The USDA needs to get out of the Food business before they kill the food supply
Topic: Food

Quote from Article "We need to look long-term, because we've got a long-term problem," U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer said at a recent press briefing on food and fuel.

"If you look at how to deal with this, we need to convince other nations in this world to increase yields. And that means the use of biotechnology products. It means better water management, better fertilizer management, and precision farming methods," he said.

"If other countries do not increase yields comparable to those that we see here in the United States, people are going to go hungry. It's that simple."

1: He is saying we must promote Monsanto
2: He is saying to promote Factory Farming
3: How can some poor countries have better water management when there is NO water..
4: How can some poor countries afford fertilizer?
5: And these poor countries will be forced in Animal ID as Animal ID is a world wide mandate if you want to TRADE.
6: How will these poor farmers afford to comply with animal ID when they have NO electrictricy, when they have no computers, when they have no phones etc.
This is the driving force behind ALL animal id world wide. That is the POWER behind the NAIS. That is why our representatives will not say an outright NO. Trade is worth more then the financial burdens we will accrue, Trade is worth more then the time consuming reporting that we will have to comply with, Trade is worth more then the RFID that can be hacked. Trade is worth more then that one horse should it develop a issue with injectable RFID.
The United States of America has sold all of us out to Foreign Agreements that "We the People" did not vote for all for "TRADE". http://www.oie.int/eng/Edito/en_lastedito.htm  They are abiding by organizations such as the OIE, FAO, WHO, Codex Alimentarius Commission.  Quote "The aims of the conference will be to emphasise the importance and benefits of identification and traceability, to raise awareness of existing OIE and Codex standards, to determine future requirements for standards, and to provide advice and assistance on implementing standards, especially on behalf of developing countries."
Quote "New technologies in animal production, such as animal cloning and transgenic animals, will create a need for additional arrangements to trace animals. Under certain circumstances authorities would have to trace every individual animal and animal product derived from these novel production methods. New technologies may also offer solutions. For example, DNA identification makes it possible to identify and monitor animals and animal products through to the retail level. Nonetheless, whether using high-tech or simple paper-based filing systems, the principles of traceability as defined in the Terrestrial Animal Health Code are universal, and apply equally in all situations."
Look up Transgentic animals!
