The personel responsibility in food consumption act is aptly named though whether intentially or not they are telling us what we must do in order to escape their control.
Boycotts are all we can do, Thanks to heavy boycotting of GM foods in Europe most of the bio tech companies have pulled out from here and set their plans back by a few years so it can work.

THIS is the type of 'elite to the masses' communication I had recently wanted to talk about here!

Also, you made me think of this possibility of boycotting GM foods, and I realized I think they may have already safeguarded against this! Chemtrails could have an effect on the soil making most privately held land tainted with biologically engineered 'designer-soup'. The purpose being to make any non-GM foods unable to grow in the ground . . .

Here's another one to add to the list - this morning the paper here read "Cloned Cow: From Petri Dish to Dinner Plate" or something like that. Telling all about how the FDA is gonna approve it to have cloned beef meats sold in supermarkets in the 'states. You tell somebody that they've been doing that with chicken for years and they'll just look at you stupid . . .

MSG- The Slow Poisoning of America.

I received this today and thought I would post it. Remember----
usually if the  label says "natural flavorings" it is the common
euphemism for MSG.  Since so many people are concerned about weight,
I thought I would pass this on (though I am aware of other causes of
obesity, (like aspartame, and also the adeno virus)   LM

    Slow Poisoning

    I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the
massive obesity  epidemic, so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was
a research assistant at the University of Waterloo, and spent years
working for the government.

   He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific
journals for a  book he was writing called The Slow Poisoning of
America. In hundreds of studies  around the world, scientists were
creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies.

    No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so the scientists
have to create  them. They make these morbidly obese creatures by
injecting them with MSG when they are first born. The MSG triples the
amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and humans?) to
become obese They even have a title for the  race of fat rodents they
create: "MSG-Treated Rats" MSG?

    I was shocked too. I went to my kitchen, checking the
cupboards and the  fridge. MSG was in everything! The Campbell's
soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays  flavored potato chips, Top
Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson
frozen prepared meals, Kraft salad dressings, especially the 'healthy
low fat' ones.

    The items that didn't have MSG had something called Hydrolyzed
Vegetable Protein, which is just another name for Monosodium
Glutamate. It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed
our children everyday are filled with this stuff. They hide MSG under
many different names in order to fool those who catch on.

   But it didn't stop there. When our family went out to eat, we
started asking  at the restaurants what menu items had MSG. Many
employees, even the managers, swore they didn't use MSG. But when we
ask for the ingredient list, which they grudgingly provided, sure
enough MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were everywhere. Burger
King, McDonalds, Wendy's, Taco Bell, every restaurant, even  the sit
down ones like TGIF, Chilis', Applebees and Denny's use MSG in
abundance. Kentucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the WORST offender:
MSG was in every chicken dish, salad dressing and gravy. No wonder I
loved to eat that coating on the skin, their secret spice was MSG!

    So why is MSG in so may of the foods we eat? Is it a
preservative or a vitamin? Not according to my friend John. In the
book he wrote, an expose of the food additive industry called The
Slow Poisoning of America,  www.spofamerica.com,  he said that MSG is
added to food for the addictive effect it has on the  human body.
Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby
group supporting MSG at:
file://www.msgfactscom/facts/msgfact12.html   explains that the
reason they add it to food is to make people eat more.

    A study of elderly people showed that people eat more of the
foods that it is added to. The Glutamate Association lobby group says
eating more benefits the elderly, but what does it do to the rest of
us?

    'Betcha can't eat just one', takes on a whole new meaning
where MSG is concerned! And we wonder why the nation is overweight?
The MSG manufacturers  themselves admit that it addicts people to
their products. It makes people choose their product over others, and
makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added. Not
only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an
addictive substance! Since its introduction into the American food
    supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and
larger doses to the prepackaged meals, soups, snacks and fast foods
we are tempted to eat everyday.

   The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to
food. They claim  it's safe to eat in any amount. How can they claim
it is safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles
like these?

Ribeiro IA. Res Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002 Adrenalectomy
abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin release in both
normal and monosodium glutamate-obese rats. Guimaraes RB,  Telles MM,

Yoshinari Fujishima Hypertens Res. 1998 Mar

    Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium
glutamate in suckling period and subsequent development of obesity.
Tanaka K, Shimada M, Nakao K,  Kusunoki Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct

    Yes, that last study was not a typo, it WAS written in 1978.
Both the medical  research community and food "manufacturers" have
known MSG's side effects for  decades!  Many more studies mentioned
in John Erb's book link MSG to
    Diabetes, Migraines and headaches, Autism, ADHD and even
Alzheimer's. But what can we  do to stop the food manufactures from
dumping fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing
the obesity epidemic we now see?

    Even as you read this, George W. Bush and his corporate
supporters are  pushing a Bill through Congress. Called the "Personal
Responsibility in Food Consumption Act" also known as
the "Cheeseburger Bill", this sweeping law bans anyone from suing
food manufacturers, sellers and distributors. Even if it comes out
that they purposely added an addictive chemical to their foods.

    Read about it for yourself at:
    http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/8458081.htm

    "Last month the House of Representatives passed the "Personal
Responsibility  in Food Consumption Act" to protect the food and
beverage industry from civil  lawsuits. Under the measure, known as
the "Cheeseburger Bill," people who buy  food or drinks couldn't sue
the companies that made them, the stores that sold them or the
restaurants that served them if they got fat from the products, so
long as the products met existing laws.

    The Senate is expected to take up a similar bill later this
year." The Bill has already been rushed through the House of
Representatives, and is due for the same rubber stamp at Senate
level. It is important that Bush and  his corporate supporters get it
through before the media lets everyone know about MSG, the
intentional Nicotine for food.
 
  Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to
one of the  highest government health officials in Canada. While
sitting in the Government office, the official told him "Sure I know
how bad MSG is, I wouldn't touch the  stuff!" But this top level
government official refused to tell the public what  he knew. The big
media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing legal  issues
with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on the fast food
industry may hurt their profit margin.

   So what do we do? The food producers and restaurants have been
addicting us  to their products for years, and now we are paying the
price for it. Our children should not be cursed with obesity caused
by an addictive food additive. But  what can I do about it? I'm just
one voice, what can I do to stop the  poisoning of our children,
while guys like Bush are insuring financial protection for  the
industry that is poisoning us. I for one am doing something about it.
I am sending this email out to everyone I know in an attempt to show
you the  truth that the corporate owned politicians and media won't
tell you.

    The best way you can help save yourself and your children from
this drug-induced epidemic, is to forward this email to everyone.
With any luck, it will circle the globe before Bush can pass the Bill
protecting those who poisoned us.
    The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry.
Imagine if big tobacco had a bill like this in place before someone
blew the whistle on Nicotine?
    Blow the whistle on MSG. If you are one of the few who can
still believe that  MSG is good for us, and you don't believe what
John Erb has to say, see for yourself. Go to the National Library of
Medicine, at www.pubmed.com.
    Type in the words "MSG Obese", and read a few of the 115
medical studies that appear.

    We do not want to be rats in one giant experiment, and we do
not approve of  food that makes us into a nation of obese, lethargic,
addicted sheep, waiting  for the slaughter.

    With your help we can put an end to this, and stop the Slow
Poisoning of  America.

    Let's save our children...save all of us !!
