"Are they dysfunctional homeless or toxic victims" ?

http://www.angelfire.com/hi/soberskidrow/dfhtv.html
The above story is titled from a quote from Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco speaking at a "Homeless Connect" meeting.

Ironically enough, San Francisco has been chasing the homeless out of their city (see the"A Dream Denied"report). The homeless then flee to neighboring communities. Of whom then pass similar laws to harass the homeless, as reported by the Press Democrat newspaper (htm45).

The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper ran a story that stated, "general assistance rolls for the homeless have been slashed by 73 percent -..." (hrm60) forcing other cities to pass laws against homelessness to divert the onslaught of those fleeing places like San Francisco and Sonoma County (htm45).

You might ask yourself if maybe they are "mentally ill, toxic
victims that might have committed a crime because they are toxic" ?

"FEMA Attorneys: Don't Test for Toxics" by David Michaels
A Washington Post article reveals FEMA's shameful response to word that their
trailers might have been exposing resident to dangerous levels of formaldehyde.
http://thepumphandle.wordpress.com/2007/07/19/fema-attorneys-don%e2%80%99t-test-for-toxics/

Excerpt:

Spencer S. Hsu of the Washington Post reports that:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has suppressed warnings from
its own Gulf coast field workers since the middle of 2006 about suspected health
problems that may be linked to elevated levels of formaldehyde gas released in
FEMA-provided trailers, lawmakers said today.

At a hearing this morning of the House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, investigators released internal e-mails indicating that FEMA lawyers
rejected environmental testing out of fear that the agency would then become
legally liable if health problems emerged among as many as 120,000 families
displaced by Hurricane Katrina who lived in trailers. 

FEMA's Office of General Counsel "has advised that we do not do testing,"
because this "would imply FEMA's ownership of this issue," wrote a FEMA
logistics specialist on June 16, 2006, three months after news reports surfaced
about the possible effects of the invisible cancer-causing compound and one
month after the agency was sued.

Another FEMA attorney on June 15 advised, "[d]o not initiate any testing until we
give the OK. . . . Once you get results and should they indicate some problem, the
clock is running on our duty to respond to them."

Nearly 5,000 pages of documents turned over to the committee "expose an
official policy of premeditated ignorance," the Committee Chairman,
Congressman Henry] Waxman charged., "Senior officials in Washington
didn't want to know what they already knew, because they didn't want
the legal and moral responsibility to do what they knew had to be done."

Who's a  criminal ?
http://blog.myspace.com/toxicreverend

Please see the attached forwarded LA Times news
paper story that declares the vast majority of breast
cancers are due to toxic environmental exposures.
And  that genetics play a much smaller role than
previously thought.  My thoughts are that the issue
of genetics in various diseases is still "misconstrued".

There is a lot of reference material with regard to the
common sources of toxic chemical exposures, on this blog, too. One interview with the EPA says over 70% of exposures are from indoor air polution in our own homes. But another article (reference 144 in a prior blog) interviews a CDC researcher that say's food is the main source of exposure.  A book titled "Diet For A New America" won a Pulitzer Prize and exposed dairy products and meat as being major sources of pesticide exposures.  Many "Environmental Doctors agree with food being the number one source of exposure.  Another book titled, "Fateful Harvest" exposes toxic chemicals being disposed of in fertilizer and and used with even "organic food".  (Baby Green Organic lettuce had the highest levels of perchlorate of all the foods tested).  In prior blogs, I give reference material on medical X-rays increasing the toxicity of toxic chemicals and that X-rays are associated with over 70% of the cases of breast cancer.

I have added some  information to be aware of
  the genetic testing for the ability to detoxify, such

as whar is called APOe.

"Although virtually all women are exposed to the
chemicals, some may be more susceptible because
of differing metabolism or ability to repair DNA".

I would add to that, "the genetic pairing that influences
the immune systems ability to detoxify" , as described at:

I had posted a more in depth comment at the above blog.

   It is my opinion as an Environmental Technologist that this
APOe ( aka Apolipoprotein E)
is just as applicable to Breast Cancer as it is to cardiovascular
problems, macular degeneration, and mental illnesses (to name a few).

