there is government tie-in as well, hillary clinton had some involvement, and i think elder george bush was involved at some point too, not sure, no time to check right now

you think these guys are running scared of the FDA? or do you think it's the other way around..
yeah buddy, conspiracy indeed

part of the problem is - there's just too many damn ppl running around!
that's the 'justification' at the end of the day here, to produce enuff food to feed the masses
(with the byproduct of a few select ppl getting very rich off the implementation of such)
unfortunately, just like we have ignored the environmental issues and all we have done to destroy it (in order to survive & thrive), so too have we ignored the fact we are destroying the very thing that we claim to worry about keeping us alive - ie food!

is a mess indeed, my friend. :ugh:

i would love to see a run down like this of the people involved at adm...imo, adm is even more influential than monsanto!!!

then we have big pharma....the gov is pushing flu vaccines, but there was a big scandal with contaminated batches a few years back due to poor quality control...so what does the gov do-tells same company to clean up it's act and then rewards bad behavior with an even bigger contratct, without even doing follow up inspections...flu shot anyone????


like i said....take those multi's boys and girls!!!!

ok, for comparison a new drug coming on the market has to [suppossedly anyways] pass a stringent set of guidelines and studies must be done. then they do clinical trials usually double blind to test the efficacy and to check for side effects.....


they can alter the food supply with very little interferance. they have altered the dna of certain seeds to grow with only 10% of the water normally required-this sounds great at 1st when you think about the famine stricken countries in africa that are prone to drought....


but by mutating the dna of the food supply, what effects will this have after 10 years??? so much money will have been made, and they will have been elevated to hero status by the time kids with 2 heads are being born...they probably look at this as an acceptable risk.
