A must read book that has true international significance for anybody concerned about their own, and their family members, health and wellbeing.
Steve Druker points out that "what Monsanto wanted (and demanded) from the FDA was a policy that projected the illusion that its foods were being responsibly regulated but that in reality imposed no regulatory requirements at all". That "the US Coordinated Framework for Biotechnology Regulation is based principally in political criteria, not solidly based in science as its proponents claimed."
He graphically explains how if the law "had been obeyed there's little likelihood that any GE food would have entered the nation's kitchens", the FDA has itself " been willfully violating it (the law) for two decades" and "The FDA's policy on GE foods has survived only through widespread confusion". Furthermore, "in addressing the risks posed by genetic engineering,there has been regulatory irresponsibility on a global scale".
Additionally "in its handling of the Pusztai incident, the UK government demonstrated it also desired the disabling of research that could damage the image of biotech - and was just as willing as the US government to effect this in a ruthless manner. Accordingly, although Pusztai's research had been funded by the Scottish government, and was supposed to establish a sounder protocol for future studies on GE food, when it produced embarrassing results, the central goverment shut it down and made sure those engineered potatoes would yield no further distasteful discoveries."
That "due to a malfunction of the American media,false notions about GE foods continue to prevail. Even though the managers of mass communication have been given incontestable evidence of government fraud that's a reckless gamble with public health, they've consistently failed to report it"
This book leaves no doubt whatsoever that the American population, and those in other nations, are now directly standing into danger. The words of 2 American Presidents seem rather apt:
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people". John F. Kennedy
“You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.” Abraham Lincoln