In some of the other blogs, I give reports that show medical x-rays can multiply the toxic impact of toxic chemicals and give reference material for 70& of the breast cancer cases being associated with medical x-rays, because of that.

Subject: Common chemicals linked to breast cancer
To: Toxic Reverend

  ..>..>..>..>..>..>

Common chemicals are linked to breast cancer Of the 216 compounds, many in the air, food or everyday items. By, Marla Cone,  , Times Staff Writer May 14, 2007 ..>..>..>..>..>..> Related Stories - Chemical carcinogens - Despite cancer, many keep careers healthy The reports are at http://www.silentspring.org/sciencereview . More than 200 chemicals — many found in urban air and everyday consumer products — cause breast cancer in animal tests, according to a compilation of scientific reports published today. Writing in a publication of the American Cancer Society, researchers concluded that reducing exposure to the compounds could prevent many women from developing the disease. The research team from five institutions analyzed a growing body of evidence linking environmental contaminants to breast cancer, the leading killer of U.S. women in their late 30s to early 50s. Experts say that family history and genes are responsible for a small percentage of breast cancer cases but that environmental or lifestyle factors such as diet are probably involved in the vast majority. "Overall, exposure to mammary gland carcinogens is widespread," the researchers wrote in a special supplement to the journal Cancer. "These compounds are widely detected in human tissues and in environments, such as homes, where women spend time." The scientists said data were too incomplete to estimate how many breast cancer cases might be linked to chemical exposures. But because the disease is so common and the chemicals so widespread, "the public health impacts of reducing exposures would be profound even if the true relative risks are modest," they wrote. "If even a small percentage is due to preventable environmental factors, modifying these factors would spare thousands of women." The three reports and a commentary were compiled by researchers from the Silent Spring Institute, http://www.silentspring.org/  a women's environmental health organization in Newton, Mass.; Harvard's Medical School and School of Public Health in Boston; the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y.; and USC's Keck School of Medicine. Silent Spring Institute Executive Director Julia Brody led the team. In response to the findings, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a breast cancer prevention group that funded the work, pledged an additional $5 million for developing research tools to root out environmental causes. Reviewing hundreds of existing studies and databases, the team produced what it called "the most comprehensive compilation to date of chemicals identified as mammary carcinogens." No new chemical testing was conducted for the reports. The researchers named 216 chemicals that induce breast tumors in animals. Of those, people are highly exposed to 97, including industrial solvents, pesticides, dyes, gasoline and diesel exhaust compounds, cosmetics ingredients, hormones, pharmaceuticals, radiation, and a chemical in chlorinated drinking water. "Almost all of the chemicals were mutagenic, and most caused tumors in multiple organs and species; these characteristics are generally thought to indicate likely carcinogenicity in humans, even at lower exposure levels," they reported. For many of the compounds, the federal government has not used animal breast cancer data when conducting human risk assessments, which are the first step toward regulating chemicals or in setting occupational standards to protect workers. Companies are not required to screen women who work with the chemicals for breast cancer. "Regulators have not paid much attention to potential mammary carcinogens," the researchers wrote. Toxicologists say that other mammals, such as rats and mice, often develop the same tumors as humans do, and that animal tests are efficient means of testing the effects of chemicals. Environmental regulators, however, often want conclusive human data before taking action. Animal studies generally use high doses of a substance to simulate a lifetime of exposure, and then the results are extrapolated to the lower levels that people are exposed to. Ana Soto, a Tufts University professor of cell biology who specializes in cellular origins of cancer and effects of hormone-disrupting contaminants, said there probably was a link between breast cancer and exposures to chemicals in the environment, particularly early in life. "I cannot say I'm convinced, but what I can say is that it's a very likely, very plausible hypothesis," said Soto, who did not participate in the new