try this one too
it was sent out from Gabriel Cousins
Today the U.S. Senate will vote to pass bill 510, the notorious "Food Safety Modernization Act". If S510 is passed, personal control over gardening will be severely restricted and saving seeds will be outlawed, theoretically setting the stage for a complete food monopoly by Monsanto and its GMO agenda. In short, it will grant the U.S. government new authority over the public

here is another great place to find real info....
I contacted my state senator and she said the S510 bill does NOT prohibit home gardening nor does it set the stage to prohibut home gardening. Is she lying to me? Where can I find more information on this bill? Have any news sources published stories? Where can I read the actual bill for myself?

I haven't heard anything about this yet. Scary. By the way if you're thinking of growing wheatgrass indoors at home, a lot of times it can mold really easily and make you sick if you still decide to juice it:

Here is an update from the discussion in Senate yesterday....

It surprises me that people are so shocked by this, or don't believe the govt would actually eventually do this.... I mean monsanto has patents on seeds...how the F*CK do you patent a seed???? Then they sue farmers for having their crop on their land that was brought there by birds or the wind...and they WINNNNN!!!! doesn't that sound crazy and scary...who would want to be a farmer!!!
They make GMO foods, and sell them to every US citizen in every isle of every grocery store, doesn't that sound just as unbelievable???
so what is so unbelievable here?
this may sound hostile, that is not my intent! nor is it directed specifically at anyone I am just stating points to open some minds :)
The bill doesn't outlaw home gardening, but it does give the fda the ability to crack down on big corporate farms that sell contaminated "foods" which makes people sick. I guess the meat/dairy industry and big ag don't want that. The opposition to this bill is packed with tea partiers, and this is the new 'death panel.'
