Could you provide something less biased?
This stuff wears it's bias on it's sleeve. It even lies about the definition of codex - which means code, not rules.
Edit -
Lets face it, this is just propaganda. I love the fears about controlling vitamin c supplements. What's wrong with oranges? Spinach? You can get all the nutrients you need from normal, healthy food.

Don't be so naive,
you can't get "normal" food anymore, don't you know it's all controlled by the man?

watch the link in that case it's pretty comprehensive if you need objectivity
"Lets face it, this is just propaganda. I love the fears about controlling vitamin c supplements. What's wrong with oranges? Spinach? You can get all the nutrients you need from normal, healthy food."
soil nutrients use up very quickly (unless you live in the Andes which renews the soil with mminerals from the glacial melt hence the health of teh HUnza(? check the native word) people)
farm fertilisers won't cut it, I'm afraid
people NEED to supplement - you will not get it in food under modern farming methods
also if you want cry "propaganda look at motives
on one hand a huge business trying to restrict natural remedies which can be home grown to make profits fro it's own industry and maintain greater control
or
on the other hand , people wanting access to natural remedies, which can be home grown, and preserve the rights they have enjoyed for thousands of years
mmmmmm...tough one

a huge and very poorly regulated business
who sell products which require very little testing, and no proof of their claims of their safety. A business that should be regulated in my opinion.
There was a lovely example a few years back - vitamin c tablets made from orange peel. No ody mentioned all of the various toxic and unpleasant things in orange peel though...

That's a load of nonsense.
Really, just nonsense.
Soil nutrients are easily replenished by crop rotation and digging in good compost or well rotted manure.
PEOPLE DO NOT NEED TO SUPPLEMENT, THEY JUST NEED A HEALTHY DIET.
"on one hand a huge business trying to restrict natural remedies which can be home grown to make profits fro it's own industry and maintain greater control"
Read that back to yourself. They will never be able to restrict legal things that can be home grown, nor do they care. I assure you, they would not be coming round to take away your st john's wort...
I do cry propaganda, as that it what it is.
Do you realise that they are not trying to restrict natural remedies, they are trying to restrict the uncontrolled and unregulated sale of these things, which could very well be harmful?
