For any of you into taking health food and vitamin supplements, frequenting the likes of Holland and Barrett, Julian Graves, then prepare yourselves for a shock come 1 January 2010.

For on that day, the latest roll-out in what is the despicable CODEX ALIMENTARIUS plan will come into being. Now, this sounds so far-fetched that many people dismiss there being a problem by saying "they can't possibly do that". Well, they WILL, unless action is taken.

Codex will effectively make all nutrients (which, being natural, can never be patented) illegal from the beginning of 2010 onwards - except in the most ineffective of dosages.

Have a look at this - the latest codex madness:

Here it is in full:

Tomatoes get international standard

AFP - Friday, July 4 06:35 pm

GENEVA (AFP) - An international standard for tomatoes has been adopted, ending about seven years of intense debates between countries on what qualifies as a proper tomato.

According to the new standard, tomatoes may come in one of four varieties: round, ribbed, oblong or elongated, or cherry tomatoes and cocktail tomatoes.

They must be whole, clean, free from foreign smell, free of pests and fresh in appearance.

"In the case of trusses of tomatoes, the stalks must be fresh, healthy, clean and free of all leaves and other visible foreign matter," according to the so-called Codex standard.

A commission called Codex Alimentarius was created in 1963 by the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and the World Health Organisation to come up with food standards and guidelines on food products.

There are international standards for all kinds of food produce ranging from edam cheese to bananas to fish fillets.

They facilitate trade, as they provide a common interpretation of what constitutes a sound product to importing and exporting countries.

Tom Heilandt, who is a senior food standards adviser at the FAO explained that one such international standard was needed for tomatoes, in order to protect importing countries.

"Many developing countries in particular said that they needed this standard so that they ensure that they would get the right quality of products that they ordered," he said

Or, put it another way:

This is not about just tomatoes, or some types of food. This is about ALL types of food. In a world where more and more people are going starving, this nonsense will lead to even MORE food being thrown away, rather than eaten, because it's the wrong size or shape.

And this is from an EU and a United Nations that was supposed to facilitate trade - look up and see what is happening, folks! And can you possibly find one developing country who has actually ASKED for this type of "help", as the quote suggests? No, of course you can't!

And, "naturally", what will HELP solve this problem? Ah yes. Of course. GM crops, which will be able to be grown to the right size and shape.

From patented seeds. That ALL farmers will have to pay over the odds for. And, of course, there's always those "terminator" seed varieties - designed to grow for just one season, and then not produce more of its own seeds. How will these poor farmers buy more seeds? Of course, that will be by buying MORE patented seeds, once more reducing their self-sufficiency to zero.

By the way, did anyone see coverage of the 35,000+ strong protest in South Korea against the lifting of a ban on imported American beef? The stuff so full of growth hormone that it is believed to be one of the many additional causes of extreme obesity in many Americans?

Here it is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-p ... 491482.stm

Yes, that's Codex in action. South Korea had enough of paying constant fines for keeping this beef out of their food chain. So, they gave in. Yes, that's the "freedom of choice" all countries have under Codex! Oh, and if you go and look at that BBC article, you'll see the picture of the "35,000" people ... looks more like 10 or 20 TIMES that number to me, on the streets protesting!

Think I'm "over-reacting" about food not meeting the Codex standard being pulped? Look at this article, then:

EU forces market trader to pulp thousands of kiwi fruit because they're ONE MILLIMETRE too small

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 12:10 AM on 27th June 2008

A market trader has been banned from selling a batch of kiwi fruits because they are 1mm smaller than EU rules allow.

Inspectors told 53-year- old Tim Down he is forbidden even to give away the fruits, which are perfectly healthy.

The father of three will now have to bin the 5,000 kiwis, costing him £1,000 in lost sales.

Speaking yesterday from the stall in Bristol he has owned for 20 years, Mr Down said: 'It's total nonsense. I work hard enough to make a living without all these bureaucrats telling us what we can and can't sell.

'They're saying I'm a criminal for selling this fruit, but the real crime is that all this fruit will go to waste - all because it's 1mm too small.

'It's a terrible waste, particularly when we're all feeling the pinch from rising food prices and I've got to throw away this perfectly good fruit.'

The case comes only two weeks after the European Commission said it wants to relax rules on misshapen fruit and vegetables.

It could eventually mean an end to notorious bans on straight bananas, curved cucumbers and skinny carrots.

