The state of Food

 

By D. I. Muhammad 

Back in 2008, I came across a video called, Codex Alimentarius. I watched not fully understanding what I was looking at, other than it was related to the quality and safety of our food.

The name of the video would come back to mind at random times throughout the years. I'm sitting in bed, and the video comes to mind again.  I'm looking it up trying to find it on Google, and then I go through my Playlist, and I come across it. 

The video was filmed in 2005, by a woman names Dr. Rima.  The title of her video, Codex Alimentarius,  is the name of the organization that was created by the United Nations in 1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Did you know that this organization existed, and that they are over the food?  Let me introduce them to you a little more. 

Codex Alimentarius means Food Code. There are currently 188 member countries, who are participating in this along with the United States.   If you're intetested in who the Member countries are, you can go here.

Along with, "230 Observers (intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations and United Nations agencies)." In case you didn't know the United Nations sits in New York City but it is considered a separate entity from the United States.   Let that sit with you for a minute.

Codex Alimentarius is a, "collection of international standards, guidelines and codes of practice to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. Codex standards are used worldwide to harmonize national food safety regulations and are recognized in the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures as the international reference point for food safety."

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are the ones who estabished Codex Alimentarius, "to protect consumer health and promote fair practices in food trade. The legitimacy and universality of Codex standards depend on the effective participation of all Codex Members."

This means these member countries can share their food with us, and we can share our food with them. International trade of goods.

According to the FAO's website this is how they assist Codex to work. "

Codex

Codex standards are based on the best scientific and technical knowledge available. FAO works in collaboration with WHO to provide scientific advice in support of Codex Alimentarius’ standard setting activities, a foundational element of global food safety governance. This includes holding a number of annual expert meetings, including the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Microbiological Risk Assessment (JEMRA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Nutrition (JEMNU), as well as ad hoc expert meetings. FAO and WHO also actively support relevant Codex committees, including those focusing on food additives, contaminants in foods, pesticide and veterinary‑drug residues, and analysis and sampling methods.

FAO’s food safety capacity development activities support developing countries and countries in transition to participate more effectively in Codex and to translate Codex standards into national legislation or regulations through a wide range of activities, both upstream and downstream of standard setting. This support includes:

• assisting countries to formulate national legislation based on Codex, and to implement and enforce food standards harmonized with Codex;
• strengthening national processes for consultation, communication and management of Codex work;
• establishing policy frameworks and the use of Codex as a basis for national food control;
• developing capacities of countries to contribute with data and expertise to the development of scientific opinions that underpin Codex discussions.

These activities are implemented using FAO’s training resources and e-learning courses to strengthen knowledge of Codex rules and procedures and to improve national planning for Codex participation and the preparedness of Codex delegations.

According to Dr. Rima, who travels to attend these meetings, this is not the true purpose of Codex Alimentarius.  According to what she's seen Codex Alimentarius a food codex that regulates only food. Not pharmaticual drugs. She says they go by a standard that is not backed by law. 

She states that Codex is not about peoples health, but profit. 

Dr. Rima goes on to state that 1994 DSSHEA was passed and classifies vegetables and herbs as food. 

"The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 is a U.S. federal law that defines and regulates dietary supplements as a special category of food rather than as drugs. 

Key Provisions of DSHEA

Definition: It defines dietary supplements to include vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and other dietary substances intended to supplement the diet. 
Regulation: It places dietary supplements under the regulatory oversight of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as foods, meaning products do not require FDA approval for safety and efficacy before they are sold. 
Responsibility: It shifts the burden to manufacturers to ensure their products are safe and that label claims are truthful and not misleading. [
Oversight Split: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates the advertising claims of these products. 

Market Impact

Growth: The market expanded from about 4,000 products in 1994 to over 80,000 products today.
Access: It secured continuous consumer access to a wide variety of wellness and nutritional products.
Safety Tracking: Later amendments like the 2006 Consumer Protection Act added mandatory serious adverse event reporting to the FDA."

Dr. Rima calls Codex Napoleonic law.  Codex declared nutrients to be toxic, poison in 1994, whether the nutients were listed on the positive list. Fluoride was on this list as well. You should read what fluoride really is.

"Codex wants to get rid of DSSHEA."

Dr. Rima then speaks about how all food, including organic,  should be irradiated. That there were 12 p.o.p.s, persistent organic pollutants,  banned world wide. and in 1991, 176 countries got together, including the U.S., and said there are 12 really bad chemicals.  9 of the 12 worst are pesticides.  Codex has brought back 7 of the 9 p.o.p.s.  Vitamin and mineral guideline alone on December 31, 2009 when Codex goes into effect a minimum  3 billion deaths through starvation or preventable diseases of simple nutrition. Others by Cancer, cardiovascular disease.

All countries have to be Codex compliant not to get hit by sanctions.

Dr. Rima has a vast amount of information on Codex on her site.

Her videos below go into more detail. I was just giving the highlighted parts of the videos. 

Understand this is a whole other level of messing with our food supply. We are talking about increased diseases, herbs that will be considered illegal. Foods that you think  are whole-foods, but they are really foods covered in pesticides, that have been heavily irradiated.  Which means free radicals in the body that cause the cancer, auto-immune diseases.  Foods not labeled as gmo.  It's a law that foods that are gmo be labeled gmo. When Codex really hits that label will be illegal. 

Like most of their shenanigans,  I DO NOT CONSENT.

Everything I bring to you. I bring to raise your awareness not fear, so you can move accordingly.
