A global directive that very very few people are aware of. They’re certainly not aware of the potential implications it has. And although the Codex Alimentarius Commission is not exactly established Law, what it does is establish global guidelines which are then enforced by the World Trade Organisation, and effectively become regulation and directive, and therefore the trade associations and trade areas like the European Union ... are all expected to apply ... the de Shay legislation ... to effectively put a ring-fence around the natural food and natural health markets in the UK and the US. Ian R Crane, Codex Alimentarius Scam, interview BBC
Codex is a UN agency that wants to control the food of the world. It operates with the goal to destroy the vast majority of the world’s population. They want to rid the world of Useless Eaters. 80% of the food consumed by Americans is now genetically modified food. This is the food Codex loves. They are eugenicists, not agriculturists. S510 and its Codex Alimentarius component must be stopped. Wake up. The survival of our species is at stake. You can stay in denial like I once was, but it won’t change the fact the global mafia wants total genocide through food, air, water, vaccines, and any means possible. They are trying to achieve full spectrum dominance through their stealthy plan of ever increasing incrementalism. The plan is accelerating and we are spinning into chaos. We must identify the enemy. Identify their tactics and stand together against their evil. Wally Paul, Farm Wars online article
Regulation is an imperfect substitute for the accountability, and trust, built into a market in which food producers meet the gaze of eaters and vice versa. Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto
When people say they prefer organic food, what they often seem to mean is they don’t want their food tainted with pesticides and their meat shot full of hormones or antibiotics. Many object to the way a few companies – Monsanto is the most famous of them – control so many of the seeds we grow. Michael Specter
