| Message | Current: "there are no food standards provisions" ... which means there food standards, but as we may have different provisions from a region to another, country to another, north to south etc we can introduce only these provisions already in use by our country - which is senseless as we already use food standards provisions, but we (only) don't have them "billed" ... these are provided by the producers in accord with the security regarding health of the consummers. The only food standards provisions we may think of are these "not respected" by "not respectable" providers ... This bill will try to remove the check of the food standards from the level of producers to the level of providers and this may only reffer to a bad imported food (system) we may have or to a better protection we try to offer to producers from our own country - blaming the providers of exported food, instead of blaming producers of the food - these making from "food" a criminal activity rather than one meant to protect consummers. I prefere to improve the imported food systems directly and to upgrade this bill directly to the level of "a new commision for food standards provisions" with teritorrial activities all over the country provinces ... make a resolution in this direction and will be voted YES I can ad that the provisions are a very good source of corruption inside the legislative rooms as long as they are oftenly asked to vote in favour of some standards provisions and against others. While being discussed in a permanent commission aside from the legislative representations the results will stand in the favor of the traditional markets and producers without making producers to fight for unreasonable standards for a country we may have also poor also rich ... depending from where you look to it. I don't say that I am not voting YES, I say you should recheck and propose a resolution for a commission of control and food standards provisions. (american way ... is it? ... bah, they chosed this way in oil business, in food business they attacked the way readable in your proposal, and you see McDonald as a great success because it fights against standard provisions with a small slice of food, try a New Chain of Restaurants ... pretty much harder, is it?) Food is important resource of neighborhoods around your place ... this is our best way ... provisions make neighborhoods already known before you want to get there ... so, why to go?? Cultures lives only on bases of free traditional food chains or travels for it ... and it seems that you drive us to the Big but small slice of McDonald everywhere ... sorry! |

| Message | If we don't enforce food standards provisions ... and you don't find any other option as resolution for commission for food standards provisions and food control, then there is still a chance to see in this law alternative a better one: "The government recommends food safety standards, but they are not enforced upon businesses." Which we promote today for debate, but we will not put it on vote before you try a resolution act - as I said - so, hurry up or this is the only way we go ... with healthy mind to get healthy food. |

| Message | The correction you suggest as a need at standards provisions ... I say is at the second article saying about the need of licenses for food sales ... which is different from the way an alternative in our law list says - licensing the vendors ... the vendor has a license of vendor ... if it does can sell airplanes and food, I don't say he can't, but if we need to license something is the Food Sales ... Problems of Mind Manipulation affect so much the language and the cultures that we can read such mistakes or we can still meet fishers-teachers of "future" stupids saying/thinking this way these laws ... If we need to license the Food Sales for a vendor ... the vendor may ask for permission and recommendations from the local authorities and government firstly for Selling, but the Food Sales license is something else which comes later ... after you Sell, you can sell some kinds of goods, like food for example. Food Sales are in accord with recommandations from local cultural authorities (not governmental) and later these recommandations are viewed by a central-country governmental authority from the teritorry (represented downthere with a Trade Center, Commerce Chamber etc) ... The local authorities are only taking into account the central gov. license given for the vendor (himself licensed by the local gov.) ... Hey stop here is too complicated you say ... well this is how will look your provisions ... which mostly must be known and checked by public not by us. We chose to leave schools to the job for us ... and if the local vendors sell food without a central, proper license, but the local gov. has to pay for the errors ... of selling food improperly (cause the license is not important, while the quality of the public service is). Service we get, service we give ... we open schools of vendors ... they take care of the rest ... Yes this bill you proposed is GOOD. YES But you must propose it separately, cause I already voted NO to the first article. |

| Message | Nothing is researched and nothing is banned ... when money talks about war. So, take care with laws which cannot be used as by means of intentions, but by means of illusions ... GM researched ... by who, where, why? |