research. "More and more, cancer looks like an environmental disease." Twenty-nine of the chemicals are produced in volumes exceeding 1 million pounds annually in the United States. Seventy-three are present in consumer products or are food contaminants — 1,4-dioxane in shampoos, for example, or acrylamide in French fries. Thirty-five are common air pollutants, 25 are in workplaces where at least 5,000 women are employed, and 10 are food additives, according to the reports. There are probably many more than 216, the research team said, because only about 1,000 of the 80,000 chemicals registered for use in the United States have been tested on animals to see whether they induce cancerous tumors or mutate DNA. Such tests cost $2 million each. Because epidemiological studies are difficult to conduct and full of uncertainties, human data are "still relatively sparse," the researchers wrote. Only 152 studies worldwide have examined whether women exposed to contaminants are more likely to have breast cancer — compared with nearly 1,500 that have explored the links between diet and the disease — and most of the 216 carcinogens were not included. "Despite this large remaining gap, research in the last five years has strengthened the human evidence that environmental pollutants play a role in breast cancer risk," the researchers wrote. They said the existing studies suggested "substantial public health impact." Human evidence is particularly strong for PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls — compounds widely used in the 1940s to late 1970s that still contaminate fish and other foods — and for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, found in diesel and gasoline exhaust. Solvents in dry cleaning, aircraft maintenance and other jobs also may increase breast cancer risk. Some of the chemicals named as breast carcinogens already are regulated to protect public health, but some, particularly those in consumer products, are not. The scientists conducted the review hoping to lay the groundwork for new human studies, as well as to persuade regulators to use existing animal data to strengthen regulations and require more testing of chemicals. "Animal models are the primary means of understanding and anticipating effects of chemicals in humans," they wrote. "All known human carcinogens … are also carcinogenic in animals." Emerging evidence suggests that the roots of breast cancer are in infancy or the womb. More animal and human research should focus on such early exposure, said Patricia Hunt, a Washington State University School of Molecular Biosciences professor. But Hunt and Soto urged society not to wait for scientific proof to reduce exposure to the chemicals. "When you look at their list of chemicals, we are exposed to all of it," Soto said. "We know humans are exposed to mixtures, and studying mixtures is very difficult. We will never have the whole picture, and it will take many, many years to collect epidemiological evidence, so we should take some preventive measures now." Although virtually all women are exposed to the chemicals, some may be more susceptible because of differing metabolism or ability to repair DNA. Breast cancer is probably triggered by an interaction of multiple environmental and genetic factors. Experts have long suspected diet plays a role. But the new research found "no association that is consistent, strong and statistically significant" for any particular foods raising or reducing breast cancer risk. There is substantial evidence, however, that regularly consuming alcohol, being obese and being sedentary increase risk. About 178,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year in the United States. The reports are at http://www.silentspring.org/sciencereview . ___________ Chemical carcinogens Researchers name 216 chemicals that cause breast cancer in animal tests. Here are some of the most widespread: ..>..>..>..>..>..> Chemical Source/use 1,4-dioxane Detergents, shampoos, soaps 1,3-butadiene Common air pollutant; found in vehicle exhaust Acrylamide Fried foods Benzene Common air pollutant; found in vehicle exhaust Perfluorooctanoic acid Used in manufacture of Teflon Styrene Used in manufacture of plastics; found in carpets, adhesives, hobby supplies and other consumer products Vinyl chloride Used almost exclusively by the plastics industry to make vinyl 1,1-dichloroethane Industrial solvent; also found in some consumer products such as paint removers Toluene diisocyanate Used in foam cushions, furnishings, bedding Methylene chloride Used in furniture polish, fabric cleaners, wood sealants and many other consumer products PAHs Diesel and gasoline exhaust PCBs Electrical transformers; banned but still in environment Atrazine Widely used herbicide, particularly for corn Source: Silent Spring Institute

