Much misunderstanding surrounds mental illness in our society! What does it mean to be mentally ill? Are we all on some kind of spectrum? How do we diagnose and treat mental illness?

But we do manage to make some very important conclusions regarding mental illness that everyone should be aware of!

The Bill H.R. 1599: Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015 Allows the Federal government to require labels for genetically modified plants if the government determines there is a difference in nutrition, allergic reactions, or to protect public health. Prohibits the sale of non-regulated genetically modified plants unless the Secretary of Heath and Human Services certifies that the food is safe for humans and animals. Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to publish a list of and information discovered about each non-regulated genetically modified plant that has been approved for sale on a public website. Applies to imported food Defines "non-regulated genetically engineered plant" as one contains genetic material from a different species or has been modified through DNA altering techniques. Prohibits States from creating or continuing "any requirement" that is different from the regulations created by this bill. Allows private companies to certify whether genetically modified plants are present in food products. Creates a voluntary program for labeling genetically modified foods. To qualify as Non-GMO, the seed must not be genetically modified and the crop must be separated during growth, harvesting, storage, and transportation. For livestock, the food fed to the livestock must not have contained any genetically modified products. The labels cannot imply that Non-GMO foods are safer or better than GMO foods. Anyone who uses the Non-GMO label on GMO foods will be fined $10,000 or less. Each day the violation occurs will be considered a separate violation.
