The FDA does such a good job of making sure every thing is labeled. I hope
they will label all this new Genetically Engineered stuff. I think we
have a right to know if our milk is from injected cows or our tomatos or
corn is Genetically altered. I think if someone fools with the DNA of
what we eat we should be told. You know some countrys are banning that
kind of stuff the least we should do is label it. I hope the FDA will
support full disclosure. Wouldn't it be funny if the tobacco people had
to list the 600 chemicals they add to tobacco. I know people are getting
tired of hearing about this but the flood gates are open and genetically
engineered tomatos and corn are soon to hit the market. I got a feeling
that now that mankind can change the DNA of stuff we are in for all kinds
of fun trying to guess at what is real. We should be able to count on
the FDA for a little help here. The new labels look good and the FDA has
done a good job. Now I hope they will take this next step so we can tell
if we are eating something genetically engineered or natural.I'm not
talking about grafting and crossbreeding I'm talking about playing with
the DNA and stuff like that.