Section: SCENE Publication title: Seattle Times. Seattle, Wash.: Oct 2, 1989.  pg. C.8 Source type: Newspaper Text Word Count 763 Abstract: While major pollution-control efforts have focused on industry and automobiles, three-quarters of the typical American's exposure to toxic chemicals occurs indoors, according to a federal Environmental Protection Agency scientist. And because much of the indoor exposure results from everyday tasks, done at home and ``close to your nose,'' Americans can take some simple steps to minimize their exposure to potentially harmful chemicals, says Lance Wallace, who has been sampling indoor pollution in homes across the country for the past decade. ``We've found that consumer products and personal activities are the major sources of exposure,'' Wallace told a recent meeting of the American Lung Association in Annapolis. ``The traditional (toxic) sites that EPA has worried about were not very important in exposure.''   ____________________________________ Full text of article:   Copyright Seattle Times Oct 2, 1989   ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The foam pillow you sleep on could be hazardous to your health.   So could a freshly dry-cleaned suit, a morning shower and the air freshener that scents the room.   While major pollution-control efforts have focused on industry and automobiles, three-quarters of the typical American's exposure to toxic chemicals occurs indoors, according to a federal Environmental Protection Agency scientist.   And because much of the indoor exposure results from everyday tasks, done at home and ``close to your nose,'' Americans can take some simple steps to minimize their exposure to potentially harmful chemicals, says Lance Wallace, who has been sampling indoor pollution in homes across the country for the past decade.   ``We've found that consumer products and personal activities are the major sources of exposure,'' Wallace told a recent meeting of the American Lung Association in Annapolis. ``The traditional (toxic) sites that EPA has worried about were not very important in exposure.''   Wallace doesn't argue that efforts to clean up outdoor air are pointless. Air pollutants such as ozone, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can damage the environment and pose a direct threat to the health of people with lung diseases such as asthma and emphysema.   But, while most of the toxic emissions occur outdoors, most of the actual exposure of Americans to toxic chemicals occurs inside, he said.   ``The average American spends only 4 percent of his time outdoors,'' Wallace said. ``We don't spend much time on the tops of buildings or in intersections where pollution measurements are taken.''   Wallace and his EPA colleagues found, for example, that while automobiles produce 82 percent of toxic emissions, they result in just 18 percent of humans' exposure to toxic chemicals. Industry produces 14 percent of emissions, but just 3 percent of exposures.   On the other hand, cigarettes account for 0.1 percent of toxic emissions in the country but produce 39 percent of humans' exposure to toxic chemicals. The exposure to toxic chemicals from smoking by others exceeds that from industrial pollutants, Wallace said.   Wallace began his studies 10 years ago in two areas of the country with the worst reputations for air pollution - Los Angeles and northern New Jersey. The EPA team sampled air inside and outside homes, then tested the breath of residents to determine what chemicals they had been exposed to.   ``All 11 chemicals that we looked at were at much higher exposures - two to five times higher - in homes as outdoors,'' he said. ``And remember, this was outdoors in New Jersey.''   The work since has been expanded to more than a dozen cities across the country. ``In every city, in every season, the indoor exposures are greater than outdoor sources,'' Wallace said.   ``This explains why no one ever steps inside for a breath of fresh air,'' he said.   Among the chemicals of concern were:   -- Benzene, known to cause leukemia in humans, was traced to cigarette smoking, automobile travel, pumping gas and vapors from attached garages. ``Smokers had a good deal more of everything in their breath,'' Wallace said.   -- Para-dichlorobenzene, linked to cancer in animals, is present in air fresheners, moth crystals and restroom disinfectants. High levels can persist for years in some homes.   -- Chloroform, also an animal carcinogen, is released from water during hot showers and clothes- and dish-washing. ``Half the chloroform comes out before the water hits the tub, and 10 minutes in the shower can expose the rest of the family to chloroform for up to two hours,'' he said, recommending that bathrooms be properly vented to reduce exposure.   -- Tetrachloroethylene, another animal carcinogen, is now the chemical of choice for dry cleaning, replacing the now-banned carbon tetrachloride. Newly dry-cleaned clothes can emit tetrachloroethylene for seven to 10 days. ``In our tests, 37 people who had gone to the dry cleaners had twice the amount of tetracholoroethlylene in their breath,'' Wallace said. Hanging dry-cleaned clothes outside for a day ``will save 20-30 percent of the exposure,'' he said.   Many sources of indoor pollution can be removed or controlled, and there are other steps homeowners can take to reduce exposure.   NASA scientists said this week that several varieties of common house plants remove common pollutants from the air: Philodendrons, spider plants and golden pothos take out formaldehyde; flowering plants such as gerbera daisies and chrysanthemums remove benzene; bamboo palms, peace lilies, ficus, mass cane, mother-in-law's tongue, English ivy and Chinese evergreen also can help with indoor pollution.   Wallace said equipment such as electrostatic precipitators and negative ion generators are helpful in removing some pollutants, but tend to be expensive and only partially effective.   _____________   Important notes and reference links:   Reference notes from The Toxic Reverend & The TR MySpace Blog   Using Plants to Root Out Indoor Pollutionm newspaper; Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles, Calif.: Feb 21, 1998.  pg. 1 _________ Caution: The humidity must be well maintained or the plants can also cause mold to grow.  Mold has been associated with asthma, as has formaldehyde.   Mold has been shown to harbor mycoplasma's (an infectious "Incapacitating Agent" that is actually a type of "Non-Lethal" Biological Weapon), as hjave ticks with Lymes Disease and most likeley "Dust Mites".

