Who does the testing
If the biotech companies do the safety testing themselves, then of course they don't find any adverse health effects or risk of allergic reactions from eating their GMOs. Nor any environmental risks of GMOs, either. That is the fox guarding the hen house, at it's worst. Unbiased studies show different effects from GMOs and great cause for concern. The AMA is not on the side of consumers on this issue, from the looks of it. More favorable to the GMO food industry. Sounds like they are more interested in 'educating' the consumers about how great the GMOs are, instead of letting us know we are eating them, and finding out for ourselves if they are safe for us, or not. And if they are so safe, as claimed, why are the biotech companies spending mega-millions of dollars to fight against labeling, and the peoples right to know. Think about that. And think about who's side the AMA is 'really' on.
