PRESS RELEASE March 18, 2009 For Immediate Release Contact: The Gerson Institute     H.R. 875 and S. 425     We wanted to inform you of two bills in the House of Representatives and the Senate, H.R. 875 and S. 425.  Below is a brief description of each and a link to the full text of the bills.     As a non-profit organization, we cannot lobby for or against legislation or candidates.  However, we can provide information and education.     Critics say that these bills could move quickly and be decided in just a few weeks, and they urge people to contact their representatives immediately.  Because of this, we wanted to send out a special e-bulletin on the topic, so people can be aware of these bills, can contact their representatives or spread the word if they would like to.  Critics also say that these acts could make it illegal to grow our own food-in our backyards, do organic farming and more.  Representative Rosa DeLauro, who introduced H.R. 875, is married to Stanley Greenburg who works for Monsanto.   H.R. 875 Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009   http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-875   Feb 4, 2009: Referred to House Agriculture   To establish the Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional contamination, and for other purposes.   S. 425 Food Safety and Tracking Improvement Act http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-425 Feb 12, 2009: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
