A battle for food safety was recently lost in New Mexico when a bill that had passed both houses was shelved by a Minority Leader. The bill would have given New Mexico citizens a chance to address the dangerous toxins in their food which have been approved by the corrupt FDA under control of large criminal corporations such as Monsanto and RJ Reynolds.
According to Food Safety Advocate and the author of the bill, Stephen Fox, the bill was shelved under pressure from Altria Corporate Services (the parent company for Kraft and Phillip Morris) and the Glutamate Association.
“How could the Minority Leader, a member of the rarely convened Senate Ethics Committee, be pressured to do a total about-face on legislation he had spoken for and voted for two weeks earlier?” Stephen asks.
State legislatures has passed bill SB535 to create a new Advisory Council for Nutrition that would be more rigorous and effective than the FDA or other Federal Agencies. Unique to the bill is the intent to address the issue of excitotoxicity, or the toxic effects of msg or other additives like hydrolyzed vegetable oils, calcium caseinate, yeast extract, and aspartic acid derived from aspartame found in diet soft drinks.
Such complex maneuvering to kill legislation previously passed by wide margins in both houses does not seem to discourage Fox.
“By 2006, both houses will be more thoroughly educated about the medical urgency for all of these bills, and even if no ethical complaints are filed about these procedures, and no action is taken by the legislature about these corporate lobbying abuses, we will still win the next battle” says Fox.
In the meantime, citizens can educate themselves and simply choose not to eat foods which are known to contain dangerous toxins.
