These people won't be satisfied until their anal-retentive statist pig control freak dysfunction obsessions have been imposed on every conceiveable human activity for which anyone possibly could give or get a single nickel, including tooth fairy money under pillows. The cosponsors of this bill are Republicans Kevin Elsenheimer, David Palsrok, Howard Walker, Goeff Hansen, Darwin Booher, Richard Ball, John Stahl and Jeff Mayes. I spit on them all, and all their ilk. Which is 95+ percent of all legislators. Pigs.

Get a life, will ya? Is that the best you can do as a "legislator", dream up new ways to regulate everyone and everything?

Go get real jobs. This kind of crap is how youy prove to us that we still need you full timers? Hehehehe Seeee YA

They are messing with all of our foods to the point that nothing is safe. Stay out of the food industry. Ban the FDA - they are NOT on the consumers side. They allow all kinds of poisons to be added and many times not even labeled. Stay out of the lives of small business, which is about all we can trust these days. They want to irradiate our foods, put viruses on our meat! Here is a short article about it. The Food and Drug Administration recently announced the developing of a new method of annihilating bacteria which are ubiquitously present on all meat products. Sprayed on ready-to-eat meat, cold cuts, hot dogs, sausages, sliced ham, poultry products, turkey etc., the combination of six viruses is meant to kill all microbes and bacteria which can cause serious health disorders in consumers. This is insanity!!! They are poisoning our water and foods with fluoride, which Hitler used on the people. I guess he really cared about their teeth! Fluoride was used in rat killer. It is currently being used as a pesticide on many things. They even want to add it to children's ice cream now! The toothpaste tube says call poison control if swallowed. You know kids swallow it! It is in high concentrations in tea according to a government report. I have just barely touched on the subject and there are many other things they are adding even worse.

Couldn't say it any better.

This bill is more about protecting some big food company and eliminating their cometition than it is about safer food. There have been too many food recalls coming from these "factories" for me to consider them safe. The small Maple syrup providers do a tremendous job of providing a safe, nutritious product.
