An '''Amendment''' is a proposal to alter the text of a pending [[bill]] or other [[measure]] by striking out some of it, by inserting new language, or both.

In the United States, before an amendment becomes part of the measure, the [[United States Senate|Senate]] must agree to it.<ref>[http://www.senate.gov/reference/glossary_term/amendment.htm] US Senate Reference</ref>

An Amendment can be proposed in two ways:

*Both houses of Congress must vote for it with a two thirds majority.
*Two-thirds of the state legislatures may ask [[Congress]] to call a national convention on account of their proposed amendment.

The second method has never been used.

An Amendment can be ratified in two ways:

*Three-fourths of the state legislatures vote in approval of the amendment.
*Conventions in three-fourths of the states ratify the amendment.

Twelve constitutional amendments were proposed at the first Congress in 1789. The first ten amendments were ratified within two years, and became the [[Bill of Rights]].<ref>U.S Government and Politics</ref>

A [[product]]ion quality control system now being adopted throughout much of the [[food]] industry as a method for minimizing the entry of [[food]]borne pathogens into the [[food]] supply in order to protect human health. Under a HACCP (pronounced Ha-sip) system, potential hazards are identified and risks are analyzed in each phase of [[product]]ion; critical control points for preventing such hazards are identified and constantly monitored; and corrective actions are taken when necessary. Record keeping and verification procedures are used to ensure that the system is working. HACCP is one of the major elements of regulations, issued by USDA in July 1996 to control pathogens in [[meat]] and [[poultry]] [[product]]s. Under the rules, all [[meat]] and [[poultry]] slaughter and processing plants with 500 or more employees had to develop and implement, by January 1998, a USDA-approved HACCP plan for each of their processes and [[product]]s. Plants with 10 to 500 employees implemented HACCP by January 1999, and plants with less than 10 employees implemented the system by January 2000. Under separate rules issued by the Food and Drug Administration on December 5, 1995, sea[[food]] processors and importers also were required to implement HACCP plans and be in full compliance by December 1997.

'''Halal''' is a set of [[Muslim]] laws regulating the handling and consumption of [[food]]. Several aspects of the law are similar to tenets found in [[Jewish]] [[kosher]] laws, including the types of meat which are forbidden and the need for animals to be slaughtered in a particular way.

==Meats==
Products prepared by [[federal]]ly inspected [[meat]] packing plants identified with labels bearing references to “Halal” (or "'''Zabiah Halal'''") must be handled according to [[Sharia|Islamic law]] and under Islamic authority.

There are several animals whose meat cannot be Halal, including all pork products, dogs, felines, human meat, and any carrion meat.

In order to meet Halal requirements, a suitable animal must have its throat cut with a knife and all of its blood drained, while the slaughterman invokes the Muslim [[prayer]] "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim" (an [[Arabic]] phrase for "By the name of God, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful").

Any meat dedicated to gods other than the God of Abraham is not allowed to be consumed.

== Other Foods ==
[[Alcohol]] is completely forbidden in any form. Muslims may not use any alcohol-based perfumes or personal hygiene products such as antiperspirants. Most Muslims, however, do not regard alcohol-based medical products as forbidden.

== Makruh ==
Some foods are not forbidden, but are considered disliked (makruh). These include garlic and onions, due to to the odour left in the mouth. However, many Muslims in places such as Egypt, even the more [[conservative]] ones, ignore this teaching, as garlic and onions are staples of the typical Middle Eastern diet.

HIMP is an effort to determine how FSIS can improve the use of its online slaughter inspectors and continue to ensure the reduction and/or elimination of defects that pass through traditional inspection. Under this project, FSIS has established performance standards for [[food]] safety and non-[[food]] safety defects (also known as “other consumer protections” or OCP) found in young chickens, hogs, and turkeys. The [[food]] safety performance standards are set at zero to protect consumers from conditions that may be harmful. The OCP performance standards are more stringent than current standards and thus require improved plant performance. Participating plants must revise their HACCP systems to meet these [[food]] safety performance standards and establish process control systems to address the OCP concerns. Under this project, FSIS conducts continuous inspection with verification to ensure that performance standards are met.

'''Growing season''' is - according to the [[USDA]] terminology - ''" the '''frost-free season''', the period and/or number of days between the last freeze in the [[spring]] and the first frost in the fall for the freeze threshold temperature of the crop or other designated temperature threshold."<ref>[http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/NRI/1997/summary_report/glossary.html List of USDA terminology]</ref>''

It varies according to the location, and more specifically according to the altitude, latitude, and proximity to large bodies of water.

Contrary to popular misconception, the "growing season" is not the only time when crops grow. Many crops, including winter wheat, oats, rye, canola/rutabaga, and kale, are grown partly or wholly during times of year other than the frost-free season.
