleagues, Neltner evaluated data collected from the FDA between 2003 and 2013. All told, 2,164 baby food samples were analyzed. Their findings were shocking and disheartening. A staggering 89 percent of grape juice samples tested positive for lead, and another 86 percent of baby food sweet potatoes and 47 percent of teething biscuits also contained detectable amounts of lead. Apple juice, carrots and arrowroot cookies also tested positive for lead more often than other foods. You can download the full report here.

That would be stupidity, not greed. Those who seek to enrich themselves must offer value or go out of business.

Cars which are regulated by our rulers through the DOT, banks which are not only regulated by our rulers but protected from the repercussions of their folly. "Too Big to Fail" is the cry of our lords and Kings in the all powerful state you worship.

The banks cannot be allowed to pay the consequence of their actions the way little people do, I mean Goldman-Sachs gave 10's of millions of dollars to your god Obama in bribes, we must take from the poor to ensure their continued opulence.

Oh, let's do. I've heard our rulers, who you seek to place as lords over every thought and action we enslaved masses take, are so fucking corrupt and incompetent that the allow lead in the most closely controlled food substance that they regulate.

Get the fuck out of here , where in your links does it claim


The bill would affect every aspect of America’s food supply, undermining federal work to prevent bioterrorist attacks on our food sources, inspect meat and eggs for Salmonella, reduce antibiotic-resistant bacteria in meat and poultry, and inform consumers about the content of the foods we eat.

That is why the bill has been dubbed the Filthy Food Act. But it would also have a much broader devastating effect on American life by undermining the important work of all federal agencies, whether on health, safety, transparency, privacy, financial matters, or the environment.




Talk about propaganda from.you, let me guess demofag underground

Demofag? Fag??Is that you're best you got, an An ad hominem , Try addressing the issue? How is it propaganda,? Do you understand what propaganda is?

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/2014...opaganda-techniques-all-students-should-learn

Explain how this is propaganda. Refute the facts as presented.

"Fag" is colloquial for homosexual. Recently, "snowflake" and "Democrat" have become very similar terms as regards white people.

Thanks cupcake but the topic is what's important.

The damn cheeto has now made it perfectly legal for 1% company owners to poison your water and he won't hesitate to do the same tony our food.

There's also the ag-gag laws hat will make it a felony to secretly video cruelty or unhealthy practices.

All across the country, the wealthy are screwing over the working class and RWNJs are helping them.

I hope you dummies remember that when someone you love dies of food poisoning or poisoned water.

Did members of Congress exempt themselves from complying with the health care reform laws?

But readers also asked about another claim in the email: that members of Congress "specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment, while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the healthcare reform, in all of its forms."

PolitiFact first examined the claim that members of Congress are exempt from the provisions of the Affordable Care Act in 2009, when the legislation was still under consideration in Congress.

We rated it False. That claim was based on the assumption that the health care reform plan would have sent everyone -- except Congress -- into a new "public option" federal insurance plan. It would not have.

In fact, the law as passed did not even include a public option -- and Section 1213 of it requires members of Congress and congressional staff, starting in 2014, to buy health plans created by the health care act or offered through the state exchanges the act establishes.

Political scientist Norman Ornstein, a long-time observer of Congress and a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, debunked the claim of congressional exemption in a piece he wrote for the Washington newspaper Roll Call.

On the assertion that Members of Congress are exempt from the provisions of the Affordable Care Act: also false," he wrote. "Members of Congress are subject under the health care reform law to the same mandate that others are to purchase insurance, and their plans must have the same minimum standards of benefits that other insurance plans will have to meet. Members of Congress currently have not a gold-plated free plan but the same insurance options that most other federal employees have, and they do not have it provided for free. They have a generous subsidy for their premiums, but no more generous (and compared to many businesses or professions less generous) than standard employer-provided subsidies throughout the country."

FactCheck.org examined the broader claim that members of Congress "specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment)," and found it "15 years out of date" in 2010.

The reason: Passage of the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995. It specifically made sure a variety of laws dealing with civil rights, labor and workplace safety regulations applied to the legislative branch of government. The independent Office of Compliance was set up to enforce the laws in Congress.

The act specifically prohibits harassment based on sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age and disability.

Ornstein, who has been sharply critical of Congress (and only last month co-authored a piece for Foreign Policy magazine titled "Yes, Congress Is That Bad") said it is "not surprising that, in tough times, Americans would be inclined to believe the absolute worst about their elected officials.

"But at least," he added, "let the criticism be fair and based on facts instead of persistent urban legends."

PolitiFact Ohio would agree.

At best, the chain email's statement about Congressional exemptions is ridiculously out of date. At worst, it is cynically inaccurate.

On the Truth-O-Meter, it rates Pants on Fire!

Waite!! Are we moving the goal posts here? First the claim was made that congress made themselves exempt from the ACA. I proved otherwise. Now you're bitching that there plans are heavily subsidized while posting a like that says that is nothing unusual.

I have insurance through my state as a government retiree and both before as well as after retiring, never had to pay anything for it.

Oh, and you were also blathering about it being the Democrats in congress that concocted some special deal, when it's all of congress that we are taking about. Get it together!

20 percent of baby food tested positive for LEAD, reveals ten-year study

Research gathered over a period of ten years has shown that 20 percent of baby food is contaminated with lead. As you may know, the CDC reports that there is no safe level of lead exposure for children, least of all infants. The report comes from a nonprofit organization known as the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).

EDF’s Tim Neltner, who authored this mind-blowing report, commented, “The levels we found were relatively low, but when you add them up — with all the foods children eat … it’s significant.”

