HR 875 could also be used to attack dietary supplements by not moving them along with CFSAN (Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition) over to the new Food Safety Agency that this bill would create inside the Department of Health and Human Services. If this did happen, FDA would have a much easier time attacking dietary supplements and trying to regulate them as "drugs" which they're NOT!!! We must insist language be written into HR 875 specifically forbidding dietary supplements from staying at FDA if food in common for is shifted over to this new Food Safety Agency.
Please go here http://www.usalone.com/cgi-bin/petition.cgi?pnum=960 to kill or amend a slew of so called "Food Safety Bills" that threaten to destroy small farmers and even attack backyard gardeners. Please send your comments to your Congressman and Senators, you can also send your concerns to your local newspapers.
Please share this information with EVERYONE!!!
Sincerely,
James Benjamin Roth
