NZ food bill to make growing food a government privilege rather than a human right Wednesday, December 07, 2011 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) The God-given human right to freely cultivate food is under attack in New Zealand (NZ) as special interest groups and others are currently attempting to push a "food security" bill through the nation's parliament that will strip individuals of their right to grow food, save seeds, and even share the fruits of their labor with friends and family members.
In accordance with the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Codex Alimentarius scheme for global food control, the NZ Food Bill, if passed, will essentially transfer primary control of food from individuals to corporations under the guise of food safety. And unless massive public outcry and awakened consciences within the NZ government are able to put a stop to it, the bill could become law very soon.
According to NZ Food Security, a group working to protect the food freedom of New Zealanders, the bill will turn growing and sharing food into a government-granted privilege rather than a human right. It will also make it illegal to distribute any type of food based on the bill's language. This includes seeds, nutrients, natural medicines, minerals, and even water -- without expressed government permission.
You see, agribusiness giants like Monsanto want full control of the food supply, which means putting an end to small-scale agriculture systems that operate "off the grid," so to speak. This is why they have worked so hard in places like the US to convert conventional, staple crop systems to genetically-modified (GM) ones that are continually reliant upon new seeds and chemical interventions.
As far as enforcement, the NZ bill also authorizes private companies to deploy "Food Safety Officers" that can raid private property without warrant. Not only will these "Food Safety Officers" be permitted to draw weapons against those they are pursuing, but they will also be immune from criminal and civil prosecution for their illegal actions.
What all this means, of course, is that the NZ government may soon be able to arbitrarily decide at any time to restrict individual freedom to plant vegetable gardens and share the produce with their neighbors, for instance. Even "cottage industries," which include at-home food artisans, could be restricted under the new law.

He was a politician, did his mandatory time in parliament, and now one can only assume he is very happily collecting his lifelong pension. Has anyone ever asked him if he isn't? While the Greens "appear" to be doing what's right to many people and no doubt there are many "followers" who have all the best intentions, the politicians at the top level will undoubtedly be as bad as any politician from any party (without going into detail). I eat organically, try my best to live as sustainably as possible, etc, etc but I never trust a greeny & nor should you! :lol: Most "greenies" I've ever come into contact with throughout my life are easily led, narrow-minded and quite hypocritical. They are generally "green" because it's hip. They generally also have never studied the history of "green" politics and all its facets... ranting now so I'll stop there. :mrgreen:
I voted green once because of what I saw as a need to prioritise the environment over human activity.
Then I realised after the fact that the green party enagages in more social engineering than any other party. Their green vaneer covers a very Marxist agenda and I wish I had actually done my homework before voting for them.
It's a pity because their real motives will de-legitimise what is essentially a good and noble cause.
The food bill is full of disinformation on both sides. I recommend that you read it for yourself and make an informed decision either way.

Oh believe me I have read the whole bill already, it is bad news for sure it is also obviously only phase one of what is yet to come and I have also heard it is going to be followed with the natural health bill.
And yeah I hear what your saying about voting green, I always dreamed of being old enough to vote so I could vote green but once I turned 18 I never voted and never will because I don't want to give them my power =p 7 years of non compliance =p have you guys/girls heard of the freeman movement ?
Been saying for ages that the inherent (probably not the best word) danger with "waking up" the masses is that they will never grasp the true nature of control and therefore may/will end playing right into the hands of those they wish to stop. The hardest thing to get across, which should be the easiest, is that it is a "management structure" including all the usual contingency planning of a "business/corporation" way into the future. But I'm only scratching the surface - the second link (without having looked at everything there) appears to be investigating this all in more detail. Oh, I just realised this is Mary Elizabeth Croft's blog! (multitasking here...) Ok then...