Together with his colleagues, Neltner evaluated data collected from the FDA between 2003 and 2013. All told, 2,164 baby food samples were analyzed. Their findings were shocking and disheartening. A staggering 89 percent of grape juice samples tested positive for lead, and another 86 percent of baby food sweet potatoes and 47 percent of teething biscuits also contained detectable amounts of lead. Apple juice, carrots and arrowroot cookies also tested positive for lead more often than other foods. You can download the full report here.

"Members of Congress are subject under the health care reform law to the same mandate that others are to purchase insurance, and their plans must have the same minimum standards of benefits that other insurance plans will have to meet. Members of Congress currently have not a gold-plated free plan but the same insurance options that most other federal employees have, and they do not have it provided for free. They have a generous subsidy for their premiums, but no more generous (and compared to many businesses or professions less generous) than standard employer-provided subsidies throughout the country."

FactCheck.org examined the broader claim that members of Congress "specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment)," and found it "15 years out of date" in 2010.

The reason: Passage of the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995. It specifically made sure a variety of laws dealing with civil rights, labor and workplace safety regulations applied to the legislative branch of government. The independent Office of Compliance was set up to enforce the laws in Congress.

The act specifically prohibits harassment based on sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age and disability.

Ornstein, who has been sharply critical of Congress (and only last month co-authored a piece for Foreign Policy magazine titled "Yes, Congress Is That Bad") said it is "not surprising that, in tough times, Americans would be inclined to believe the absolute worst about their elected officials.

"But at least," he added, "let the criticism be fair and based on facts instead of persistent urban legends."

PolitiFact Ohio would agree.

At best, the chain email's statement about Congressional exemptions is ridiculously out of date. At worst, it is cynically inaccurate.

On the Truth-O-Meter, it rates Pants on Fire!

We all know how good capitalist are at policing themselves. Think about how many cars with known deadly defects were allowed to stay on the road. Remember the subprime mortgage debacle caused by deregulation of the banks.

Did members of Congress exempt themselves from complying with the health care reform laws?

But readers also asked about another claim in the email: that members of Congress "specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment, while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the healthcare reform, in all of its forms."

PolitiFact first examined the claim that members of Congress are exempt from the provisions of the Affordable Care Act in 2009, when the legislation was still under consideration in Congress.

We rated it False. That claim was based on the assumption that the health care reform plan would have sent everyone -- except Congress -- into a new "public option" federal insurance plan. It would not have.

In fact, the law as passed did not even include a public option -- and Section 1213 of it requires members of Congress and congressional staff, starting in 2014, to buy health plans created by the health care act or offered through the state exchanges the act establishes.

Actually, I was not trying to defend congress. They are not my favorite people. I was shooting down your inane assertion that they were exempt from the ACA. Then , when I successfully did that, I destroyed your claim that the fact that their health care plans are subsidized by the taxpayers is somehow a big issue.

Now, having lost on those points, you're moving the goal posts again, you're bringing up some horseshit about insider trading which is way off topic.

Get the fuck out of here , where in your links does it claim


The bill would affect every aspect of America’s food supply, undermining federal work to prevent bioterrorist attacks on our food sources, inspect meat and eggs for Salmonella, reduce antibiotic-resistant bacteria in meat and poultry, and inform consumers about the content of the foods we eat.

That is why the bill has been dubbed the Filthy Food Act. But it would also have a much broader devastating effect on American life by undermining the important work of all federal agencies, whether on health, safety, transparency, privacy, financial matters, or the environment.




Talk about propaganda from.you, let me guess demofag underground

Demofag? Fag??Is that you're best you got, an An ad hominem , Try addressing the issue? How is it propaganda,? Do you understand what propaganda is?

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/2014...opaganda-techniques-all-students-should-learn

Explain how this is propaganda. Refute the facts as presented.

"Fag" is colloquial for homosexual. Recently, "snowflake" and "Democrat" have become very similar terms as regards white people.

Thanks cupcake but the topic is what's important.

The damn cheeto has now made it perfectly legal for 1% company owners to poison your water and he won't hesitate to do the same tony our food.

There's also the ag-gag laws hat will make it a felony to secretly video cruelty or unhealthy practices.

All across the country, the wealthy are screwing over the working class and RWNJs are helping them.

I hope you dummies remember that when someone you love dies of food poisoning or poisoned water.

Sounds pretty much like a description of the Orange Ogre to me. You clearly do not have a clue as to what I believe or want for this country. Either that or you are projecting your own agenda or perhaps just shamelessly and knowingly misrepresenting progressives an liberals .

No it doesn't, you recognize yourself in it. You yearn for a return to feudalism, which is what the fascism you promote ultimately boils down to, not because you think you will be a serf, but because you lust to be a lord who can rule with an iron fist over others.

Leftism is a manifestation of stupidity, greed, and a lust for power. Some adopt fascism because they are just stupid, others because they are convinced they will get something for nothing; then there are those like you who lust for power over other men, to enslave your betters.

When you see a pile of dog shit on the ground, do you just pick it up and eat it? If the EPA or other government ruler doesn't think for you, you'll just stuff anything into your mouth? Most of us are far smarter than you, we discriminate between healthy and unhealthy foods.

The Obama grab on back yard ponds and creeks absolutely needed to be stopped. You fascist thugs have no right to designate someone's private pond as under the thumb of some baron or thane of the federal lordships.

Bravo President Trump for driving the Nazis back. Keep your fucking hands to yourselves. You should have learned that when you were two, but fascist thugs have never been civilized and act like spoiled little brats.
