Consumer Beware: Corporate Takeover of our foods Places to check on the quality of foods you eat and buy. Big food has brought us the National Uniformity of Food Bill, which was passed by the house in 2006. This bill calls for voiding perhaps two hundred state food safety laws ie: standards for lead, arsenic and food additives content, milk and shellfish safety. Big Food has weakened organic standards re synthetics and pasture rules in 2005.
See http://organicconsumers.org/sos.cfm for recent changes in organic standards for corporate takeover, see http://www.cornucopia.org/2011/04/stop-the-corporate-takeover-of-organics/ Big Food has brought us unregulated, untested genetically engineered, food as soy and corn both ubiquitous in our daily diet.
