This web site has been designed to bring attention to some very important matters that affect everyone's quality of life.
It is also designed to give you a say in letting our government know they are not fully protecting your right to safe food.
What most people don't realize is that the U.S. Congress has written and rewritten laws that address many quality of life issues, such as the Sanitation Transportation Food Laws.
Some in Congress recognized that the safety of our food has been called into question due to unsafe transportation practices, especially in the trucking industry. I believe the American people are being poisoned without their knowledge but not without the knowledge of the U.S. Congress as they continue to rewrite these laws. The U.S. Department of Transportation and other agencies that are there to uphold the laws written for transportation are not honoring the current laws that were written to protect us. They are upholding the 1967 laws, which do not prevent unsafe transportation practices that have a potential to contaminate our food.
Another issue is polystyrene (Styrofoam) food containers. There are a number of cities, counties and even states that have ban the use of a polystyrene food containers as well as other polystyrene products. The main reason that these municipalities have ban the use of polystyrene is how it fills our landfills and the length of time it takes to break down. They are also worried about the chemicals that polystyrene breaks down into getting into our water supply.
This Link has been created to educate State, County and City Representatives for TWO purposes:
First is to give them Credible Medical Evidence that shows Polystyrene Food Containers are toxic and cause Health Concerns like Autism, Depression and Diabetes.
Second to help them Ban Polystyrene and some Plastics so they can eliminate or at least bring down the cost of their Waste (Trash) that will help the Environmental Issues they are having.
I want to post this meeting of the Pittsfield Green Commission - May 19, 2014 to show that there are many people interested in banning polystyrene Food Containers because of their toxicity. I had a very hard time with my presentation because of odors in the room affecting my nervous system. However, the other presentations were very good and the presentations given by the chemist and the dart container company representative were lacking. My presentation was focused on the Health Care of our children! The CDC and FDA state NO Studies have been done on styrene and children’s health. Yet, here is some very important information about our children’s healthcare, especially Neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorder, mental retardation, and cerebral palsy.

Episode: Doctor Hotspot
Using medical billing data in Camden, N.J., Dr. Jeffrey Brenner mapped out "hot spots" of the impoverished city's most costly patients. By targeting unique care -- including home visits and social workers -- at high-cost patients, he developed a program that he argues has both lowered health care costs and provided better care in Camden. But can his model work for the rest of the nation

Democrats concerned Republicans are poisoning them because the Republicans switched the cafeteria back to Styrofoam. Yet, the Democrats I spoke to (about 10) were not Responsive in Sponsoring a bill to stop you from being poisoned
