What has happened in the last year to our nation’s State of the Plate?
The executive branch has tremendous power to reshape food policy through political appointments, executive orders, and regulatory reform.
http://foodpolicyaction.org/state-of-the-plate/

[QUOTE]Nutrition & Health
We support policies that:
Reduce hunger at home and abroad
Improve food access and affordability
Promote safe, healthy, and nutritious diets for all Americans
Farming Better

Healthier Farming & Fishing
We support policies that:
Foster sustainable production across the food system
Protect responsible fisheries management
Treat animals humanely and curb the overuse of antibiotics
Reduce the environmental and human health impact of farming and food production

Fairness & Competition
We support policies that:
Level the playing field for producers
Respect the rights of food and farm workers
Promote the economic growth of local and regional food systems

Here are some of the ways that this Administration’s regulatory rollbacks have affected everyone within our food system—from workers to producers to consumers.
Nutrition & Health

Access to safe and healthy food is under attack.
Federal actions have lowered school nutrition standards, removed important food safety protections, endangered nutrition assistance programs, and delayed progress on food labeling transparency.
Rollbacks of nutrition standards in the National School Breakfast and School Lunch Program will allow more sodium, more sugar, and fewer whole grains on kids’ plates.
The Administration’s proposed budget endangers successful, vital food assistance programs through funding cuts and false stories about SNAP beneficiaries.
The Administration’s delay in requiring an updated Nutrition Facts label keeps consumers in the dark about critical information on the food they are buying, including added sugar and sodium, chemicals and dyes, and serving recommendations.
"We can’t put off paying my mom’s medical bills and her oxygen, so we struggle to get enough to eat – especially since losing our food stamps the last time my mom was in the hospital. She couldn’t get the paperwork in on time and every time she tries to reapply, something goes wrong."

Access to safe and healthy food is under attack
http://foodpolicyaction.org/state-of-the-plate/
Federal actions have lowered school nutrition standards, removed important food safety protections, and delayed progress on labeling transparency. This Administration has proposed cuts to vital nutrition assistance programs and signaled its intent to get beneficiaries off the rolls by any means necessary. Below are a few of the most egregious changes.
Federal rollbacks of school meal nutrition standards allow more sodium, more sugar, and fewer whole grains on kids’ plates as part of the National School Breakfast and School Lunch Program. Despite the fact that the vast majority of schools have successfully met the phased-in nutrition standards set in 2010 -- the first nutrition standard update to school meals since 2005 -- USDA has congratulated itself on loosening this rule, rather than providing technical assistance to schools who are having challenges. Read more about this rollback and learn what you can do about it at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Pew Charitable Trusts.
Food assistance programs are in danger of being weakened or cut, as indicated by The Administration’s proposed budget in May of 2017 that would have slashed USDA programs and USDA administrators reiterating common myths about SNAP. The USDA's Food and Nutrition Services administrator even penned a disturbing memo calling for greater focus on self-sufficiency and opened comments to the public about limiting the program, despite USDA's own data that show that the vast majority of SNAP recipients who can work already do. Read more about these potential changes from Mother Jones or National Public Radio.
The Administration’s delay in requiring an updated Nutrition Facts label keeps consumers in the dark about information like added sugar in the food they are buying. This rule was supposed to go into effect in July 2018, and has been delayed by an additional two years despite growing consumer concern about added sugars in their food. Read more about this delay from the Center for Science in the Public Interest and Forbes magazine.
The USDA is considering increasing the speed allowed in poultry and pork packing plants. They have made comments supporting the increased speed of processing lines, which would make workers process more birds per minute in an already hazardous job environment. These breakneck speeds are unsafe for workers, increase the risk of foodborne illness, and encourage inhumane practices. Read more about this change from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the Consumer Federation of America, and National Public Radio.
The USDA has begun the process to allow chicken imported from China to be sold in the United States as having undergone “equivalent” food safety controls as poultry plants in the U.S., despite food safety advocates urging that agricultural trade agreements with China should not inappropriately influence the Food Safety Inspection Service’s objective assessment of safety. Read more about the change from the Consumer Federation of America, Washington Post, or National Public Radio.
The FDA announced that it will disband the Food Advisory Committee, which provides scientific advice as needed on food safety and pathogens, risks to the population, and emerging hazards. This was the only advisory committee on food among the many advisory committees commissioned by FDA, which speaks poorly of the FDA’s priorities. Read more about this change from the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
The USDA shifted an office working on international food safety into its trade mission area. The Agriculture Department moved the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which works with international agencies to set standards for food safety and purity, out of the Food Safety Inspection Service into the new Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs office. Outside advocates and even Food and Drug Administration officials expressed alarm at whether this new department would be able to successfully protect international standards under the direction of Undersecretary Ted McKinney, who previously worked for a veterinary pharmaceutical company.