But that will bring little comfort to Mr Down in the meantime.

He took over Percy J Down wholesalers in 1988, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather.

Last week, he ordered 75 boxes of Chilean kiwis from an importer in Kent, paying £525 for the batch of 12,000 fruits.

The kiwis were on sale for 20p each from his 15,000sq ft stall at the Wholesale Fruit Centre in Bristol. Mr Down sold 44 of the boxes and was expecting to make a profit from the remaining 5,000 fruits.

But that was before he received a visit by inspectors from the Rural Payments Agency - part of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

The inspectors conducted a random check to see if Mr Down's produce met strict European laws.

The regulations state that Class II kiwis must weigh a minimum of 62g - around 21/4oz.

But the two-hour inspection revealed that a number of the batch weighed 58g, or about 2oz.

Mr Down said that, in effect, this meant there were a mere 1mm, or 1/25 of an inch, too small in diameter.

Selling them - or giving them away - carries a fine of up to £5,000.

The Rural Payments Agency insists the rules are in place to ensure quality and uniformity.

Barrie Stedman, head of the agency's inspectorate, said: ' Unfortunately the kiwi consignment in question failed to meet the minimum standards for saleable produce, in contravention of EU grading rules.'

He added: 'The trader was offered a number of options, including returning the fruit to the importer.'

Honestly. You just can't make it up! And, as you will see by putting these stories side by side, the tomatoes one shows you there is absolutely NO TRUTH in the Kiwi story's suggestion that the EU will soon be "relaxing" rules on the shape of bananas, cucumbers and carrots ... that's just there to placate you, make you think this is just a minor blip in events - a "silly season" story.

:roll:

"Returning the fruit to the importer", by the way, is NOT an option. What would the importer do with them, as they cannot sell them anywhere else?

Ah yes. BIN THEM ... in a world where the starving will starve even more.

I hope this is helping you see a bigger picture come into focus ...

The net is tightening - we have up to 1 January 2010 until all of these naturally occurring elements will be outlawed by Codex Alimentarius.

You have the evidence of what is happening - those of you who keep saying "they wouldn't do that" ... open your eyes and see the truth!

'The CCNFSDU was all prepared to rubber-stamp its approval on the “Proposed Draft Additional or Revised Nutrient Reference Values for Labelling Purposes in the Codex Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling,” which had been pushed by the delegation of the Republic of Korea and others.l

This document was so astoundingly anti-vitamin and mineral it infuriated the NHF representative, who had to restrain himself from using harsh and insulting words when it came NHF’s turn to speak. Appendix 2 of the document is only two pages, but contains already-low values for each of the Vitamins and Minerals listed in the Appendix (except for Fluoride, which of course has an excessively high value). (To see the document, go to www.thenhf.com/press_releases/Appendix2photo11-09.pdf )

For example, the “scientific” values assigned to Vitamin C were being reduced from an already-low 60 milligrams to an even-lower 45 milligrams! The NRV for magnesium was to be cut from 300 milligrams to 240 milligrams. Niacin’s value was to be chopped from 18 milligrams to 15. These were, and are, absurd numbers, based upon nutritional ignorance.

Over a one-hour period, the NHF took the floor repeatedly to lambast the document and to insist that its adoption would be a public-relations nightmare and make Codex the laughingstock of the World. If anything, NHF said, these numbers must be drastically raised. The argument swirled around the room with the NHF holding firm against comments from many other country delegations, especially Australia (which calls harsher standards "an extra bit of comfort"), all of whom thought that these numbers were perfectly normal! Had NHF not challenged the document, there would have been no sustained opposition to its passage.

Instead, NHF kept unrelentingly hammering at the points it had first raised and answered at every chance the counter-arguments of the document’s proponents. Finally, the Chairman, perhaps in exasperation, suggested that the Committee not advance the document to its next step because there was no consensus! This “compromise” was supported by NHF but opposed by others until, with it still hanging in the balance, the Indian delegation firmly stated its support for NHF’s position and against it advancing. India’s timing was impeccable. That was enough for the Chairman, who quickly concluded the debate and held the document back.

But for the National Health Federation, India, and also Costa Rica and Iraq, this document would have advanced towards a more final, fixed form. Now, it remains in a malleable form that will let it be corrected at next year’s CCNFSDU meeting.'