[[Gee, I didn't know they're that many Chicken Littles!!]]

Australia --
    http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,2103...

THOUSANDS of birds have fallen from the skies over Esperance and no one
knows why.

Texas --
    http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/loca...

The discovery of dozens of mysteriously dead birds shut down Congress
Avenue on Monday morning, closing dozens of businesses for hours and
keeping hundreds of workers away from their jobs in part of the city's
most important commercial center.

Idaho (ducks) --
     http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_4855994

Preliminary test results indicate a bacterial or fungal infection could
be to blame for the deaths of as many as 2,500 mallard ducks in a
bizarre cluster along a southeastern Idaho creek bed, a state game
official says.  More tests are now planned on water and grain, said
David Parrish, supervisor for the Magic Valley region of the Idaho
Department of Fish and Game.

"We have some preliminary results," he told The Associated Press late
Thursday in a telephone interview. "It could be some type of bacterial
infection or a fungal-related infection.  But we haven't confirmed that
for sure."

Parrish and members of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality,
the state Department of Agriculture, the federal Homeland Security
Department and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conferred by conference
call late Thursday.  Parrish said the die-off was not typical. "It's
fairly uncommon, especially in these types of numbers and in such a
confined area," he said.

    http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=38739

Last year, about 500 mostly mallard ducks died in similar circumstances
at a pond in Waterloo, Iowa.  The Iowa Department of Natural Resources
said the ducks likely died from Aspergillosis.

Maine (crows) --
Sun Journal

Residents of the neighborhood next to the Promenade Mall are puzzled
over dozens of dead crows that seem to be dropping from the sky.

     http://www.boston.com/news/local/maine/articles/2006/12...

Residents unnerved by the unexplained deaths of dozens of crows in a
neighborhood next to the Promenade Mall hope tests by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture will provide some answers.

To residents, it seems almost as though dead crows were falling from the
sky. Damien Perreault, 71, said he disposed of 10 dead crows he found on
a walk Monday.  That didn't count crows dead in the trees.  Ray
Beaudoin, a resident of Summit Avenue, called animal control officials
when the dead crows started appearing a couple of weeks ago.

Azerbaijan (various fowl) --
     http://en.apa.az/news.php?id=18697

Mass death of poultries is observed in the village Boyuk Bahmanli of
Fuzuli region, the villagers told the APA.

They said that mass death of poultries was observed in several yards and
they appealed to the veterinary service. The death reasons are unknown.
Besides, a lot of dead fowls were found in the water basins of the
village, as well as in the ponds on the neutral strip on border with Iran.

France (chickens) --
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6191599.stm

French authorities say they cannot rule out bird flu after 4,000
chickens died on a French farm on Saturday.

Colorado (mostly starlings) --
    http://www.longmontfyi.com/Local-Story.asp?id=14007

About 40 dead birds littered a short stretch of U.S . Highway 287 south
of the city Tuesday.