Healthier Farming & Fishing
Decades of progress in sustainable farming, fisheries management, and clean water protections are being unraveled.
The Administration has enacted sweeping measures to eliminate rules that protect human health and the long-term viability of our soil, water, and oceans.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reversed a ban on a dangerous pesticide that has lifelong effects of brain development in children despite deep concern from scientists and physicians.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) withdrew a proposed rule to improve standards for humane production of organic eggs, despite protests from organic producers and consumers that this withdrawal severely weakens the integrity of the organic program.
A Presidential executive order directed the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers to repeal a pollution prevention rule, exposing upstream water sources to toxic contaminants that flow into larger bodies and sources of our drinking water.
"It makes no sense that the Trump Administration would pursue actions that could damage a marketplace that is giving American farmers a profitable alternative, creating jobs, and improving the economies of our rural areas."
— Organic Trade Association Read More: http://foodpolicyaction.org/state-of...rming-fishing/

http://foodpolicyaction.org/state-of...ng-fishing/The federal government should support policies that help farmers, fishermen, and other food producers make a sustainable living that doesn’t hurt the environment or endanger consumers. Unfortunately, this Administration has chosen sweeping measures to eliminate protections and put agribusiness interests ahead of the health of workers and consumers.
The EPA reversed a planned ban on the highly toxic insecticide chlorpyrifos. This pesticide, commonly sprayed on fruit and vegetable crops, can harm children’s brain development even at low levels. The EPA had previously noted that chlorpyrifos levels in food and water routinely exceed safe levels, and pose an even greater risk to agricultural workers and their families. This reversal came after EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt met with a Dow Chemical executive, and despite urging from the American Academy of Pediatrics for a ban. Read more from the Environmental Working Group, Natural Resources Defense Council, and The New York Times.
The USDA withdrew a requirement for organic livestock and poultry producers to give animals more room and access to the outdoors. These National Organic Program rules have been in development for ten years, and were welcomed by many organic producers to enforce higher standards of animal welfare. Consumers are increasingly concerned about animal welfare, and believe that when they buy organic they can trust that these animals were treated well. Weakening organic standards misleads consumers and hurts producers who put the time and money into getting that USDA Organic certification. Read more about this rule from the Organic Trade Association, the Humane Society, and Civil Eats.
The Administration issued an executive order directing EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw a Clean Water Rule that would limit pollution in smaller streams feeding into larger waterways. This repeal could deny clean water protections for over 100 million Americans, and will especially harm rural residents who rely on individual wells for their water supply. Read more about this rule from the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Harvard University Law School Environmental Law Program.
The Administration has taken unprecedented steps to get involved in rolling back fisheries protections, including the decision by the Commerce Department to ignore its own Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s recommendations on catch limits for declining fish stocks. This and other changes to catch limits and protections signal the administration’s commitment to putting big business interests ahead of small fishermen and long-term viability of fisheries. Read more about this intervention from the Boston Globe.
The Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service withdrew a proposed rule to limit “bycatch” killing of whales, dolphins, and turtles in Pacific fisheries. Without proper precautions, swordfish nets can entangle and kill these larger species, whose populations are small and who play a crucial role in the sustainability of the fisheries ecosystem. Read about this rule from the Harvard University Law School Environmental Law Program, or in the Los Angeles Times.
The Administration repealed a rule that would keep mining companies from dumping rubble and industrial by-products into valleys and waterways. Known as the Stream Protection Rule, it aimed to protect human and environmental health from exposure to heavy metals like selenium, mercury, and arsenic, that can result from the wholesale demolition and dumping done by mountaintop removal mining. Read more about this repeal from the Natural Resources Defense Council or in The Hill.
The Administration’s choice to head the EPA, Scott Pruitt, has opposed the mission of the agency since his time as Attorney General of Oklahoma. He now estimates that during this Administration, the EPA staff will be cut by nearly 50 percent. This reckless reduction includes scientists, researchers, and staff providing technical assistance to protect human and environmental health. Read more from Environmental Working Group.
The Administration plans to open nearly 90 percent of federal waters to oil and gas drilling by private energy companies. Coastal communities, fishermen, environmental groups, and state governors from both parties oppose drilling off of their coasts. Potential oil spills put our food chain at risk and endanger coastal businesses and families that rely on these waters for their livelihoods. Read more from the Natural Resources Defense Council and the New York Times.

