Senate Committee Passes “Filthy Food Act”

[TheProgressivePatriot]

My God! Is there no end to the Republican assault on the health, safety and well being of the American people ? First the move to take health care away from millions, freeing corporations to pollute the planet, cutting back on nutritional assistance, and now this:
Senate Committee Passes “Filthy Food Act”

The most dangerous bill you never heard of just cleared a major hurdle on the path to becoming law.

The so-called Regulatory Accountability Act, sponsored by Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), would make it nearly impossible for federal agencies to protect our health and safety moving forward.

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.

At this point, I do believe that it has passed the full house.

And it is not just Congress. Regulatory Agencies are taking the innitiative on their own to roll back protections:

43 Scientists, Researchers Call on Price, Gottlieb to Keep Nutrition Facts Deadline | Center for Science in the Public Interest

More than 40 scientists and researchers from across the country have called on Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb to maintain the July 2018 compliance date for the updated Nutrition Facts label. Food industry trade groups have mounted a fierce lobbying campaign to delay the label until May 2021.

These agencies headed up by Trumskies have in fact, delayed the rules. This is what Bannon meant by the deconstruction of the administrative state!
But while not enough Americans are paying attention, these folks are:

Food Watchdog Groups Sue Trump Administration Over Menu Labeling | Center for Science in the Public Interest

The Center for Science in the Public Interest and the National Consumers League, both represented by the nonprofit law firm Earthjustice, filed a lawsuit today in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s decision to delay a rule requiring chain restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores, and other food retail establishments to post calorie counts for prepared food and beverages

The Trump administration’s delay of menu labeling ill serves consumers, who need and want better information about their food choices,” said CSPI Director of Nutrition Policy Margo G. Wootan. “But the delay also ill serves the restaurant industry, which supports menu labeling and has already invested in new menus and menu boards. By siding with convenience stores and supermarkets over restaurant chains, the Trump administration is randomly sowing chaos.”

Trump has given the Republicans the opportunity to get what they've always wanted. A world with no regulations where any business can do anything it likes without consequence. People getting sick or dying doesn't register with them, they are only interested in their pals making money, all other considerations rescinded.

The sky is falling. More cancer, diabetes, heart disease. More anti biotic resistant disease . More obesity. More food born illness. All because of deregulation

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

The jerk reaction is the deregulation and the consequence will be more sick people at a time when their access to health care is threatened,

Utter bullshit, chicken little. You are simply outraged, OUTRAGED I TELLS YA, that people will not be micro-managed by the OberFuhrers and functionaries of the state. The first time a business sells tainted food it will be all over the news just like it was the last time, when the draconian bullshit you Nazis push failed to do anything to safeguard food.

What you actually fear is loss of power over people.

No, I fear the loss of the power of the people over the forces of greed , profit, and right wing idiology

you guys are such drama queens PP .

So life expectancy is falling then, Brown Shirt? I mean, if the demagoguery you promote is true, then life expectancy HAS to be falling.

A good Nazi like you wouldn't blatantly lie about something like this, would you?

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.

They do want a police / nanny state , someone to take care of them . Common sense seems to be gone . ----------------------- and obesity is no ones business but the fat persons business .

MEAT eating is a personal choice PP .

I heard second hand food was making a comeback..

MEAT eating is a personal choice PP .

Meat alone provides the healthy protein humans need to thrive. Vegetarianism is not a healthy choice. Americans eat too much meat, but zero meat might be worse.

No, I fear the loss of the power of the people over the forces of greed , profit, and right wing idiology

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.
