North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

["tanis cuff" <tanistanis@hotmail.com>]

Zipping thru the string, I noticed someone mentioned the mission of the FDA 
is to make sure only safe/effective products get on the market.   I would 
argue with this, stating instead that the mission of the FDA is to follow 
the laws and administrative rules which govern the FDA ops.   Hence the 
current hoopla over, for example, GMO's and "why isn't the FDA doing more 
??!"

Please stop me before I get any further off the topic of the list.

Hi Keith,

I for one, have never earned penny one from experimenting/dabbling with 
fruit.  I am sure my wife
would consider it a "money pit".  I bet most NAFEX'rs are in the same boat.  
Is there value in our
work?  You better believe it!

I agree with you 100%.

Later,
Tom
