1. It is inconceivable that Trump's FDA toady

who prior to his appointment was a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute ( a conservative "think-tank" ) won't just toss this letter in the wastebasket.

If Dems get a House majority in 2018 and thereby committee chairs, and thereby subpoena power maybe he can get some of his questions answered. Maybe.

2. In food....less meals, less meat...more organic vegetables....

5. Agreed - actually the less I eat, the better I feel

and I eat 95% organic.

3. "Monsanto's Roundup Herbicide...

May Be Most Important Factor in Development of Autism and Other Chronic Disease".
<snip>
"In recent weeks, we've learned some very disturbing truths about glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's broad-spectrum herbicide Roundup, which is generously doused on genetically engineered (GE) Roundup Ready crops".

"GE crops are typically far more contaminated with glyphosate than conventional crops, courtesy of the fact that they're engineered to withstand extremely high levels of Roundup without perishing along with the weed".

"A new peer-reviewed report authored by Anthony Samsel, a retired science consultant, and a long time contributor to the Mercola.com Vital Votes Forum, and Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), reveals how glyphosate wrecks human health".

"In the interview above, Dr. Seneff summarizes the two key problems caused by glyphosate in the diet":

Nutritional deficiencies
Systemic toxicity

"Their findings make the need for labelling all the more urgent, and the advice to buy certified organic all the more valid".

EPA Glyphosate 'Safe' Levels May Be Dangerously High

"A new study on glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup—one of the world's most widely used weedkillers—is fueling persistent concerns about the pesticide's impact on sexual development, genotoxicity and intestinal bacteria, even when exposure is limited to a level currently considered "safe" by U.S. regulators..."
