-Codex establishes standards and guidelines for food, supplements, and food labeling.   FDA and USDA type of bureaucrats represent the countries.  They promote Pharma, Big Ag interests.

-National Health Foundation (NHF) is the only consumer-oriented group keeping an eye on Codex.

-Latest concern of the NHF is the dilution of organic food standards.

-The Poison Papers project shows the regulators have become controlled by the regulated.

-Need to diffuse overarching centralized power down to the local level.  Read Thomas Sowell.

-Fertility rates have dropped due to glyphosate.  Older men have higher sperm counts than young men.  All food is suspect - can't presume any food is safe now.

-Codex is likely unconstitutional in the US, is intertwined with NAFTA.  If countries have a trade dispute involving food, Codex initiates a trade dispute panel.  WTO looks at Codex standard for a particular product and will favor the country following that standard.

-Ractopamine is a muscle-growth altering drug fed to 80% of US pork, but it is banned in 160 countries.  Drug requires 2 weeks for clearance, but is withheld for only 1 day so pigs don't lose their gains in weight from it.  In 2013 the US won permission for Codex to allow a residue level of it.

-Who are the good guys?  If vitamins and minerals - US is the good country.  If contaminants in foods - EU, Russia, India, Iran, some Latin American countries.  NZ and Australia are the worst.

-Codex delegates change over time, which requires continual education by the NHF.

-The US gets delegates from other countries to promote their agenda.

-Russia needs to increase birth rate.  They realize the fertility rate drops tremendously with glyphosate, so they're good at opposing glyphosate.

-GMO labeling in the EU depends on the product.  GMO products are prohibited in the EU, with some leakage around the edges.

-Italians are resisting vaccination laws, which are unconstitutional and violate treaties.

-3 exemptions in most states to vaccinations: medical, philosophical and religious.  In California, legislator Richard Pan spearheaded the removal of philosophical and religious exemptions, and medical is rarely granted.  Doctors get persecuted by the state board if they grant medical exemptions.

-Herd immunity from vaccinations is a false concept.  Need to have the actual disease to acquire immunity.  Most people aren't immune to childhood diseases any more.

-If vaccines are so effective, why are you so afraid my unvaccinated child will hurt your vaccinated child?

-By the time vaccinations came around, the targeted diseases already had a decline of 95-98% in the mortality rate due to improvements in nutrition and sanitation.

-Having measles makes you more resistant to cancer in later life.  Scarlet Fever, TB, and the plague don't have vaccines and they went out of existence in many countries.

-Juan asks about a connection between forced vaccinations and the Affordable Care Act.

-Vaccines lack integrity.  Full of poisons, nanoparticles.

-Italian research scientists Gatti and Montanari discovered all pediatric vaccines in Italy contained nanoparticles, such as inorganic metals, which bind with proteins and aggregate.   The only nanoparticle not sourced from the vaccine material was tungsten carbide, which comes from the needles, and could be removed by subjecting the needles to an ultrasonic bath, which manufacturers don't do.
