FDA Says Monsanto Biotech Wheat Safe for Consumers

[GHOSTDANCER]

Last month, the company said it would shelve plans to introduce the world's first GMO wheat. Monsanto withdrew submissions for its biotech wheat from all regulatory agencies except the FDA. :crazy:

5. Damn straight.

Oregon had it on the ballot last year and Monsanto and our own Federal government spent a shit load of money on advertising, TV comercials with fake farmers saying they will go under and how expensive it would be etc....

The Sheeple gobbled it up like a fuqin dewy meadow. It got shot down.... a real sad day for the human race. I mean for christ sake don't people even care about what they are eating?????

3. Monsanto contributed $63,000 to Repugs since 2000

And only $5,000 to Democrats.

9. I spent the past 2 weeks in Greece

and it was SO NICE to not have to worry what kind of shit was going into my food.

I have recently gone on a metabolic-type diet, and trimmed my food budget so I can only buy organic products. I don't trust the USDA, FDA, etc. as far as I can throw them, they have sold out to commercial interests.

Besides, CSA (community-supported agriculture) is a better way to go, since none of us have jobs anymore, it is a more sound economic idea to support your local farmers. Screw agribusiness!

10. Fine, feed it to the FDA's familes for a few years

11. This Story Dovetails Nicely

With the NYT story about the Bush administration intervening in lawsuits against products the FDA approves.
