Glaring Loophole Exists in the GMO Food Right to Know Act

The Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act allows food to be exempted from the GMO label requirement purely by bureaucratic caveat. In an obvious nod to Big Ag and its de facto ownership of the USDA and FDA, the Act allows GMO foods to ignore labeling requirements if they do not have testing regulations from the Secretary of Agriculture for that particular food.

In other words, the Secretary and his non-elected bureaucrats (whose history are "replete" with nothing but honest behavior..3) will be the ones who come up with these "regulations."

The Author Points Out:

Most Americans seem content to blindly stuff anything that tastes good into their mouths and happily believe the propaganda given to them promoting poisons, untested derivatives, and worse. As Americans rush to find more affordable health care to take care of their continually declining health, they turn a blind eye to the real causes behind their chronic woes.

This has been the pattern for many so called regulation bills it puts the regulations in the hands of people easily or already corrupted.

We need real regulation again and the modern Democrats don't seem to have the spines for it, and the GOP are helping the deregulators.

Both methods would be fine by me.

But as you know it is very very rare that anyone even near the top goes down when the DOJ investigates anyone.
