Just before Christmas 2010, the Senate passed ‘food safety’ bill H.R.2751, previously S. 510, that will put the FDA in control of the nations food supply.
Vermont citizens have made a declaration that the agency and government have no right to determine or restrict the food choices of the People of Vermont.
“The Vermont Resolution for Food Sovereignty”, written by the Vermont Coalition for Food Sovereignty, it makes a statement to the United States government and the FDA that I wholeheartedly support. That we can grow and share food is an inalienable right that cannot be taken away.
The Vermont Resolution for Food Sovereignty
WHEREAS All people are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and
WHEREAS Food is human sustenance and is the fundamental prerequisite to life; and
WHEREAS The basis of human sustenance rests on the ability of all people to save seed, grow, process, consume and exchange food and farm products; and
WHEREAS We the People of Vermont, have an obligation to protect these rights as is the Common and Natural Law; and in recognition of the State’s proud agricultural heritage; and the necessity of agricultural, ecological and economic diversity and sustainability to a free and healthy Society;
THEREFORE, Be it resolved, that We The People, stand on our rights under the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution and reject such Federal decrees, statutes, regulations or corporate practices that threaten our basic human right to save seed, grow, process, consume and exchange food and farm products within the State of Vermont; and,
Be it further resolved, that We The People, shall resist any and all infringements upon these rights, from whatever sources that are contrary to the rights of the People of the State of Vermont.
