Have you ever had the feeling of being in a car with a manic when they put their foot down? It is not a matter of if you are going to crash, just how much it is going to hurt and cost. Sounds like daddy just gave the GMO industry the keys to a nice big V8. Better put your seat belt on.

Well to be fair this is a very biased site. Why don't you put up the other side of the story as to why they are doing it so we can make a more informed decision about this topic.

I don't even have words...

Did you bother to read the article that was under the quote?

They are doing it because the USDA feels that current studies on the potential for harm and damage that GMO crops may have takes too long and is not efficient enough.

Basically they are selling out to the GMO industry... If you read the article they cited a case where a GMO crop was able to be planted and farmed before testing was even completed as to wether or not it could be potentially harmful so they obviously don't care to begin with or are already reaching into the GMO industries pockets.

Bottom line is if you let an industry regulate itself nothing good can come from it.

If the USDA set the testing standards and held the GMO industry to it, that could be reasonable.

But of course they won't.

And of course if efficiency/timeliness was the real issue, USDA could hire more people! That would be a better solution. Doesn't everyone want a bigger government?

Yes - we're in deep trouble.

Can't say that i'm surprised. Flash enough cash and there goes government oversight.

When you realise that the same few captains of industry at the top
have overseen, orchastrated and brought about the needless
deaths of untold millions throughtout lifetimes, you begin to see
just how little your own individual life means to these controllers.
This is profit based politics/corruption.

What's another few million deaths, eh?

It's ok though. I guess ye Americans can afford to wait until
it gets a whole lot worse before acting.

I would like to say I agree that this Is a very bad move for the U.S. But upon thinking about it I got another question in my head. How come people complain about too much government intrusion and regulation yet when the oversight goes away you then complain the government isn't doing enough or that the big companies are taking over? It's either big government or big corporations. Where's the big "people"
