I have been following GMOs for quite some time and the fact that the FDA permitted them to be introduced into our food supply in the early 1990s without proper testing is alarming. During the Clinton administration, Michael Taylor of the FDA allowed recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) in our milk without testing, declaring it…

Not sure what to think of this. I'm waiting to see who has been in charge of this harvest. My guess is that it will lead to someone who worked for Monsanto at the time and has now begun the process of growing the wheat on their own. I will be interested in seeing how…

This story is upsetting for several reasons. Of more concern to me than the teacher's situation, is the fact that the school system is asking such questions. No doubt, this is most likely a part of Common Core. That's a very serious situation for another day. The teacher was perfectly right to teach the students…

Where do I begin? Fracking has been an industry standard since the 40s. My Father was one of the 1st Contractors (Drillers) to use fracking here in Kansas. Compared to what was used before, fracking is so much safer and better for the environment. There is no way fracking can be a pollution problem. Most fracking is done with sand and water forced into the hole under immense pressure. Please…

Californians proudly tout being good stewards of the environment even though there are probably over 30 million cars on their highways. Fracking is supposed to be safe and economical. However, the anti-frackers are crying out that it is totally unsafe. With all of the EPA regulations as well as other regulations in place, how could fracking be unsafe? Wake-up California!…
