THIS IS IMPORTANT AND IT WILL BE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO TRY TO GET YOUR US REPRESENTATIVE TO OPPOSE THIS BILL, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, TO HOLD PHARMACEUTICAL AND DR.S TO THE SAME STANDARDS, AS THEY FREELY ADMIT THAT THE DRUGS THEY PRESCRIBE KILL THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS TO THE SAME STANDARD.
IMO
A once dormant bill to criminalize natural food and supplement producers is back in action. Attaching a prison sentence of up to 10 years is pretty serious for a possible ambiguous crime of adulteration and misbranding. Senator Patrick Leahy introduced this bill last year as S.3767, The Food Safety Accountability Act. Although amended, it is still too vague and ultimately considered a bad bill, even by the folks who effected its amendment.

Before we could report on the bill’s resurrection, it passed the Senate. In summary, it “Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to impose an additional fine and/or a prison term of up to 10 years for knowingly violating prohibitions of such Act against adulteration or misbranding of any food, drug, device, tobacco product, or cosmetic, or against the introduction in interstate commerce of unsafe dietary supplements, with conscious or reckless disregard of a risk of death or serious bodily injury.” See how wide open that is?
