OMG!!!! vitamins will be illegal from 31 december 2009

I received this email today and I thought I would share it with you guys... [i]Dear Friends, I know some of you will be familiar with this, for others you may no be aware of what parliament is about to do in your name.. Codex Alimentairus is a law designed to hand over the control of natural remedies to the pharmaceutical giants. One more attempt to regulate us - with potentially dire consequences. Unless we take this last opportunity and act now we will not be able to buy vitamins or health/nutritional supplements without a doctor's prescription - they will be banned from 31st December 2009. You may think this can't happen, you may think why haven't I heard about this before. The reason is that there are vested interests, giant multinational pharmaceutical companies, and its not in their interest that you know about and oppose this. They and our lawmakers in Europe are banking on public apathy. Despite considerable pressure already exerted our government is still planning to implement this law UNLESS THERE IS MASSIVE OPPOSITION IT WILL GO AHEAD. Like many health and safety matters this was started with good intentions, in 1962 by the United Nations, to establish international free trade foods but has become a major threat to our civil liberties and freedom of choice. As the song says: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT TILL ITS GONE Please, sign the petition to the Prime Minister . . It takes 10 seconds! This is for our health, and well-being and the health and well-being of our children.

I bet next they are going to say that cocaine, marijuana and heroin will be legal.. bloody hell what's the world coming too??

hi jellymonty Well I am more glad than ever that I am an American in the US because we have no problem buying any vitamins we want. I think that that is just dreadful. What on earth is the thinking on that? I mean vitamins I thought were easily available all over, and my I am wrong on that. the beauty of mylot is that we learn so much about what is going on in other countries. it really is a small world after all. and what affects one country may well affect us all. I hate the ideao f vitamins being illegal. thats just asinine.

All righty, then. After someone posts what snopes.com says about this, then I'll respond. I apologize for being snippy, but every time someone posts something like this, another person invariably posts the Snopes rebuttal. It gets annoying after the first hundred times it happens.
