new food safety law under consideration

[Guest guest]

SillyYaks might wish to read up on House of Representatives Bill H.R.

4167 - " National Uniformity for Food Act. " This government give-away

of state and local food protection laws would be great for the

corporate world - and a very bad deal for anyone who eats.

Consumers Union (publisher of Consumer Reports) has an article

summarizing why that bill would be bad for consumers:

I'd ask all of you to read up on this bill and consider contacting to

your representative and asking them to stand up for consumer protection.
