Re: OT: Seed treatment boom a dilemma for green gardeners?

[Guest guest]

There is never any thought given to health anymore. No oversight by really any

nuetral government entity, or there has not been. I don't know if new

administration has put more responsible people in charge at FDA or not, but the

FDA and NIS, etc have been " contaminated " with clones from Corporations with

vested interest, not in the science or health or protections but protecting

profits only.

The genetically modified seeds are being picked up in the wind and blowing into

fields with other seeds and mixing, " contaminating " non genetically modified

seeds. Another environmental mess. How will our bodies deal with these new

'fake foods'? Noone knows and few people in authority, care.