Food Production, Markets, and Economic Impact http://foodpolicyaction.org/state-of...s-competition/
Farmers and food workers deserve a level playing field, a safe work environment, and the opportunity to sell at a fair price. The Administration has scorned these basic rights for farmers and ignored the vital role that food and farm workers play in our economy. Instead, the repealed rules have benefited a handful of the largest meat and poultry companies, made it more difficult for restaurant workers to protect their rights, and delayed sensible safeguards for farmworkers applying pesticides. The President and his senior leaders have expanded the push to deport as many immigrants as possible leaving many food and farm workers in immigration limbo not knowing if or when they might be deported. These policies have left unpicked food rotting in fields and restaurants short-handed.
Secretary of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue withdrew new rules that would give smaller livestock farmers and contract poultry growers power under the Packers and Stockyards Act. As it currently stands, a handful of large meat and poultry processors have overwhelming economic power to set prices and contract terms, and to retaliate against farmers who speak out. These abuses, and farmers’ limited legal options for protecting their livelihoods, are severe and well-documented. Additionally, Secretary Perdue has chosen to abolish the Grain Inspectors, Packers, and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) and entrust the Agricultural Marketing Service with enforcement. AMS officials are charged with promoting and often go on to work for multinational poultry and livestock processors, creating a direct conflict of interest with GIPSA’s role as a watchdog for industry abuses. Read more about this rule from the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, Organization for Competitive Markets, and Politico.
The impact of the Administration's immigration policies has been felt deeply in immigrant communities by food workers. The Administration's indiscriminate and sweeping crackdowns have terrorized immigrant communities and negatively impacted many producers who rely on them. In part because of this enforcement, the H-2A guest worker visa program has grown rapidly, without any increase in resources or oversight to keep up the program's modest worker protections. Immigrants, both documented and undocumented, are a key part of the food system, particularly on farms. Any solution to immigration policy should recognize the rights and dignity of the workers and their families who help put food on Americans’ tables. Read more about this problem from the International Business Times, National Public Radio, Newsweek, and Mother Jones.
The EPA delayed the implementation of a revised rule that includes worker protections from pesticide exposure. This rule was created under the previous administration in response to incidents where poor training led to toxic pesticide exposure for workers. The EPA is also preparing to roll back other crucial protections from pesticide exposure, including rules for children handling pesticides, the right to information on pesticide exposure, and safety measures for surrounding residents. and the lack of any restriction preventing children under 18 from applying these chemicals. Some pesticides, such as chlorpyrifos, can cause lifelong neurological problems from improper exposure. Read more about this reversal from Farmworker Justice, Environmental Working Group, EarthJustice, and the Huffington Post.
The Administration’s Department of Labor is promoting a new rule that would allow restaurants to take ownership of employee tips and decide their distribution or even keep them. This reverses a forty-year-old precedent that tips are the property of the employee who earned them, unless there is a documented agreement in place on how they will be distributed. While some restaurants claim they need this practice to increase wages for kitchen staff, giving owners control of over $5 billion annually is an opening for abuse against workers. Read more about this change from the Washington Post, National Public Radio, and MarketWatch.
The Administration implemented new rules that restrict workers’ ability to file complaints against fast-food chain employers. Many large companies, particularly restaurant chains, use franchise ownership or contractors as a key part of their business. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) had previously considered these corporations and their franchises to be “joint employers,” because the corporation dictates standards for the independent owners and by extension all of their employees. The new ruling states that NLRB will no longer consider operations like fast-food franchise restaurants to be joint employers, making it possible for massive companies to benefit from a standardized workforce without having the responsibility to bargain or live up to agreements with these employees. Read more about this change from Oxfam America and in the New York Times.
The Administration’s Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue implemented a reorganization of USDA offices that abolishes the position of Undersecretary for Rural Development and eliminates rural development issues as a key mission area within USDA. After vocal pushback from rural development advocates, Secretary Perdue created an Assistant Secretary position reporting directly to the Secretary. Eliminating rural development as a mission area and shifting these resources to export trade to benefit the largest agribusinesses is the wrong direction for USDA. Read more about this reorganization from the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition and Harvest Public Media.
The Administration has failed to fill crucial Senate-confirmed leadership positions at the Department of Agriculture after a year in office. Of the 13 positions, only four have been confirmed, seven have no submitted nominee, and two more have been delayed due to concerns over nominees’ lack of qualification, positions, and ethical issues. Sam Clovis, a nominee for USDA’s chief scientist, withdrew after a vocal outcry about his lack of scientific background, a history of racist comments, and involvement in questionable campaign practices in 2016. Read more from the Partnership for Public Service and the Washington Post.

