Doctors Warn: Avoid Genetically Modified Food

Scientists at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had warned about all these problems even in the early 1990s. According to documents released from a lawsuit, the scientific consensus at the agency was that GM foods were inherently dangerous, and might create hard-to-detect allergies, poisons, gene transfer to gut bacteria, new diseases, and nutritional problems. They urged their superiors to require rigorous long-term tests. But the White House had ordered the agency to promote biotechnology and the FDA responded by recruiting Michael Taylor, Monsanto’s former attorney, to head up the formation of GMO policy. That policy, which is in effect today, denies knowledge of scientists’ concerns and declares that no safety studies on GMOs are required. It is up to Monsanto and the other biotech companies to determine if their foods are safe. Mr. Taylor later became Monsanto’s vice president.

Another example of the revolving door policy between industry and government and the result - doom on we the sheeple.

I was however pleased to find that the #3 result of a google search for Monsanto was this one:

Re: Doctors Warn: Avoid Genetically Modified Food

I don't think you need doctors or scientists from the FDA to tell you GMO crops are inherently dangerous. These kinds of things are so obvious all you need is common sense, a little bit of deduction, and a healthy dose of governmental scepticism.
