More Codex Info & Food Action!

Customs Confiscated Vitamins (from www.alive.com)
Dear alive:
Thank you, Rhody, for your February editorial (alive #232). It has once again reminded me that I need to voice my disgust at the power of the Codex Commission. We in Canada take our freedom of choice for granted and think that injustices are only felt in Third World countries so far removed from us. The Codex Commission wields unheard-of power in Germany and now the European Union, so much so that vitamins recently sent to my relatives in Germany have been confiscated by customs with warnings of charges of illegal importation under the Customs Act.

I recommend us all to pick up a copy of the book from Dr. Carolyn Dean, MD, ND called "Death by Modern Medicine" and please read the article here:

Something else going on right under our noses :

This is another example of Stifling/Damaging Food Control for the sake of the illusion of healthy trade and commerce.

OTTAWA - Bill C-27, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) Enforcement Act, would mean the end of independent policy on food production, inspection and enforcement in Canada, according to the Beyond Factory Farming (BFF) Coalition.

Cathy Holtslander of the BFF Coalition will appear before the House Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-food today.

"Canadians want made-in-Canada food and agriculture regulations that ensure quality, health and safety," says Holtslander. "Bill C-27 would empower the CFIA to restructure the regulations governing Canada’s food and agriculture to put trade ahead of public safety and integration with the United States ahead of democratic Canadian control of what we eat."

Please Tell Your MP to vote NO to Bill C-27!
