Watch what you eat--it might be genetically modified, and the Bush Administration doesn't care if you know: "In mid-December, Syngenta told the EPA, the Agriculture Department and the Food and Drug Administration (news - web sites) about the mistake, [Syngenta spokeswoman Sarah] Hull said."
The EPA, however, kept silent, increasingly sure that the release did not pose a health hazard.
The premise of a conservative economic program is deregulation--so that consumers make decisions about their lives and the risks that they take, and not the government. This Bush Administration action turns this on its head.
The government is convinced that We the People cannot make such risk assessments, and prefers to make them for us.