Boulder County health officials and the Colorado Division of Wildlife
were still coordinating efforts late afternoon to investigate the site,
just south Mooring Road.

South Dakota (geese) --
    http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/2...

Salinity was responsible for the deaths of about 1,000 geese near
Watertown in November.

The snow geese and blue geese were found in late November on Lake
Nicholson, about 15 miles northwest of Watertown.

Tests found high mineral concentrations in their brains.  That, along
with lethargy observed in dying birds, is consistent with "salt
toxicosis," Morlock said.

Idaho (owls) --
    http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,650221073,00.html

A study of roadkill on Interstate 84 between Boise and Burley has found
so many dead barn owls that a Boise State University scientist says he's
concerned the owls could disappear from areas surrounding the travel
corridor.

"I don't have enough information to predict the viability of the
species," Jim Belthoff told The Times-News. "But the mere fact that cars
are killing this many animals from one species is alarming."

Belthoff expects to publish a study of the issue later this year.

For 2 1/2 years, Belthoff and graduate student, Than Boves, have twice a
month driven the southern Idaho highway between Boise and Burley
collecting animals killed by vehicles.

They found 2,518 dead animals, with 800 of those being barn owls, the
most common dead animal found in the study.

Comment:

 The facts are that a Congressional Report by Nancy Pelosi,
the Speaker of the House, documented that of the 1,400
chemicals known to cause cancer, less than 6% are tracked. 
And that many more chemicals might cause cancer, but
have not been adequately tested or evaluated.

The simple facts are that chemical companies developed
chemical and biological weapons for our country. Back in
World War One and Two, they made things like nerve gas.
At some point, the watered down the nerve gas and started
calling them "pesticides". The report "Poison for Profit"

people.

also from the symptoms and chronic illnesses that they can

Even more disturbing is what is termed "the revolving door" from these companies and their executives into many of the high ranking administration offices of our government, in Washington DC. From the National Institute of Health to the Food and Drug Administration and beyond.

"The revolving door" is easily shown with an Internet www.google.com search term, "revolving door washington DC drugs chemical companies".

___________

Many of the "tolerable levels of exposure" to a (singular)

toxic chemical have been fraudulently produced for decades.

It is well documented in the book "Toxic Deception (81) that

they have known this since the 1970's. In the 1950's, 1960's

and 1970's, Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories (IBT) performed

about 35-40% of all U.S. Toxicology testing. Of the 867

audits of IBT performed by the FDA under the 1962 law, 618

were found to be invalid because of numerous discrepancies

between the study conduct and data. FDA flexed its muscles

and found four IBT managers guilty of fraud." Yet the EPA

has still been accepting these "studies" that are financed by

industry, with out any real review !!!

Health: Pet food revealed: Consumer Wellness Center posts nutritional review of 570 pet food ingredients The non-profit Consumer Wellness Center today posted a detailed nutritional review of 570 pet food ingredients commonly found in pet food products (both canned and dry). The list, created by a joint effort between pet food formulator Dr. Lisa Newman,...

 

Excerpt from the above web p[age:

The following list of pet food ingredients and ratings
was created by a cooperative effort between pet food
formulator Dr. Lisa Newman, N.D., Ph.D.
(www.Azmira.com),
Mike Adams (www.HealthRanger.org) and the
non-profit Consumer Wellness Center
(www.ConsumerWellness.org). Mike Adams and the
CWC analyzed the ingredients of 448 popular pet food
products sold in the United States and organized them
by frequency. Dr. Newman then provided a nutritional
analysis and comment for each ingredient.

We then organized this information into four
reference lists:

1) Pet food ingredients by rating (from 5 stars down to
1 star, with 5 stars indicating the best quality
ingredients).

2) Pet food ingredients by frequency (sorted by how
frequently they appear in pet food products, from 96%
down to 1%).

3) Pet food ingredients listed alphabetically (to make it
easier for you to reference an ingredient you're
curious about).

4) Worst pet food ingredients (which lists all the 1-star
ingredients, indicating lowest quality).