Standards for workers’ rights and fair competition for farmers have been weakened.
Farmers and food workers rely on a level playing field, safe working conditions, and diverse opportunities to survive and prosper, but this Administration has scorned these basic rights for farmers and ignored the vital role that food and farm workers play in our economy.
The USDA sided with the largest meatpacking companies at the expense of small producers by withdrawing rules to enforce fair competition and by eliminating the agency that polices deceptive and anti-competitive practices.
Immigration crackdowns and divisive rhetoric from the Administration have inspired fear and uncertainty among food and farm workers.
The EPA is delaying the implementation of a new rule that includes worker protections from pesticide exposure.
"The abuses occur every day. These companies are shameful."

More environmental havoc under the Trump Administration can be prevented
Help stop the Industrialization of wild Alaska
Wilderness Watch 1/30/18

Urgent action needed to keep a 211-mile long industrial road from jeopardizing wildlife and wilderness in the southern Brooks Range in Alaska!
Your comments are needed by Wednesday, January 31
The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA), an Alaska state agency, has proposed building a road through the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve (and adjacent to the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Gates of the Arctic Wilderness) to the so-called Ambler Mining District in order to facilitate hard rock mining. The road would benefit a private Canadian company at the expense of wildlife habitat and Wilderness.

Please tell the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service that you are opposed to this potentially destructive (and unnecessary) road.

The proposed 211-mile road would stretch west from the Dalton Highway (aka the Haul Road to the North Slope) to the mining claims. Along the way it would cross Gates of the Arctic National Preserve and the Kobuk Wild and Scenic River, both ecologically significant public lands. The road would also bisect a wide swath of the southern Brooks Range, which is home to grizzly bears, wolves, Dall sheep, moose, wolverines, and three different caribou herds.

Wildernesses in Alaska, even those as large as Gates of the Arctic, derive much of their extraordinary values from the expanse of wildlands surrounding them. They are islands of Wilderness, albeit large ones surrounded by a sea of equally wild and spectacular landscapes that are critical to maintaining the integrity of these great places.

