George you got it right. Michael Taylor, former Monsatan hack is now the head of USDA's food safety program. Yaah!!! He advised against safety testing of biotech and was part of the double talk that makes frankenfoods "substantially equivalent" to regular/organic food, yet patentable. Check out their war against farmers saving seeds and punishing those who inadvertently grew their patented brand of evil due to wind, poop droppings and other means. The revolving door makes the US govt a wholly owned subsidiery of international capital. Follow the $$$$ Tony Del Plato
