President-Elect Trump:
With the exception of your appointments that are responsible for the safety of our nation from the outside, the most important are for Secretary of Agriculture, EPA, and FDA. Those three are responsible for the safety of our nation from within in our food supply and for the environment.
Our agriculture system is a train wreck waiting to happen. We are in the process of poisoning ourselves with genetically engineered crops gone wrong and with the very toxic pesticides used with them that follow the crop through various paths to the dinner table. The most widespread pesticide, glyphosate (Roundup), used everywhere in our country has been determined to be carcinogenic by the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer, yet the EPA continues to approve its use. The EPA continues to approve even more toxic and dangerous chemicals to spread in the environment. The FDA approval process for genetically engineered crops and now fish is a joke; one controlled by the giant seed/chemical companies. It must stop.
It was just reported that the average life span in the United States has declined for the first time in many decades. I believe it will continue to decline as long as we pursue unsustainable and dangerous production methods of our most critical need: food.
It remains to be seen what your appointees will do. I have concerns.
