*How the GE Food Venture Has Been Chronically Dependent on Deception*

*Synopsis: *The first examples of GE products investigated by the Food and
Drug Adminstration (FDA) were a disaster. A GE tryptophan supplement
unexpectedly contained a toxic byproduct that permanently maimed hundreds
of people and killed others, while the Flavr Savr tomato produced stomach
lesions and unexplained mortality in mice. In both cases, the responsible
agency, FDA, covered up the evidence and officially proclaimed there was no
evidence of harm due to genetic engineering. The safety of GMOs is not a
certitude argues attorney Steven Druker, instead, problems have been
covered up and the scientific consensus has been misrepresented. Largely
ignored in this deception has been the role of public officials.

The author: Steven M. Druker is a public interest attorney and the
executive director of the Alliance for Bio-Integrity.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic
society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of
our country.”—Edward Bernays, Propaganda
