Monsanto & the FDA - A Mutually Supporting Relationship

Monsanto and the FDA have for a long time been partners is duping the public.  The media has ignored the whole sordid mess.  This is just one more example of the government colluding with big business for their benefit, not ours.  Read this first quote and then the second and tell me this is not double talk meant to deceive the public.  Quote #1:  "Quoted in the New York Times Magazine (October 25, 1998, “Playing God in the Garden”), Philip Angell, Monsanto’s director of corporate communications, famously stated: “Monsanto shouldn’t have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food. Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA’s job.”  Quote #2:  "From the Federal Register, Volume 57, No.104, “Statement of [FDA] Policy: Foods Derived from New Plant Varieties,” here is what the FDA had to say on this matter: “Ultimately, it is the food producer who is responsible for assuring safety.”
