Pesticide Regulation
GMO and pesticides are not well studied. There is govt and corporate malfeasance afoot!!
Date: 1/21/2013 3:44:12 AM ( 11 y ) ... viewed 10130 times Pesticide and G.M.O. Regulation
{G.M.O. = Genetically Modified Organisms}
Here are a few interesting facts:
From 1988 to 1995, more than 65 bills were introduced in Congress to tighten pesticide regulations. None of them passed.
More than half of the EPA regulators who retired since 1990 have been hired by pesticide and chemical industry corporations or their lobby groups [they now work to lobby against EPA regulations, or were "rewarded" for approving dangerous and untested products when they did work at the EPA]
The Chemical Cartel now runs the Farm Lobby too. Independant farmers have little choice but to go along with what companies such as Monsanto demand; Monsanto has wrangled farmers into bankruptcy and then bought their farms for cheap.
By the way, I also read today that when the news was about to come out about GMOs being partly responsible for the Bee Colony Collapse, Monsanto BOUGHT THE RESEARCH COMPANY that was doing the study and the report. {"Monsanto scooped up the Beeologics firm in September 2011"}
But what about HUMAN HEALTH and GMOs? Who knows? Nobody knows... no studies. Well, none that were credible.
Studies on G.E. crops have been an obvious farce - they are all done by Monsanto and other GE companies, none of them tested the combination of the GE foods AND the pesticides intended to be used with those crops, and none of the studies have been replicated, or peer reviewed outside the company.
FINALLY, the two that were done by independant scientists FOUND SIGNIFICANT health harms from cancer to organ damage, endocrine disruptions and early death. In Rats, ya, but...

* U.S. regulators at the Food and Drug Administration do not require independent studies verifying safety before approving the release of these products into our food supply.
Have a nice day!!
