GE foxes invited to guard USDA henhouse

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 
shocked the American public with its hasty approval of 3 highly controversial GE crops in a row 
- alfalfa, 
- sugar beets 
and 
- ethanol corn. 
In doing so, the agency effectively thumbed its nose at U.S. federal courts 
and spit in the face of consumers and farmers alike. 
Now, USDA has apparently decided that getting sued for ignoring U.S. environmental laws 
is getting to be too much of a hassle. 
why not let Monsanto evaluate the potential harms of its new transgenic products? 
It’ll be so much quicker this way. And save USDA a lot of money.
