Unrestrained factory agriculture is what caused it. Regarding your dockets listed in the subject line: The FDA must require mandatory pre-market comprehensive environmental review. The FDA must require mandatory pre-market long-term health testing. GE products could be toxic, cause allergic responses, have lower nutritional value, and compromise immune responses in consumers. The FDA must require mandatory labeling of GE products. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO TO FOOD I DON'T WANT TO EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without mandatory labeling, neither consumers nor health professionals will know if an allergic or toxic reaction was the result of a genetically engineered food. TRYING TO MAKE AN END-RUN AROUND LAWSUITS, ARE YOU? * The FDA must end its cozy relationship with the industries it purports to be regulating. DAMN STRAIGHT!!!! People have been allowed to work for a biotech company, then work for the FDA writing the regulatory rules on that company's product, then go back to oworking for the company. Ninety-two percent of FDA advisory committee meetings had at least one conflict of interest. HOW ABOUT PROTECTING THE CONSUMER FOR A CHANGE?
