-Caveat Lector- For all you Big Government Lovers - why Statist Regulation is an oxymoron. Not that this is anything new with Bush. Al Gore's cousin and Monsanto Flunky pushed BGH (AKA cow pus enhancer) through the FDA. flw Bush Names Monsanto Executive To Top EPA Position 5-3-1 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An executive with Monsanto Co (MON.N), a leading developer of biotech foods, has been nominated for the second-ranking job at the Environmental Protection Agency, the White House said on Tuesday. Linda Fisher, who worked for the EPA for 10 years before heading Monsanto's Washington lobbying office, was nominated for the post of deputy administrator. Fisher also served on a U.S. Agriculture Department advisory committee on biotech foods. One of the major issues currently before the EPA is a request from Aventis SA (AVEP.PA) to approve a genetically- modified corn known as StarLink for human consumption. StarLink, a variety altered to repel pests, was barred from human food in 1998 due to concerns that it might trigger allergic reactions in some people. The discovery of StarLink contamination in taco shells last autumn prompted a massive recall of more than 300 kinds of snack chips, corn flour and other foods. Aventis contends the corn is safe and poses no risk to people who eat it. The EPA, which regulates plants altered to produce their own pesticides, is also considering whether to renew the registration of Bt corn, cotton and potato varieties that were approved six years ago. The registrations are set to expire in September. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
