Why Did the Senate Ag Committee Just Vote to Take Away our Food Rights?!
Keeping us in the ‘Dark’ About GMOs in Our Food
Latest News
How did the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture vote this past Tuesday in the hearing for the DARK Act, (Deny Americans the Right to Know) strangely officially called the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act (HR 1599)? You need to know before if goes to a full Senate floor vote!
The DARK Act cleared the committee in a 14 to 6 vote. This bill was promoted by Representative Mike Pompeo, a supporter of biotech giants like Monsanto, and would pre-empt states from having their own laws on GMO labeling. This includes states such as Vermont which have already acted on GMO labeling. Vermont has a GM labeling law going into effect just months from now.
America needs to contact those that voted Nay and thank those Senators. Ask these representatives to listen to the people, and stand strong against the DARK Act. For those that voted Yea, consider contacting to let them know how you feel about their betrayal of Americans’ right to know what is in their food. States’ rights need to be protected. We all deserve to know if we are eating foods full of genetically modified ingredients!
It would also allow GMOs to be labeled ‘natural’ so lawsuits which hold large companies liable for lying to consumers about what is in their food (ie., Kellogg’s recent Kashi fiasco) would become a thing of the past. Big Food is basically saying this: ‘we’ll tell you what’s safe, and we’ll call something natural even if it’s made in a lab, and you’ll shut up and eat it.’
We need to stop the DARK Act dead in its tracks.

Looks like the government is going for broke before Trump takes over….but what if Trump gives the public permission to hunt down and bring to justice every Senator and Congressman who has been willful in the destruction of America’s food supply? Hmm, that is a scary thought.
Cruz has expressed strong support for agricultural biotechnology and has made clear that he considers labeling unnecessary. “We need to stand up to the hysteria,” he said at the Iowa Ag Summit in March 2015, “ I would note: For families, for parents, that don’t want to feed their kids GMOs, in the private marketplace there has grown up an abundant market. You can go and purchase organic if you want to pay more.” On labeling, he said during an interview with RFDTV and Agri – pulse in September 2015, “I don’t think the federal government should be mandating labeling that’s not driven by the sciences, particularly when there have been enormous gains in terms of driving down the cost of food and feeding people all across the world.” (sounds like Bill the Shill Gates…pure evil and lies).
This pompous elitist “You can go and purchase organic if you want to pay more.” That’s why you will NOT be elected for POTUS nor VP. Good luck getting a 2nd term in the Senate. You barely made it the first time. Had it not been for Sarah Palin’s Hail Mary, you’d still be a bus driver.
This fraudnadian is definitely NWO, elitist, globalist supporting their killer agenda.
Unfortunately all of the candidates are for big ag. Don’t let any of them fool you. The first to go should be (senator roberts) who likes to post as GMO ROBERTS.
All except for one who is the only Outsider who is against GMO. He’s also more aware of the vaccine agenda than the good Dr Ben Carson who said he would make vaccines mandatory across the board should he be elected, whereupon Trump commented that he knows many people whose kids were normal and healthy, got vaccinated and now have autism and other disorders. (see at first debate).
Trump is a genius and not gubmint indoctrinated or owned. He’s very aware of what’s been happening to our country with everything the government has been doing against the people and this is why they’re doing everything in their power to take him out.
Free, my only problem with Trump is that I believe him to be a “Trojan Horse” with an agenda that none of us will enjoy. Time will tell and I really hope that I’m wrong.
Trojan Horse ? It doesn’t even make sense. Think about it. He’s funding himself and not accepting any super PACs or donors. He has put his life on the line. He’s had so many death threats he’s been wearing a bullet proof vest since the start, and has his personal detail along with the Secret Service for extra security. His entire family is on the line. Why would he do all that if he was not serious. He’s been saying the same things for decades. Amazing! Watch….

Wrong again kimmie, but thanks for more of your lies. Funny as always.
Oh kimmie once again you are so far off base, but then again you are out of touch with reality aren’t you.
These people are Traitors and should be dealt with accordingly !
The only explanation is that GMO is a BIG PROFIT margin and the money is being doled out on POWER HUNGRY politicians for reciprocity . There is on other explanation. They feed on each other.
Just buy food labeled ORGANIC certified and refuse or CUT DOWN on food you are suspicious of or will not participate in labeling.
I started using brown rice flour and oat flour for pancakes, cookies mainly. These are not GMO. I’m not gluten sensitive. Other flours incl nut flours can be used.
Good report Christina, God created all things & said it is good, these evil men, for $$$$$$$$$$$$ sake & Depopulation one step at a time, GMO, Chem-Trail’s not one mouth full can not be considered pure untouched by things that will make sick unto death. God Help us All!
