I have read that the revolving door in the best government money can buy
has led to instant approval of GM O's ag industry seeks to
manufacture and deploy into the environment. Of course approval of the
methods and materials used to grow these GM O's has already been granted as
a standard turnkey component of large scale farming. Lack of adequate and
effective testing of these GM O's means that
they are introduced onto farmland and adjoining lands with absolutely no
idea of the long term effects on human health from GM O food consumption,
contact with the GM O and any chemicals used to produce it, one of which is
cancer from the herbicide glyphosate and Roundup, and unavoidable
significant adverse environmental consequences.
