"Beginning in 1997, the FDA moved from the petition process to what it calls “GRAS Notification,” which essentially allowed food manufacturers to “self certify” new additives and claim they were safe and ready for FDA approval without much opposition. "
Shameful omission in GRAS leap to substantial equivalents & Notification as part of BushSr-Quayle policy of deregulation for biotech and GMO ingredients. Masked in terms about seed oils is a full spectrum of Monsanto GMO crops that are novel proteins and soaked in levels of glyphosate & other toxins. For a group purported to be exposing fraud in public health the absence of attribution for Biotech Mafia patent protected mutants stinks like week old fish.
Ronnie Cummins (deceased) from Organic Consumers wrote and published several high quality books on Monsanto's GMO seeds.
Dr. Stephanie Seneff PhD from MIT has testified in federal court as to the damage done to the human gut that spreads to chronic illness and loss of quality of life from glysophate combined with genetically altered food plant genes.
The people trying their hardest to avoid GMO foods sold in grocery stores find it impossible to do so because absolutely nothing is labeled. Nobody has a definitive list of every GMO food for sale in the US food marketplace. Such a list existed at least through the 1990s.
Does Monsanto even report newly created Genetically Engineered vegetables and fruit any more?
Are all of the recent GE vegetables and fruit even submitted to the GRAS list (despite the virtually non-existent review process)?
We need all GMOs removed from our food supply asap!!
Thanks for sharing, Susan! I will look into Mr. Cummin's writings on the GMO Seeds. Have you been following Matthew @MyHealthForward on Instagram? A very smart young man who has compiled LISTS of organic farms across the US, and he also sells his own non-gmo organic plant seeds. I've purchased many seeds from Matthew. He has a good website too. Best wishes.
We are so very thankful for what RFK, Jr. is going to do in the regulation of poisons in our food products! Thank you for covering this in such detail.
The spraying in the sky is getting worse, please put an end to this. We can avoid toxic foods, but we cannot avoid breathing the chemicals they are spraying over our heads!
A little off topic, but relevant nonetheless, the need to rein in the ACIP committee, the drug advisory unit for the CDC that recommends if a new drug or vaccine should be approved for use. I have only watched about a dozen or so, but they are so galling they make my heart race and my brain swell. Multiple doctors and research scientists will raise serious concerns and cast doubt or wholly discount "approved" studies as totally fraudulent for specific reasons and ask for more verifiable studies until truly proven safe and effective. Then the chair will call for a vote and get unanimous approval. It's a rubber stamp factory. Go with the flow and keep your job or vote your conscience and lose it! The administrators should not lose their jobs.......they should be arrested, tried, convicted and spend the rest of their misery creating lives, that have had such deleterious effects on a multitude of trusting souls, behind bars for crimes against humanity.
Equally important would be to end protection for Pharma when they harm us with their toxic vaccines. How many other crimes get full exoneration no matter what? Since when has assault with a deadly weapon been deemed socially acceptable in any other venue?
One of the worst additives allowed decades ago, is monosodium glutamate! (and along the same lines, as aspartame). They are both NEUROTOXINS, approved by the FDA under “GRAS”. What a joke! Bad for everyone, especially children, though not everyone has migraines or diarrhea from it immediately, but it will catch up to people. My husband had migraines and we have researched it for 45 years. It’s bad for everyone, but especially children. And look at where they added it, flavored potato chips, many processed foods, because it’s a flavor enhancer, not a preservative, and it is not an allergen, it is a toxin. So companies can use cheaper meats and it will still taste good to the consumer. Hope they get rid of this! It should’ve been out of our food long ago! Crazy!
Please address the toxins being sprayed over our heads!! STOP TOXIC GEOENGINEERING. If this is ignored everything else is moot.
Back off bot!
I wrote a substack on this very issue. I think you'll find it quite interesting, if I do say so myself.
Thank God for Secretary Kennedy.

And BAN MONSANTO!!!

This is one case where mowing the GRAS makes sense.
Thank you…. Finally we will assist Americans in a healthy life.
Thank you. So glad you are doing this important work. We are praying for your success in MAHA.
Fantastic Bobby. As promised. Now vaccines. You are a blessing for Americans
NO! NO VACCINES, OLD OR NEW! We don't need vaccines for the reasons they're developing them.
My comment is now to deal with vaccines. I agree - we do not need ANY OF THEM. I am so sorry I vaccinated my kids
Baby steps!! Thank you for the report.

Good comment RE: GeoEngineering
