    This is no surprise, Monsanto can’t prove there are adequate safety standards for GE crops, that’s why they didn’t show up.

    1: an average of $60M is spent on safety assessment of each GM trait – so saying no testing is deceptive.
    2: The WHO doesn’t regulate GM crops so they have no safety testing of 60 days etc – another lie and deception.
    3. No-one has been hospitalized in 20 years of GM crops and people have died from eating organic food (due to bacterial contamination from manure) so it is a lie to say GM is harmful and organic is safer.
    4. the ~80% of Gm crops not tested properly – I thought the anti-GM organic industrialists that are funding the anti-Gm campaign thought no Gm crop s adequately tested…why the 20% that is?
    5. The “scientist” has written theoretical papers this is versus actual data on biochemistry. A scientist (and I am a PhD) can imagine anything and a model is only as good as the data going in. This is no need for theoretical ideas when the actual safety assessment involves actual data. The analysis of the biochemistry requires very precise experiments to be done. Any plants grown in separate parts of at the same field can have dramatic differences in biochemistry – much more than the difference from organic vs conventional vs GM. This is a fact. The environment where it is grown has more of an effect of biochemistry than where there are a few differences (Gm vs conventional) or the much bigger differences between genetic non-Gm bred varieties. Breeding can change 10,000’s of genes a a time vs a few with GM.

    The writer is an ill-informed arts educated writer (who may have great writing skills but is not qualified to make any scientific judgement.

    Oh and those millionaire, industralist, organic people who are funding anti-Gm – e.g,Mercola 0 look him up – sells untested supplements and UV tanning beds and has been cited by the FDA for wrongly marketing supplements – he has paid a few million dollars to the labeling GM campaign. Others include major organic food owners who can’t justify their higher food prices without scaring people about GM. It makes perfect commercial sense to them. Just look at the FDA food recall list and see how many organic foods that have to be recalled.

    Just look at the state of Chipotle- said they were going non-GM for higher safety and they have been sickening people over the country with at least a bacterial and one virus related problem. This si why the ante Gm stuff is stupid – it distracts us from real safety issues – primarily microbes in food.

    On a scale residual pesticides and even lower GM is way down the list versus bacterial contamination as safety issues. #1 and 2 environmental hazards are smoking and radon gas but sonic there is no activist campaign against them they are ignored.

    This is just like people freaking about about 100 people dying from terrorists but 30,000 dying from guns and another 30,000 from cars. Totally stupid. Its like working more about a plane than a car crash.
    get smart

    1. Its like claiming U.S.GMO regulations are challenging when actively participating as a Citizen United to create hidden GMO policies.

    There is no such thing as organic anything anymore since they’ve been spraying most of the upper atmosphere in Western Europe and North America with aluminum, barium, strontium, dihyrdrogen monoxide nano-particulates, and god knows what else very heavily for over the past decade. Why do you think Monsanto acquired a patent for aluminum-resistant seed sometime during the late 2000’s? Monsanto and FDA should both be called MF for MOTHERPHUCKER! Whatever we’re eating and breathing I believe they’re altering our DNA to make us weaker…With the war on White America on the TV shows, commercials, movies there is a strong probability they’re using race based weapons against Whites.

    1. Chemtrails are a fact.
      War on whites is not.
      It’s CLASS WAR.
      War on the non-rich.

  4. It’s happening but not fast enough .Also, the “Federal” guidelines have to be truthful, comprehensive, and all encompassing in getting rid of all GMO’s and their dangling bits like “additives”, “Natural flavoring,” bits of GMO ‘s with teh wrong labeling like High Fructose Corn Syrup, Aspartame, “Sugar substitutes”, etc…. Our kids, the elderly and all in between have been fooled too long. Throw out of Congress those weaklings, both from the House and teh Senate, who went for the money instead of the good health of all. Criminal, it is! Good for Campbell’s, Hershey, etc for taking the must needed plunge…I wonder how this will all play out…in terms of health,, health costs, and a reduction in obesity and serious diseases? Hope all for the best! It can’t get worse. Wait! Vaccines are next without a doubt!

    1. Mandated vaccines to get more lucre for sickness-profiteering Big Pharma are already here. Nurses who refuse are being fired. Parents who refuse to expose their children to that crap are having children TAKEN from them by the state. In other cases, non-vaccinated children are refused public schooling or even medical treatment, as pharma-BOUGHT doctors turn them away.
