The biggest threat to public health? The agracultural giants.
Monsanto has a history of suing small farmers which have the misfortune to be located downwind of another Monsanto-seeded farm.
-The wind naturally blows pollen around.
-They test for traces of their propretary-rights genetic material, and then bill the farmers for supposedly using their seed.
-"Even if you're not using our seed, pay us, or get sued out of business".
This has created a virtual monopoly for America's largest food source. Not only is corn heavily subsidized, but their bigwigs sit on the FDA board.
More importantly, the genetic diversity of the crop itself dissapears: greatly reducing nutritional value, and setting up this country for disaster.
Want to talk about bio-warfare? All China/NK/Iran/etc. has to do is engineer a single dominant genetic trait which kills Monsanto corn.
