1. It passed the House but not the Senate.

Ben Cohen, attorney for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, summed things up in a statement calling on the Senate to reject the bill.

“The so-called National Uniformity in Food Act would nullify more than 200 state laws dealing with shellfish safety, restaurant hygiene, milk pasteurization, and so on,” he said. “It would even get rid of state warning notices about the risks to pregnant women of alcohol consumption. This bill is only fairly called a ‘uniformity’ bill in that it would force states to do a uniformly poor job in protecting consumers where the Food and Drug Administration fails to act.”

3. Shortly after bush took office, Congress repealed the Country of Origin label requirement

Very nasty that. Now, Americans are not confronted with the fact of how much of our food we do not produce! If you think Big Oil having control over your gas tank is bad, how ya gonna feel about multi-national BIG FOOD squeezing you and your belly?

When we do not grow and regulate food here, we are not as safe. Period.
