Subject: Fw: public comment on federal register are there nutritious foods being producedin america any more or cheap crap poison

youi cant get "healthy" food to eat in america these days. our food is controlled by big time ag profiteers who are throwing out very unhealthy food for americans to eat. americans have 248 toxic chemicals in their bodies because of the unhealthy food production system in america. for example the dairy council is pushing aspartama in milk WITHOUT LABELLING IT SO THEY CAN SCAM AMERICAN CONSUMERS. BIG AG, USDA, FDA AND EPA HAVE GANGED UP TO ALL ENABLE UNHEALTHY FOOD - BRUTALIZED FARM ANIMALS FED ENDLESS ARSENIC AND OTHER TOXICS TO MAKE THEM GROW FAST AND UNHEALTHFULLY SO THAT THEY ARE SICK ANIMALS DROWNED IN ANTIBIOTICS. PLANTS GROWN IN TOXIC PESTICIDES THAT THEN END UP IN AMERICAN STOMACHS GUTS AND KILL THE COLONS OF AMERICANS - CDC DOESNT EVEN RECOGNIZE THE HORROR OF LIFE LONG COLON ISSUES FOR AMERICANS - AND THAT COMES FROM THE HORROR OF WHAT IS BEING PRODUCED AS FOOD IN AMERICA THESE DAYS. 

 

CDC IS SUCH A FAKE, COMING UP WITH THESE FREE SPENDING DO NOTHING PROJECTS THAT WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP AMERICANS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A WASTED SPENDING OF AMEICAN TAX DOLLARS. CDC NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN. IT HAS LOUSY MGT AND LOUSY IDEAS FOR AMERICA. IT IS TOO MUCH OF A WIMP TO BE HONEST ABOUT AMERICAN FOOD POISONS THESE DAYS. CDC DOESNT EVEN RECOGNIZE THE REALITY OF 2013 FOOD PRODUCTION. IT IS LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD AND WHY SHOUDL WE FUND IT WITH TAX DOLLARS ANYMORE. THE BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE ZERO AND THIS ENTIRE AGENCY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. IT IS NOT DOING A THING FOR AMERICA.

 

INVEIGLIING EMPLOYERS WHO HAVE TROUBLE PAYING THEIR TAXES THESE DAYS IS NO WAY TO APPROACH THIS ISSUE. IT IS JUST PLAIN STUPID. THIS COMMENT IS FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD. JEAN PUBLIC   JEAN PUBLIC

 Dear Ron Otten,

My name is Sherry Ferrier RN and the small public health facility I work for needs help and would like very much to participate in this pilot program. We have approx. 200+ employees and in general as a ‘health care workers’ we have many staff with chronic diseases like: obesity, diabetes, hypertension, CVD and even some who continue to smoke (like respiratory therapists who care for ventilator dependent patients), never mind due to the chronic care required by our patients we have issue with poor mental health, poor morale and increased absenteeism.

Please let me know if there is any more information I should submit in order to be chosen~

Thank you,

Sherry
