The Center for Food Safety Snaps FDA Out of It

Pink slime and genetically labeled foods get a big snap and slap from Center for Food Safety.  Who is the Center for Food Safety?

The Center for Food Safety (CFS) is a non-profit public interest and environmental advocacy membership organization established in 1997 by its sister organization, International Center for Technology Assessment, for the purpose of challenging harmful food production technologies and promoting sustainable alternatives. CFS combines multiple tools and strategies in pursuing its goals, including litigation and legal petitions for rulemaking, legal support for various sustainable agriculture and food safety constituencies, as well as public education, grassroots organizing and media outreach.

Kataryna Rowkowsky  staff attorney for Center for Food Safety will talk to us about what foods to avoid, the future of our food and how you can get involved, stop the madness and start the movement towards consumer rights.  We have the right to know whats in our food!

Kateryna works on litigation related to food and agricultural policy, seeking to ensure government accountability in the regulation and oversight of new food technologies and industrial agriculture.  Cases she has worked on include Monsanto Co. v. Geertson Seed Farms, 130 S. Ct. 2743 (2010) before the United States Supreme Court, which involved the unlawful deregulation of genetically engineered alfalfa, a staple feed for dairy cows.  Her other matters involve regulation of genetically engineered crops and animals, factory farm oversight, seed patenting, and organic standards.
