Sounds like a good idea on paper but do food safety standards even exist in the USA? Cows are full of bovine, Chickens born and die in cages and your crops are pumped full of chemicals by Monsanto 666. Enforce regulation in your own country before demand others to do so. Also, stop food dumping. You are destroying the agriculture industries of developing countries. Democrat or Republican, i would support them if they stopped being the bitch for corporations.


Yes, they do.  If there weren't, eating would be a lot more risky than it is.  What you're referring to has nothing to do with food safety and more to do with animal rights and how you personally feel about these things being done.  There's not definitive proof that the way we do things has any detrimental side effects to our health.

I though putting bovine hormone in cows meant puberty happened a bit earlier than it should of for humans and also made them fatter. And i'm sure what Monsanto did to wheat can't be good when there have been no proper tests on GM food. Also, i know it don't matter how cattle lived in how it affects our health but they taste so much better if they were organic. Things just need to be done on a smaller and more local scale and they should be fine. 

You'd believe wrong...  The science tends to show that isn't the case... and it really just makes sense becaus the hormones break down when digested.  The whole thing was just a wives tale created because kids seemed to be maturing early and as society does, it just tried to blame the first thing that sounds possible to the common person without any research.  The most likely considered "culprit"? obesity.   That is, if you consider 1 year diffrence in a small sample significant.

Pretty much all the vegetabels i get are locally grown organic foods, but people GREATLY overexaggerate the positive health benefits of such foods due to wives tales like this. Really in general the health food world is 60% old wive's tales, 30% modern myths and maybe 10% actual science.
