More reasons to oppose international controls over food regulations

Yesterday I spoke about the dangerous trend towards global control of all food regulations through the World Trade Organisation

and on Monday I spoke about our own border protection agencies failing us

but this isn’t just a problem for Australians ...

Right now the American doctor and TV show presenter Dr Mehmet Oz is embroiled in an identical controversy having raised the issue of toxins in imported apple juices.

The Dr Oz Apple Jiuce controversy has upset importers and other countries around the world who still grow primary produce in ways that are now considered unsafe.

and yet

What amazes me about the Dr Oz Apple Juice controversy is that there are actually organisations that are condemning Dr Oz for speaking out about this because they say he is upsetting the public.

It makes you wonder - doesn’t it?

For all the talk about public availability of information on so many issues....

Do people really want to know?

Or would they prefer not to know?

Is ignorance really bliss?

Fan of Dr. Oz or not...you have to wonder why Dr. Besser protests so much. Ok, at least folks are talking about this and more testing for arsenic in apple juice should be done.

Food for thought about where the food future will be

The World Trade Organisation is getting sovereign governments around the world to hand over regulation of their food security issues by implementing a global food program called The Codex Ailimentarius.

Now they will tell us that this document is all about food safety and food security. But as I mentioned yesterday if our authorities can’t protect us from poisoned food being imported why should we trust an organisation who isn’t accountable to us with the task of all food security?

There are many other issues of course including why should we put Australian farmers out of business just to import the same foods from overseas?

But the biggest problem with Codex Ailimentarius international agreement means you and I through our sovereign Australian government don’t get to make decisions about what we do or don’t allow into Australia.

It means if sovereign nations like Australia and America sign away their sovereignty over border security and we loose our ability to make decisions about our food imports but it goes even further than that.

Some organisations are warning Codex Alimentarius could even mean backyard gardens become illegal....and yet governments tell us that is just a normal part of global trade agreements.