The route would cross nearly 3,000 streams, 11 major rivers, and 1,700 acres of wetlands, impacting habitat that is vital to the health of whitefish, sheefish, salmon and other species, which are in turn vital subsistence and cultural resources for local or downriver communities.

AIDEA estimates the total cost of building, operating and maintaining the proposed road will be $844 to $906 million, though the actual cost will likely be much higher. Although the plan designates it as a private toll road, after the road is built pressure would surely mount to open it to the public, compounding the negative impacts to this great wild expanse.

Analysis of the road project's environmental impact is just beginning. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to consider all the environmental and social impacts of a proposal before issuing a permit. The Bureau of Land Management is now in the process of preparing an Environmental Impact Statement analyzing the proposed road. Currently the project is in the "scoping" stage, the first step in the NEPA process, in which BLM will collect information to analyze in its environmental impact statement.

For more information:

• BLM website

• The National Park Service Ambler Mining District Industrial Access Project Environmental and Economic Analysis

Please tell the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service that you are opposed to this potentially destructive (and unnecessary) road. https://wildernesswatch.salsalabs.or...1-7278b969933e

President Trump's State of the Union Address

Don't Stand for Drilling in our Oceans
Sierra Club
https://sierra.secure.force.com/acti...ign=newsletter

Trump’s Department of the Interior has proposed opening 90% of US coasts to offshore drilling -- even in states that don't want it. At the same time, Congress is moving to dismantle safety regulations that were enacted after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. They also failed to renew a longstanding oil tax that funds cleanup efforts for oil spills.

It almost sounds too sinister to be true -- they want to open 90% of our coasts to drilling but won't enforce basic safety standards or fund programs to clean up the inevitable spills.

If Trump's plan becomes reality, spills will be inevitable -- and devastating. In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill damaged 1,313 miles of coastline. That's more than the entire length of California, or half the Atlantic coast. Offshore oil spills happen frequently, devastating marine environments, commercial fishing industries, and tourism businesses. Even without spills, offshore oil causes pollution.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is accepting comments on the proposed plan through March 9th. Submit your comment and tell them to keep oil rigs away from our coasts!

Onawah, you and I agree on quite a few matters.
My love affair for the Trump administration appears to be an area we are not in agreement.
I see a lot of nit-picky posts on this thread.
Where folks would like to see their own personal agendas given attention because these agendas are near and dear to their heart.
But in my mind there is really only one agenda we have to worry about if immanent depopulation of the planet is to be avoided, and that is globalism.
Globalism = One World Government
Globalism = Depopulation agendas using war, disease and internment camps. Possibly AI terminators and cloned super soldiers.
Globalism = Pedophilia and child sacrifice
Globalism = Worshiping ET's as dark gods and a return to multi-God worship as we see in Greek and Roman cultures.
Globalism = World War III and unleashing technology not known to exist by the main stream including earth quake technology
Globalism = Unleashing earthquake technology on multiple fronts. USA, RUSSIA, CHINA and probably others. A breaking of the world. Edgar Cayce's prophecy of the shifting of the axis. Massive flooding, continents rising out of the ocean, and sinking into the ocean, civilization as we know it ending.

So with all of this in mind, I care not for matters that may be deemed a distraction to the elephant in the room, which is globalism.
Nothing else matters right now.
Just my opinion.

[KiwiElf]

You can add me to that opinion, DNA - (gee, what a lonely thread this is... I wonder why? )

[Praxis]

Do you hear that people?

The wars in Afghanistan IRaq and Syria are nit picky.

Expanding Gauntanamo Bay and changing the rules of engagement in those theaters are nit picky.

Maybe if someone in their families is put in Guantanomo Bay, then they may care.
Maybe if someone in their family becomes collateral damage from a drone strike, they may care.

This SOTU was trump owning the wars and becoming the deep state out in the open.

