 "So here we are, 150 years after Mendel's elegant scientific breakthroughs, stuck with lots of gmo products in the field, on the market, and in our diets without knowing all the potential risks to the food chain, our health, or the environment. How did this progress so rapidly?
Most of these changes were brought about through the government elimination of regulatory roadblocks and administrative foot-dragging, but let us explore how. The first Reagan administration put GMO regulations on a fast track to enable the corporations to get products on the shelf as soon as possible."- Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.) "Ever since the earliest days of the Reagan administration in 1980 there was little mandatory oversight of gmo products from any federal regulatory agency, whether the EPA, the USDA, or the FDA. Unfortunately, it was no different in the Democratic administration of Clinton and Gore. Monsanto, Novartis, DuPont, and Hoechst literally got everything they wanted from the Clinton-era regulators. And unlimited, unregulated product promotions and product research continue to this day under Bush-Cheney. The regulators still ask few if any questions at their elegant luncheons with corporate officials." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.) "These victories enabled corporations to slip gmo products into the U.S. market untested and unlabeled. Consequently, U.S. consumers currently serve as the major guinea pigs in the consumption of transgenic products from millions of acres of unsupervised experiments with crops and animals. In the 1930s there were 100,000,000 human guinea pigs being fed arsenic, lead, sulfuric acid, and cyanide on their food. Now, there are 300,000,000 guinea pigs eating genetically altered food with nerve poisons on it." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.) |
 "She was at the time the Socialist Party's ranking member on the Environment Committee, and one of the lead figures developing a policy that would replace the temporary moratorium with an approval process for GMOs based on scientific review, as well as guidelines for labeling gmo products after their approval.
For the Bush administration and the biotech industry, Scheele was key to reopening Europe's lucrative market."- Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.) "At the same time, regions are striking independent trade deals as a means of ensuring that no gmo products enter their territory. The French province of Brittany, for example, has an ongoing import agreement with the Brazilian state of Manas Gerais to supply GMO-free corn and soybeans, a deal that was specifically driven by the province's desire for non-GMO grain.17 Fifteen years ago that deal for corn and soybeans could very well have been struck with the state of Iowa or any other corn-producing American state, which long was a major supplier of grains to Europe." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.) |