You can view these lists by clicking on the chapter
headings on the lft side of the web page, at :>

Stratfor: Public Policy Intelligence Report -
June 28, 2007

*Food Safety: The Importance of Retailers and Codex*
By Bart Mongoven

Chinese regulators said June 27 they have shut down more than 180 food
processing plants over the past six months for using illegal fillers in
food products.  The announcement follows a series of incidents in which
Chinese processors exported unsafe consumable goods, including pet food
and toothpaste -- products that reached store shelves in the United States.

The investigation into the most inflammatory of the incidents, the
deadly contamination of pet food with the plasticizer melamine, led to
the discovery that excessive amounts of melamine and other similar
chemicals are common additives in Chinese food manufacturing.
Meanwhile, more than 200 Chinese food shipments have been turned away
from the U.S. market in the past year because federal officials
considered them contaminated.

As a result of the growing concern among Americans over the potential
health risks of food from China, attention is turning to the most
influential regulator of food safety in the United States.  This is not
the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.), nor is it the Department of
Agriculture (U.S.D.A.).  In fact, it is not a government agency at all.
  It is retailers -- the end-of-the-line sellers who have learned by
experience that consumers will blame them if something goes wrong. In
the long term, though, the uproar over tainted Chinese products likely
will focus public attention on the little-known body that establishes
global food safety standards: the Codex Alimentarius Commission.  Known
as Codex, it is a joint project of the U.N. Food and Agriculture
Organization and the World Health Organization.

The timing of the contamination incidents could not be worse for
Beijing.  First, the United States and China are involved in a low-grade
trade spat over agriculture imports, with the United States only
recently making a concession on the importation of Chinese processed
chickens.  Meanwhile, China still complains that its products are
unfairly turned back at the border and, four years after the U.S. mad
cow scare, China continues to ban U.S. beef.

Moreover, the incidents have increased consumer product companies'
skittishness about importing food from China just as the United States
is beginning to emerge as a major buyer of Chinese foods.  They also
come at a crucial time in the debate over "country-of-origin" labeling
in the United States, and during a period in which retailers are
beginning to grow accustomed to their role as the primary food-safety
enforcer in the United States.

Regardless of whether the events of the last six months lead to an
accelerated phase-in of country-of-origin labeling in the United States
(which would force food companies to label fresh meat from China), they
will result in dramatic changes in Chinese food manufacturing. Consumer
product companies, under pressure from retailers, will demand Chinese
government guarantees that the country's food exports are produced in
keeping with the minimum recognized international standards.

A likely beneficiary of this hot-button issue is Codex, which not only
sets those standards, but also has made increasing its reach into
developing countries a prime objective.  As China grasps for ways to
assure its trading partners and the global food industry that its
products can be trusted, working with Codex is emerging as a prominent
element of its strategy.

The Problem of Volume

U.S. food safety laws are a complex web of regulations and testing
regimes enforced by the U.S.D.A. and the F.D.A.  The most important of
the U.S. food safety laws is Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
(H.A.C.C.P.), which is considered the global model for food safety.  All
meat and most other products in the United States are subject to
H.A.C.C.P. and also to various labeling and registration requirements.
Imported food must pass additional hurdles.  The most
stringent of these, instituted under the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, gives
U.S.D.A. inspectors the power to deny access to any food shipment based
solely on the inspector's professional assessment that something in the
shipment is amiss.

Passed in the wake of 9/11 out of concern that the food supply could be
a terrorism target, the Bioterrorism Act also gave the U.S.D.A. a
significant increase in funding to inspect imported food.  Still,
although the number of inspectors at the borders has
increased dramatically, the industry estimates that less than 5 percent
of the food that enters the country is inspected for safety.  The
problem, federal officials say, is that the infrastructure to inspect
every container of food moving through U.S. ports would be prohibitively
expensive.  To make the system as efficient as possible, U.S.D.A. policy
is to concentrate on shipments of particularly troublesome foods, such
as shellfish, and on food from historically troublesome countries, such
as China.  These are checked far more often than most other food shipments.

