By enacting legislation that makes food laws all conform to one federal model, all these progressive policies will be made illegal. Supporters of the bill include food giants such as HJ Heinz Co., Kraft Foods, Sara Lee Corp., Nestle USA and many supermarket chains.

This legislation has already passed the House (H.R. 4167), but it's not too late to do something about it! The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee is considering the National Uniformity for Food Act (S. 3128) this week.

    Amazing. You folks promote globalization in almost every issue
    yet you backoff from nationalization. Do you think that
    globalization begins globally?What kind of standards would be set
    if everything was global, who would set them, and how would we
    fight the ones with which we disagree? National uniformity is just
    a step in your precious globalization. Be careful what you wish
    for.
