2. If American companies really wanted to act like they beleived in science, they would

employ the International Scientific Protocols that every other industrialized nation uses to determine if a product, seed or crop is safe.

But the Big Corporations don't do that. Why should they? They know that as long as they can control the bought and paid for political officials, all will be well.

What tells us that the GM foods and seeds inside the USA are totally safe? Why the doctrine that Mike Taylor put together: when he stated that GM crops were as nutritionally as sound as conventional crops.

No decades of study, No years of study. No week and a half of study. Just a single proclamation.
In the age of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, that was what happened instead of real science. Now in the age of Holy American Corporations, we again have science by proclamation.
But it worked well for Bill Clinton, who had appointed Taylor. And Clinton went on to
get $ 100,000 per speech in front of corporate podium. And it worked out well for Mr Taylor who now heads a division at the FDA.

The only people it is not working out for are all the people popping Prilosec 24/7 who can't figure out why their tummies and digestive systems no longer work as well as their parents' generation of tummies and digestive systems worked.
