I remember when I first heard about NAIS. It was ten years ago! These companies must be really lobbying hard for this for so long for a reason, and that says more than any of their rhetoric. Thanks for contributing this to today's Fight Back Fridays carnival. I stumbled it in the hopes of spreading the word.

The idea that NAIS is intended for <em>our</em> safety is comical. It sounds like a page taken directly from the book of allopathic medicine and the strangle hold that the drug industry has on it. The thought of the government ordering organic farmers to spray their fields or treat their livestock because of a nearby outbreak is infuriating to me. And of course, that only applies to the organic farmers who would be able to get past the overhead and technology costs of implementing NAIS. It deprives us of a fundamental choice to choose healthy food! <abbr><em>Vin | NaturalBias.com’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NaturalBias/~3/EPzHDEiw4tY/" rel="nofollow">The Hypocrisy of Mandatory Chemotherapy</a></abbr></em> It seems to me that most of the bureaucratic brains don’t care what we think and care more about what corporations like Monsanto think (they are the only ones who will benefit).
