Free trade threatens American food supply

The recent and ongoing outrage of Chinese rat poison turning up in Canada's Menu Foods pet products helps to make the case that so-called “free trade” agreements (NAFTA-style agreements are not “free” at all from a consumer standpoint) are a serious threat to our food supply-much more so, I believe, than bioterrorism. This threat was foretold by Ralph Nader and others in a 1993 compendium of writings published by Earth Island Press titled “The Case Against Free Trade.” Please obtain a used copy of this book online and you will agree with me that it is prophetic-everything predicted in that book is now materializing, in part because the mainstream media has been so successful in its hard-driving campaign to marginalize the popular anti-globalist movement.
