2. an initial accomplishment which opens the way for further developments

Who Says You Cannot Change Codex from Inside Codex?

We Just Did!

The Codex Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL) is one of two Codex committees which were tasked with determining how Codex will implement the World Health Organization Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Exercise and Health (WHOGS) (Codex Alimentarius Commission [CAC], July 4-9, 2005) prior to the upcoming CAC meeting (Geneva, Switzerland, July 3-8, 2006). The other one was the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Food for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU).

CCNFSDU met last November but Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, its Chairman, refused to allow any meaningful discussion of the topic, leaving the field open to CCFL to provide the only input at CAC this coming July.

The Natural Solutions Foundation was in Ottawa, Canada for CCFL (May 1-5, 2006). South Africa's Antoinette Booyzen, with our support and input, fought enegetically and succeeded in securing the most potent pro-health position our side has ever had in Codex, despite US opposition: the Ottawa Beachhead:

In line with the WHOGS, Codex is now directed to implement the following principles:

1. Nutrients are not toxins.
2. Nutrients are generally safe and sold as "dietary supplements" including optimum potency levels, throughout the world;
3. All trans fats derived from industrial sources should be eliminated from the food supply
4. Industrial toxins should be eliminated from the food supply.
5. Enrichment of foods through dietary supplements should be encouraged to optimize nutrient density of foods and compensate for the decline in micronutrients in agricultural produce.
6. Development of national and international policies which enhance local, national, regional and global optimal nutrition through life-style modification (including diet), fortification and supplementation with dietary supplements at all levels, including optimum potency levels should be encouraged.
7. Healthy life styles and life style choices, including diet and supplementation should be encouraged.
8. Foods that do not contribute to, which conflict with or are not essential for, a healthy lifestyle ("junk food") should be identified and discouraged. Nutrition and health claims in labeling and advertising for those foods that do contribute to a healthy life-style should be encouraged while nutrition and health claims for foods which do not contribute to a healthy life styles should be banned in order to encourage health-supporting foods and discourage ones that do not support health.
9. Encourage truthful, full and accurate labeling and advertising on all foods which contribute to health and ban advertising and health claims on those that do not.
10. Advertising of junk food to children (birth to 18 years) should be banned.
11. Require that the Chairpersons of Codex Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL) and Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) report to the Codex Alimentarius Commission every other year on the status of the implementation of the WHO/FAO GLOBAL STRATEGY ON DIET, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTH and items 1-10 listed above.

The next step is that the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) will jointly summarize what happened at CCFL and present it for comment. The result will create the terrain for the Battle of Geneva '06 at the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Geneva, CAC, July 3-7, 2006) when the other side will try to evade the WHO/FAO requirement to implement WHOGS. In the meantime, it is essential to build the strategic and tactical strength for these WHOGS principles in preparation to for extending Beachhead Ottawa to the critical Battle of Geneva '06.

While there is genuine cause for jubilation, should we fail to provide the troops and supplies needed to exploit the advantage that the Ottawa Beachhead gives us, our hard-won advance will become totally meaningless in the long run. Whether that happens depends upon what WE do and what YOU do.

The health freedom war is, in fact, a grass roots/grass tops insurgency. The Natural Solutions Foundation is reaching out to the grass tops by providing essential information and meeting with Congressional leaders, Ministers of Health, National Codex Committee members and other decision makers in the US and around the world.

We are working the grass tops.

YOU are in charge of the grass roots. You have a circle of influence. Recruit it.
