You are what you eat. Well, we are going to be eating the "sound of silence" if the Senate passes the bill, Food Safety Accountability Act S.216! Its time to take the blindfolds off, Senators, for a closer look at what you are asking the American public to sacrifice. Apparently, the blind are leading the blind. This bill allows the FDA to prosecute any claims that food or herbal supplements aid in the prevention of disease. (Information on the bill is listed at the bottom of this entry.)
Since I have no faith in congress or their ability to protect the American people from such idiotic nonsense, I decided to do a little research of my own. This new bill would prohibit future generations from knowing the truth about healthy alternatives. It threatens freedom of speech and eliminates freedom of choice. Forfeiting these great privileges would be losing everything to the enemy!
If this bill is passed, it will confirm my suspicions, there is not a "grain" of integrity or moral "fiber" left in the "nuts" that are running this country! They are making it "berry" difficult for the people of the United States to maintain their freedom. Perhaps the underlining goals of congress are for Americans to resemble "vegetables," rather than eat them!
Listed below are several possibilities for preventing disease. I don't want this valuable information to become known as the "forbidden fruit"! Allowing this bill to pass would be signing our death certificates. I would like to believe the goal is to keep people healthy, but that would put the trillion dollar drug companies out of business, now wouldn't it!
Optimum foods to enhance healthy living.
1. Garlic & Fennel – Garlic contains a number of compounds that can protect against cancer, especially that of the skin, colon, and lungs. Garlic is a natural antibiotic. Fennel inhibits the growth of cancer cells (eat fresh fennel bulbs or crush the seeds).
2. Dark Leafy Greens - Dark greens are rich sources of antioxidants called carotenoids. They destroy dangerous free radicals from the body before they can promote cancer growth.
3. Grapes – Purple grapes contain the chemical resveratrol, which is a very potent antioxidant that can prevent cell damage before it begins.
4. Green Tea – The flavonoids in green tea have been shown to slow or prevent the development of several types of cancer including colon, liver, breast, and prostate. (Not the tea in bottles, it has too much sugar.)
5. Tomatoes – The compound lycopene, (most easily absorbed from cooked tomatoes) has been shown to prevent prostate cancer, as well as cancer of the breast, lung, and stomach.
6. Blueberries – Of all the berries, blueberries are the richest in cancer fighting compounds. They are beneficial and filled with nutrients.
7. Flaxseeds or Chiaseed – Flax contains lignans, which can have an antioxidant effect and block or suppress cancerous changes. The omega-3 fatty acids can also help protect against colon cancer. Chiaseed aids in weight loss. They are high in omega-3, prevent food cravings and block calorie absorption.
8. Oregano – Helps the body fight disease, builds the immune system and kills off unfriendly bacteria. Its anti-fungal and a natural antibiotic. This natural remedy provides defense against biological toxins.
9. Vegetables – Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts contain strong antioxidants that may help decrease cancer risk. Vegetables that are eaten in the raw form are healthier and have more nutrition, fiber and vitamin content.
10. Whole Grains – Whole grains contain a variety of anti-cancer compounds including antioxidants, fiber, and phytoestrogens. These can aid in decreasing the risk of developing most types of cancer.
Fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants are staples in many cancer-fighting diets. They can work together for an even greater cancer-combating effect. By, Linda Sumner Urza, One fine day.

Senate Bill Would Jail Food Makers for Ten Years! As if Congress does not have enough urgent work to do, a bill has just been introduced that would vastly expand the FDA’s power to put food makers in jail for ten years! Just a few days ago, you learned that a walnut grower capitulated to FDA pressure and removed truthful health claims from its website. The bill just introduced in the Senate would grant the FDA far more draconian powers to censor this kind of health information.This Senate bill will enable the FDA to incarcerate food makers if they cite findings from peer-reviewed published scientific studies on their websites.The pretext for these draconian proposals is a bill titled the Food Safety Accountability Act (S.216).The ostensible purpose of the bill is to punish anyone who knowingly contaminates food for sale. Since there are already strong laws to punish anyone who commits this crime, this bill serves little purpose other than enriching pharmaceutical interests by censoring what healthy food makers can say about their products. The sinister scheme behind this bill is to exploit the public’s concern about food safety. Drug companies want to convince your senators that an overreaching law needs to be enacted to grant the FDA powers to define “food contamination” any way it chooses. The problem is the FDA can proclaim a food as “misbranded” even if the best science in the world is used to describe its biological effects in the body. The fear is the FDA will use the term “misbranded” in the same way it defines “adulterated” in order to jail food makers as if they were selling contaminated food. While the new bill only refers to food violations and not supplements, the FDA may not interpret it this way. The big issue here is that if this bill is passed, it would give the FDA legal authority to threaten and coerce small companies into signing crippling consent decrees that will deny consumers access to truthful non-misleading information about natural approaches to protect against age-related disease. Please tell your two senators to OPPOSE the Food Safety Accountability Act (S.216) in its present form. You can do this in a few minutes on our convenient Legislative Action Center on our website.
