From the Weston A. Price Foundation: Help Preserve the Right to Raise Free Range Poultry After initially outlawing raising domestic Muscovy ducks, the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) still wants to regulate those that raise domestic Muscovy ducks as livestock, and to ban outright keeping domestic Muscovy ducks as pets. Muscovy ducks have a long history of domestication dating back to the 1500s.

UPDATE:  FOOD SAFETY BILL FIGHT CONTINUES Last week, the Senate passed S510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, with the Tester-Hagan amendment.  Almost immediately, members of the House of Representatives raised objections that S510 includes provisions for user fees, which they argued were revenue raising provisions that violated the Constitutional requirement that all

Agribusiness shows its true colors! Last week, the Senate voted 74-25 to move to consideration of S.510, the Food Safety Modernization Act.  After thirty hours of debate and behind-the-scenes negotiations, the Senators released a final Managers Amendment that includes a compromise version of the Tester-Hagan amendment.  Thank you to all our members who have called and written over

URGENT ACTION ALERT FOOD SAFETY LEGISLATION MOVING TOWARDS SENATE VOTE The Senate has returned home without voting on S.510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, but unfortunately the bill is still alive. Before returning home, the Senate started the process to bring S.510 to the floor for a vote, and it is likely that they will finally vote on it shortly after they re-convene on November 15.

Although it has been delayed many times, the Food Safety Modernization Act (S.510) continues to be a threat.  This bill greatly expands FDAs authority over both processed foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, and would give FDA authority to impose extensive, burdensome requirements on even the smallest processing facilities and farms who sell to local consumers.  While the

Talk With Your Senators and Congressman in Person! - Tell your Senators to Amend or Oppose S. 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act - and Tell Your Senators and Congressman to Support USDAs Proposed Rules for Fair Play in Livestock and Poultry Markets An in-person meeting with your legislators is one of the best ways to make an impact on them. And you dont have to go to DC to do it!

Thank you to the many people who have called or emailed their Senators to urge them to amend or oppose S. 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act!  The bill continues to be delayed and its future is unclear.  But it still poses a threat to producers of local, nutrient-dense foods.

USDA has just released the most recent statistics on use of genetically modified crops in the U.S. This, of course, does not include sugar beets, which are also in the over 90% range. How to interpret this? If you eat any processed foods containing corn, soybeans, or beet sugar, you should assume that they have a high probability of containing genetically modified ingredients.