If monitoring significant percentages of food imports to the United
States seems daunting, imagine the position of a Chinese regulatory
agency responsible for monitoring the practices of the country's food
processors.  Food for export is more highly regulated than food for
domestic consumers, whose safety requirements for consumable goods are
far more lax.  The problem is that many manufacturers make
products for both markets, and are more accustomed to the less-stringent
standards.  Of those that manufacture food for export, the vast majority
are small businesses that employ fewer than 10 workers.  In fact, most
of the 180 facilities shut down by Chinese officials over the past six
months have been these small
food-processing operations.

Local governments are largely responsible for policing the health and
hygiene standards of food-processing facilities, but most do a poor job.
  First, there is no ethic regarding food safety comparable to that of
Europe, the United States or Japan.  As a result, there is little
indigenous support for local officials to "meddle" in commercial
affairs.  Further, because food exports are still relatively new in
China, food processors do not think of their products as part of a
global supply chain.  That Americans want something different is not
unimportant to small-business owners --
it is simply not something they commonly consider.

In effect, U.S. and Chinese regulators share a key problem: They cannot
adequately cover the ground they would need to in order to assure that
food is handled properly and is free from contamination.

Consumer Products and Precautions

The most important food regulator in the United States, therefore, is
the retailer. More than any other link in the chain, food retailers are
universally recognized as the most influential monitors of food safety.
  The rationale is simple: Decades of experience have shown retailers
that when a product makes consumers sick, they do not blame the food
manufacturer, they blame the seller -- be it a restaurant or
supermarket.  Years of bad experiences in trying to pass blame to food
processors have convinced food retailers that they have a critical
interest in monitoring food safety.

Retailers pass this concern up the chain to the product manufacturers,
which also are beginning to see that they are considered crucial
elements in the chain of responsibility for food safety.  As a result,
food manufacturers are becoming increasingly cautious about what
products carry their brand name.  This, then, is
similar to the climate change and chemical usage issues in that critics
are forcing companies to embrace precaution as a tool in protecting
their core brands.

In doing this, retailers use Codex standards as an important guide.
Established by a mix of scientific experts and government
representatives, Codex standards are designed to provide a view of the
minimum standards for food handling, ingredients, contaminants, etc.
These standards are universally recognized as  proper (if minimal)
standards for food safety.  In industrialized countries, the Codex
standards are considered important baselines against which food
manufacturers can compare their food handling.  For developing
countries, including China, that lack the resources, expertise or
experience necessary to promulgate effective food
safety standards, Codex's standards are the basis for national policy.

Because it sets the bar for food safety around the world, Codex's work
is of critical importance to the food processors, consumer product
companies and retailers in industrialized countries that often depend on
imports.

The Power of Standards

China has been active in Codex for more than a decade, and in recent
years has become a leading member.  In April, it hosted a Codex workshop
on food contamination, and took leadership of the Codex committee that
studies contamination issues.  It also leads the committee concerned
with pesticide residues.  In taking a leadership role in Codex, Beijing
is trying to send a clear message that it understands Codex is an
important part of the solution to the bind it is in. Given that the
safety of China's food products is being questioned and that the rules
are being enforced far more strongly by retailers than government,
China's increased participation in Codex makes sense, and building
Codex-based standards into all food manufacture appears a crucial
element of the country's new strategy.

The challenge it faces is winning adherence by the domestic food
industry.  It is trying to train food processors in Codex standards, but
those efforts are going slowly.  Here, Beijing can benefit to some
extent from the pressure exerted by retailers in the West.  Buyers in
Europe, North America and Japan will reward those who follow Codex and,
more important, punish those who do not.

Finally, adherence to Codex standards also will give China an additional
weapon against the United States in the ongoing tiff over food imports.
  For centuries, hygiene has been a leading justification for trade
barriers between countries.  An importing country could claim not that
it has a barrier to trade, but rather that the exporter's food products
are not up to the importer's hygiene requirements.  To end this
practice, trade negotiators established Codex standards: If an exporter
followed (and enforced) Codex standards, its products could not be
deemed "unsanitary" by
importers.
