This H.R. 875 and Codex Alimentarius stuff is kind of scary

There’s a bill (H.R. 875) being moved swiftly in Congress right now about increasing food standards. But there are many who fear it could mean major problems for small organic farms, farmers markets, even your own backyard garden.  The one in the Senate is S. 425.  Read more for yourself, and call (202)-224-3121 or otherwise let your Congressman know you don’t like it. Contact the House Committee on Energy Commerce and House Committee of Agriculture.  Do this too.