[onawah]

I don't look in the ranks of politicians for my heroes, and I don't look for agreement from others.
I think much pro-Trump opinion is being created and promoted in an ever more skillful way (trumping even the Obama Admin, and that's saying a lot) by one faction of the elite that has currently gained the edge over the other leading faction.
And people are being just as hoodwinked now as they ever were, just in a different way.
But I see nothing nitpicky about this video:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_Hmg9geOzM0

...or about the fact that Trump's Admin is paving the way for destroying much more of the environment via fracking and off-shore drilling, that they are destroying the hard won standards for infrastructure, food production and organic standards, farming and fishing, that they are cutting back benefits for the elderly, sick and starving, many children among them, and rattling sabers the waypoliticians always do.
Trump's Admin is doing some good things, they have to, if only to save their own skins.
It doesn't mean all that other stuff isn't happening too, and won't continue to happen as long as enough people remain silent.

I see a lot of nit-picky posts on this thread.
Where folks would like to see their own personal agendas given attention because these agendas are near and dear to their heart.
But in my mind there is really only one agenda we have to worry about if immanent depopulation of the planet is to be avoided, and that is globalism.
Globalism = One World Government
Globalism = Depopulation agendas using war, disease and internment camps. Possibly AI terminators and cloned super soldiers.
Globalism = Pedophilia and child sacrifice
Globalism = Worshiping ET's as dark gods and a return to multi-God worship as we see in Greek and Roman cultures.
Globalism = World War III and unleashing technology not known to exist by the main stream including earth quake technology
Globalism = Unleashing earthquake technology on multiple fronts. USA, RUSSIA, CHINA and probably others. A breaking of the world. Edgar Cayce's prophecy of the shifting of the axis. Massive flooding, continents rising out of the ocean, and sinking into the ocean, civilization as we know it ending.

So with all of this in mind, I care not for matters that may be deemed a distraction to the elephant in the room, which is globalism.
Nothing else matters right now.
Just my opinion.

I think much pro-Trump opinion is being created and promoted in an ever more skillful way (trumping even the Obama Admin, and that's saying a lot) by one faction of the elite that has currently gained the edge over the other leading faction.
And people are being just as hoodwinked now as they ever were, just in a different way.
But I see nothing nitpicky about this video:

I listen to Alex Jones everyday, literally everyday.
I think I'm pretty aware of Alex's opinion regardless of what your hit piece says.
People pick and choose things he says and place them out of context.
I'm much more concerned with what I hear from Alex on a day to day basis versus some cut and paste job.

You talk about one leading faction over another.
I don't think you get it.
I repeated Globalism over and over again to make a singular point.
Dare I say Globalism again.
Trump is fighting Globalism.
You will never understand the truth until you understand the goals of the elite.
They have ALL the money.
They have ALL the land.
Now they have the technology to increase their life spans.
They want the earth for themselves and their descendants.

Some of the elite are vampire satanists.
Others are environmentalists concerned about the human race and the planet earth.
They do not care about more money and power.
They care about one thing right now.
Depopulation.
These elite are convinced that the earth will not be habitable in a few generations if something isn't done about the ever increasing human population.
They are going to kill 95% of the people on the planet and rule the remaining five percent in some kind of technological mind controlled Aldous Huxley "brave new world" way.

You do not get it.
I'll say it ten thousand times.
You will never get it until you understand the depopulation agenda.
Everything else you have mentioned is absolutely pointless if you do not understand this.
Bill and Kerry's research has pointed to this all along.
No one wants to hear it.
Bill is so sure this is about to take place he is kicking it on a mountain top in Ecuador.
You think he is living there for the weather? Bill please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

Pipelines running through North Dakota don't matter.
Drilling for oil in the ocean doesn't matter.
Sleeping with porn stars at the age of 60, guess what? It doesn't matter.

When I see folks in the alternative side exposed to the information we have been exposed to I'm lost for how and why they are some how so impervious to the obvious.
I will not give any response on this thread again, the title is something I disagree with so much I see no reason to give this title a viewing by having responded on it.
