    So, um, about the OP: The question is how to reverse course on this. I mean, these proteins are literally so widespread at this point that pretty much everything we eat is injected with them, and thanks to the government playing favorites with the rules, organic alternative are going to be prohibitively expensive for most the population for a while yet.

    I think the key is making certain this doesn't happen again. Simple testing of the proteins would have most likely turned up these side effects, and while in most instance I think the FDA does overstep, this is one of those ones where they really do need to be proactive. Something being introduced to so much of our food supply obviously needs to be cleared first, not just blindly thrown in and see what happens.

    For addressing the OP.

    I think the key is making certain this doesn't happen again. Simple testing of the proteins would have most likely turned up these side effects, and while in most instance I think the FDA does overstep, this is one of those ones where they really do need to be proactive.

    Consider that the Big Companies are catering to the export demands by providing food free of Genetic Engineering. We should pressure Government to both label genetically engineered food, and provide safe food as an alternative, for starters. In a perfect World, the EPA should take it up the ass, and fund the cost out of It's Pension and Retirement fund, in return we can promise not to prosecute. ..... Ring..... Ring..... Ring...... Oh shit, I over slept again. I hope I wasn't talking in my sleep, again.
