Rescue Local/Organic Farming from One-Size-Fits-All Food

Safety Bill!

The U.S. Senate is

expected to vote on a sweeping overhaul of the food safety laws very soon -

possibly as early as next week. While the bill seeks to improve food

safety, as it is currently written, S. 510 will actually make our food less

safe. S. 510 will strengthen the forces that have led to the

consolidation of our food supply in the hands of a few industrial food

producers, while harming small producers who give consumers the choice to buy

fresh, healthy, local foods. This means higher food costs to you and lower quality

food, with the possibility of more diseases spread through the population.

Please contact your

Senators NOW to urge them to amend or oppose the bill!

Congress needs to

solve the real problems - chemical-intensive agriculture, factory farms,

industrialized and centralized food production and distribution, and often

tainted imported foods - and not regulate organic and small farms out of

business. S. 510 is a " one-size-fits-all " approach that will

unnecessarily burden both farmers and small-scale food processors, ultimately

depriving consumers of the choice to buy from producers they know and trust.
