You lead the way! When your hair falls out, and you sprout pustules all over your body that ooze green slime, and you foam at the mouth while running around trying to hack everyone with a butcher knife; I''ll do the kind thing, I''ll put you down like a mad sheep dog! Because---that''s what friends are for!

How about engineering a chicken that''ll keep my house clean, make my meals and go away...

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Thursday a government review will ensure that such animals are safe to eat"

Just like DDT, then Agent Orange, then sachharin, now with aspartame. Sure, trust the government to make sure what big money wants to sell is safe....!

I wonder what other marvelous changes will be implemented in this waning Bush era of special interests ruling America and de-regulation of anything that might get in their way? Scary!

"Profit before Health", it is the motto of the FDA.

Excerpt from the article:

The administration''s position then, as now, was that it considered such foods safe for human consumption and therefore did not require labels. But in the face of some consumer backlash, then FDA Commissioner Dr. Jane Henney told CBS News that the agency was considering requiring labels.

"I think that a label might be one of the questions we want to explore." Dr. Henney said.

But in the end, the industry won out, as food makers sold the idea that a genetic label would brand safe foods as poison.


Bottom line: You will NOT know if your food has been genetically modified. Even if you want to avoid it, you can''t.

I think people should be executed when they turn 50. That way it would save food and there would be no need for social security, retirement centers. We wouldnt even have a gas shortage -------------------------------------------- Posted by scallywag8
