Red Health Warning!! - WTF?? - OMG!! - A quote...."Despite widespread opposition from food safety, environmental and watchdog groups, as well as health professionals and concerned consumers, the USDA has paved the way for the commercial use of genetically engineered crops dubbed “Agent Orange” corn and soybeans. - In its Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) released Friday, the agency said that its “preferred” option for Dow AgroSciences’ “Enlist” corn and soybean, genetically engineered (GE) to be resistant to the herbicide 2,4-D, is to deregulate them. -- 2,4-D, the third most widely used herbicide in the U.S., is made by Dow Chemical, and was a component of Agent Orange. The herbicide has been linked to Parkinson's, birth defects, reproductive problems, and endocrine disruption." - also posted at RINF In their NEVER ENDING QUEST to make sure absolutely no foreign nation would EVER want to import ANY agricultural product from this country AGAIN, the US-NRE's ChemAgro (they're one and the same now!) industries have completely jumped the shark and exceeded anyone's wildest expectations!! |
