"Regulations for a new food law – FSMA – the Food Safety Modernization Act
– administered by the FDA are currently in the process of being finalized.
Although the Act originally had protections for family farmers like myself,
we see those being ignored or phased out over time."
:"And, finally, there is this Administration’s commitment to the bio-tech
industry. It’s no accident that FDA’s deputy commissioner responsible for
food safety, Michael R. Taylor, is a former Monsanto Vice President. That
partially explains why the “safe food” mandate does nothing to protect us
from genetically engineered food, and the harsh chemicals that are
necessarily paired with it."
