FrankenFood

The FDA's refusal to require labeling of GM (genetically modified) foods has sent shockwaves throughout the scientific community. Along with the fear of "Frankenfish" (scroll down to previous Ping) escaping from fish farming habitat and infecting the wild salmon population, GM produced corn, soy, and other experimental crops have been found to infect adjoining farm crops. How far can this contamination reach with the wind likely spreading pollen everywhere.
There is mounting evidence that GM foods may not be safe for consumption, however the human experiment continues under the close supervision of no one.
This is another example of a government agency failing to protect the welfare of the people they are sworn to safeguard.
