NO ONE knows what the long term effects of eating genetically engineered foods will be. We are being used as human guinea pigs!!!! |
n n n I'm Mad As Hell And Not Taking It ...Anymore nn HEAR YEE, HEAR YEE...We Want Organically Grown Foods! We Want Our Foods As Natural And Healthy As Possible! n n n n MONSANTO STOP!!!!At Regulations.gov, consumers can comment on proposed government regulations about genetically engineered foods, food irradiation, global warming, energy policy and many other issues. I think it is Very Important for consumers to comment on proposed regulations!Regulations.gov LINKS n n

In 2001, the eight biotech crops grown in the U. S. increased crop
yields by 4 billion pounds, saved growers $1.5 billion and reduced
pesticide use by 46 million lbs. (Crops: insect-protected corn and cotton,
herbicide-tolerant canola, corn, cotton and soybean, and virus-resistant
papaya and squash) [http://www.ncfap.org].
In June 2003, NCFAP (www.ncfap.org) released the first of three case
studies to estimate the potential impact of biotechnology in Europe: Key
Findings - The widespread adoption of plant biotechnology in maize,
oilseed rape, wheat, rice, tomatoes, potatoes, sugarbeets and stone fruit
in Europe would result in significant yield increases, savings for
growers and pesticide use reductions. All together, the nine biotech crops
would increase yields by 8.5 billion kilograms per year, increase
grower net income by $(EURO)1.6 billion per year and reduce pesticide use by
14.4 million kilograms per year, compared with existing practices that
would be replaced.
Monsanto markets its agricultural biotechnology products in a number of
countries around the world (US, Canada, Japan, Argentina, Europe, South
Africa, Australia, etc.). Each country has separate regulations
regarding food, feed and environmental safety, and we must obtain approval
for a product from all responsible regulatory bodies before it can be
marketed in that country. In addition, grain or food/feed products from
these crops are often exported to other countries and, again, each
country has its own set of requirements to allow imports. The following
website
http://www.oecd.org/department/0,2688,en_2649_34393_1_1_1_1_1,00.html
provides an overview of the regulatory systems of many countries around
the world, as well as links to the specific government agencies.
Biotech Safety and Benefits Information Available on Monsanto Web Site:

"New" Monsanto Pledge
Product Safety Summaries & Peer Reviewed Safety Publications:
http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto/layout/our_pledge/transparency/prod_safety.asp
While much of the safety information has been published in scientific
journals, this is the first time the information has been assembled in
documents that provide a summary of the food, feed, and environmental
safety of each product in a single detailed document and made readily
available through an easily accessible venue like the Internet. Each of
the product safety summaries includes information on molecular
characterizations, food and feed safety assessments, compositional analysis and
nutritional assessments, and environmental safety assessments. The
posted information is a summary of the information reviewed by regulatory
authorities throughout the world. This provides a detailed summary of the
broad array of data and information that is developed for each
agricultural biotech product.
Please visit the Biotech Knowledge Center at
http://www.biotechknowledge.monsanto.com/ . This site and its materials
-- which represent many points of view -- were established to promote a
deeper understanding of food biotechnology and other life sciences, and
the many complex issues associated with them.
Please visit the links at http://pewagbiotech.org/research/harvest/ and
http://www.isaaa.org:
The first link will lead you to the Pew Initiative on Agriculture and
Biotechnology. The Executive Summary report on "Harvest on the Horizon
- Future Uses of Agricultural Biotechnology" is an excellent review of
future potential products of agricultural biotechnology. Within this
Executive Summary is a link
http://pewagbiotech.org/research/harvest/harvest.pdf to the full
report.The second link will take you to the International Service for the
Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA). At this site you will
find a summary of all current biotech products including global
acreages(

This site visitor has consented to have his/her personal information
transferred across national borders.I EAT GENETICALLY ENGINEERED PLANTS!!! ![]() Why aren't the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration protecting us? Protecting Public Health? Protecting Consumers? These agencies are being run by big business for big business! Contact the Food and Drug Administration Contact the U.S. Department of Agriculture at www.usda.gov I would like to see a ban on growing genetically engineered foods. At least there should be mandatory labeling. THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW. I have designed the packaging. ![]() LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK copyright arthur tesla 2005(except for the artwork which belongs to the artists) |
