Quality Control

Read Seeds of Deception by Frances Moore Lappe. Our FDA is completly under the control of the biotech industry. Monsanto is our worse enemy. We are growing our own crops now with seeds from Seed Savers of Decorah IA.

Within the last 10 years, pharmaceutical companies have been bombarding consumers with TV ads for depression, arthritis, high cholesterol to name a few. It appears that the FDA may not be giving enough time for conclusive clinical trials to be fully completed prior to getting these drugs to market for doctors. There have been reports out on patients being treated for arthritis while taking heart meds and then dying as a result of the drug interactions. Pharmaceutical companies are making big, really big $$$$$$ by getting their product(s) to market for profit with disregard to the effect(s), either short or long term that their drugs may have on patients with pre-existing condtions. I am not in the medical profession but I pay attention to news reports on these new drugs on the market and the effects they are having on the general public.

Thank you,

No not time to revamp FDA, leave that alone.

It's time to develop an agency which fulfills the role the FDA should be doing for the people.

How sad to see great people from great country doubting for their food and drugs. Our technology to these areas are dwarfed if we do some comparison, we always trusted medicines and foods coming from your country. What comes from our neighbors are worse (save Japan and South Korea), one time I ate biscuit that tastes like Latex paint. Well, I am still alive and kicking.
