Disastrous Bills in Congress

So, there's an uproar in my local Hippie community, and it has a good reason, but that reason is not why the uproar is occurring.
Here is a link to the article that has flooded the tree hugger interweb.
Basically, the author of the article claims that there are several bills currently or soon to be in Congress, drafted by such dreadful food production giants as Monsanto and Tyson that will eliminate all farmers markets and small farms. EE GADS!
Naturally, I want to contact my representatives if this is true. Upon further research, however, I can find no further information than about a gillion links to that one article. Gar.
I looked up each of the bills separately on govtrack - excellent site by the way.
One of the bills does not even seem to exist - some SR 425. The others, however, do pose a significant problem that everyone should be aware of.

HR 759, which is currently on committee, requires that all food companies (and this, by my understanding of the language, would include all vendors of food, including me selling eggs to my neighbor, and my local farmers) would have to obtain accreditation - anyone who's ever taken a glance at Organic certification laws knows just how prohibitive the expense of this is sure to be.
This bill also allows the FDA or the CDC (geez!) to shut down any facility who refuses to be inspected for these guidelines or who refuses to attain accreditation. So anyone who cannot afford it (meaning, the girl a few blocks over who sells me eggs) will be fined and terminated. Probably by Arnold. The bill specifically includes the sale of eggs, this is not just me overreacting.
One thing that I appreciate about this bill, however, is that it imposes standards for the cosmetic industry; not accreditation standards, rather labeling standards. Cosmetic safety is an issue very close to my heart, and I hold all companies in contempt who do not disclose their ingredients, especially when over 99% of cosmetics are incredibly toxic, even in extremely low doses absorbed through the skin - please see Skin Deep's Cosmetic Database if you doubt me, and look long and hard at all the studies that have been done on each of the ingredients you search for - some will be positive, but most will be disastrous.
Either way, I cannot support this bill in its current form because of the ridiculous accreditation enforcement it outlines.
This is just another way to shove the government into the hole left by our receding freedom.

HR 814 would impose a traceability system for all animals in the food industry - and it is explicitly stated that any animal being used somewhere in the food system that was ever not in the trace system could not be used, and the perpetrator would be subject to penalties including fines and closure. GOOD GOSH! It doesn't even leave a loophole for the sale of food - I can only infer then that if I want to shoot an animal and eat it, I would have to make sure it was traceable first, so I'd have to pay for a damn chip in it. Are you freaking JOKING?!
Though clearly that's not the intent of the law, it is not excluded, not to mention the fact that this is flagrant trampling of private business. For the love.

HR 875 - I do not have a good grasp of this one because it has no summary, and the full text of the bill is wicked long - I did read it, but I cannot understand it well, due to too many references to outside bills and texts. But I'm pretty sure I've read enough at this point, and I HATE HATE HATE the idea of expanding the influence of the wicked and impotent FDA, which it clearly does.

So - the information on the internet about these bills is sensationalist and exaggerated, however I absolutely agree that they must be stopped. I cannot ascertain whether they are in fact written by Monsanto and Tyson, but that would just pour more fuel on my fire - go wikipedia those nasties if you want to learn what Hell will be like.

Please, contact your representatives - do it by phone if at all possible. And contact ALL of them, not just one!
