NZ food bill to make growing food a government privilege rather than a human right
Apparently, in New Zealand, they might pass a bill in which people cannot even grow fruit in their backyard. According to this new CODEX (the same world wide WTO CODEX that the US Congress might pass), the safety of food is paramount. So, people cannot grow food without a government permit. This is insanity, but nevertheless, it probably will be passed in the USA because Senator McCain and others are major supporters.
If this CODEX is passed, then we will no longer be able to purchase most food supplements, like Vitamin C. In addition, this CODEX wants all foods to be processed, so we might not be able to eat fresh fruits or fresh salads any more. Don't laugh ... at most hospitals, all they already serve only processed foods, no fresh veggies or fresh salads.
