Out of an abundance of caution — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern, Last week Enfamil pulled all their products off the shelves coast to coast out of an abundance of caution after four babies died from Cronobacter bacteria; it MUST have been in the baby formula and the news media ran with the story. The FDA later made the statement, “the bacteria that are found naturally in the [...]
Top Nanny Race Tightens
Diane Katz, Heritage Foundation As Friday draws near, two contenders are neck-and-neck for the title of Nanny of the Week. A dark horse may yet emerge, what with so much Big Government on the loose. But leading the pack at present are Michigan Governor Rick Snyder (R) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). First Snyder. The [...]
Are You Eating Dangerous Foods?
By Phyllis Schlafly I was shocked to read a article in the New York Times stating that nearly two-thirds of the fruits and vegetables and 80% of the seafood eaten in the United States now come from other countries. Half of the medical devices and 80% of the active ingredients in U.S. medications come from outside our country, often or usually [...]
Making Crimes Out of Milk Sales
By Phyllis Schlafly Federal agents watched a certain home in a small town in Pennsylvania for a year, gathering evidence. Then, in a pre-dawn raid, armed members from three agencies swooped in. No, this is not the news of a commando attack in Pakistan or Afghanistan. This was a raid this year by U.S. marshals, a state police trooper, and [...]
Safe Food at Any Cost
Free Enterprise Zone, The Freeman, Paul Schwennesen We all want safe food. Question is, how do we get it? “There oughta be a law” seems to be the generally conceived approach, as evidenced by recent passage of the now-famous food safety bill. A tidy and altogether comforting solution: Simply slay the beast of dangerous food with the [...]
The Ultimate Form of Wealth Redistribution — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern, According to a recent AP story , the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of embryonic stem cells for research and testing on a couple of projects; spinal cord injuries by one company and a vision related problem which affects roughly 30,000 people called Stargardt disease.

Continue to Oppose Food Safety Legislation
Liberty Alerts, JBS.org Freedom Campaign UPDATE: The Senate voted to approve a cloture motion today, November 17, with a 74-25 vote, well above the 60 votes required to limit debate on S. 510.

Put Patients and Doctors Back in Control of Healthcare — Ron Paul
Texas Straight Talk with Ron Paul Most everyone agrees that health care in the United States has major problems, the biggest problems relating to skyrocketing costs. No one doubts the system is in need of reform. However, too many in Washington see tighter government controls as the solution. In fact, the problems are rooted in past government [...]
Salt Regulation by FDA — T.F. Stern
By T.F. Stern, Government intrusion is growing at an accelerated rate and why wouldn’t it? There are no brakes on the locomotive which once responded to the people; all the safeties have been removed. The FDA actually believes it has the authority to regulate the consumption of salt and, for the first time, will put “legal limits on the [...]
Health Care and Radical Monopoly — Kevin Carson
Free Enterprise Zone, The Freeman, Kevin Carson In a recent article for Tikkun, Dr. Arnold Relman argued that the versions of health care reform currently proposed by “progressives” all primarily involve financing health care and expanding coverage to the uninsured rather than addressing the way current models of service delivery make it so [...]
Making Vitamins Too Costly For Your Health — Alan Caruba
By Alan Caruba At age 72 I have been taking a full range of vitamin and mineral supplements for years. Even I find it amusing to open more than a dozen bottles every morning to extract vitamins A, B, C, D and E, along with zinc, potassium, selenium, and fish oil. On the advice of my physician long ago, I also take a low dose aspirin every day. I [...]
