It surprised me that a democratic congress passed this bill and one of more well know democratic senators actually introduced it.
ron paul and a few others introduced a bill last summer (health protection freedom act )to basically counteract the whole thing and against the junk science stuff, http://www.thenhf.com/government_affairs/federal/HR_2117.pdf to my knowledge it is stuck somewhere deep within the bowels of the govt
n you dont?????pffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttt,,, dont throw stones when ya live in a glass house ...
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=162 from your link This kinda SAYS the opposite http://www.nutraingredients.com/news/ng.asp?id=67154-vitamin-supplements-germany-vitamin-d
um unless i am really missing something in the link you gave,,, the link is about a study of 2-18 yrs olds and use of vitamins and benefits of such... sure it speaks of use and abuse and that use is up in this article and although the article was just written in sptember of last year, the studies they are speaking of are from 2003 -2004, thus before implementation of many if any of the codex guidelines ...
so its ongoing,, your point is what exactly,,,, will be interesting to see if there is any difference from the 2003-2004 studies and results from 2006-2007 .. how are we to know if there is any difference when the link provided only shows data from before 2005 when it was sposed to have begun its implementation in germany,,, you see, there is no comparison to go by that indeed proves it is opposite... would be like having a study here from 2006 -7 and in 2010 using figures and facts from the study done in 2006-7 ... how the hell is there any way of knowing without the numbers from today....
i aint here to convince anyone here of anything,,, i see what i see happening and am going to live my life with the idea that one day my freedom of food choices may one day be limited by our govt.... if it happens i will be prepared ... I am not going to sit here n read thousands of papers in search of line by line info for ppl that cant take the time to look into and research on there own and come to there own conclusion... i have things to plant, harvest and learn from in preparation for what i one day may have to face....
This is what happens when predictions go bad, they try to put the burden of proof on anyone who disagrees, Codex has been in the air since 96' "first i heard of it " every year the same ol thing, wait till next year, you'll see. after 12 years and still no proof makes me lil skeptical.
i dont need any more proof than what i see every day ... If you stop n look around n see what is happening ,,,n it is everywhere,( cloned meat, irradiation, bottled water by the gazillions, genetic modification of food sources, BGH, junk science, huge pharmaceutical companies, monsanto n there antics ... the list goes on) it is enough "proof " for me.... what do you call all of that??? Is it the betterment of food safety,prolonging health and technological advancement??? am i skeptical,,, sure ,,, would i rather be knowledgeable n educated and prepared if it does progress??? Damned straight i would... Is it up to me to prove it and convince others, hell no... however at the same time i am going to tell others what i do know n what i do see and that perhaps they should look into things a bit further than what is let out to the general public and be prepared n make there own conclusions... wouldnt be the first lil dirty yet open secret from our fine govt officials...
This is what happens when you give too much info to so many people, it gets distorted. mostly for one's personal enjoyment. The only lesson to be learned here is EAT YOUR VEGETABLES. Yet ,as of 1-23 2008 stores shelves are still full in Berlin an Oslo, the markets are seeing rapid economic growth
