Commercial rice supply has been contaminated

Posted in 2006-Aug
According According to the FDA and USDA our rice has been contaminated recently by biotech rice. I can't seem to find out whether or not this is the variety that has the human gene in it. Here is the report www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A7_0_1OB?contententidonly=ture&contentid=2006/08/0307.xml

Interesting that this has not been approved for human consumption, yet the FDA is not concerned about it at all. The company had not sought regulation for it, but the FDA is not at all concerned. Now, try being a farmer and try selling raw milk from your farm. Try selling meat from your farm without having an inspected facility. Try selling prepared food from your farm without a huge investment in a commercial kitchen which must be inspected regularly and see if the FDA considers it no biggie. We want to do what civilization has done forever and we have such restrictions placed on us and yet this biotech company messes up our rice supply jepherdizing our food supply and messing up the purity of our rice supply and rice seeds and possibly our health and it is no big deal...

Have mercy on us,
The Farmer's Wife

It's no wonder so many these days are dying of cancer and other illnesses; if it isn't what we are exposed to, it's what we ingest. How sad. I used to work for a city in your state's health inspector, and it was amazing what they inspected for. Lynn B

Really Strange...

I copied and pasted your rice story link in my browser, and the correct story came up for a split second before re-routing to an error page. Somehow I was able to "select all", then copy and paste the story in the split second it was on my screen and then read it in Notepad. Just thought I would mention it in case others are having trouble getting to this article. Thanks for keeping me up on all this disturbing agriculture news.
