It's beyond disturbing the MAHA food movement seems to have erased the subject of Genetically Modified foods and instead of focus on GMO harms discussion is about "seed oil" or Ultra processed. The issue of toxic glyphosate also is removed from GMO which are primarily modified to tolerate up to 10 times the glyphosate strength of the driveway weed killer Over a decade ago there were Millions Against Monsanto marching globally now the basic vocabulary along with Monsanto brand have been erased.

Do better identify the harms of GMO novel proteins & patent protected, fee based seeds that have destroyed the historic system of farming & small farmers globally. Adding insult to injury the bulk of USDA subsidy dollars is paid to industrial farms for GMO crops.

HHS, FDA, EPA, and NIH: do your job—protect public health, not industry.

Why are harmful pesticides, harmful additives (ie citric acid) and vague labels like “natural flavors” still allowed in our food? Require full ingredient transparency, including glyphosate, and ban substances linked to harm. (no immunity to liability for pesticide companies)

Why are toxic synthetic fragrances in air fresheners and laundry products still unregulated? Mandate full disclosure of fragrance chemicals and restrict those known to trigger health issues.

And why is NIH still funding cruel animal experiments on dogs, cats, and primates? End taxpayer-funded animal testing and invest in modern, humane alternatives.

Set stricter safety standards. Close regulatory loopholes. Put people—not corporations—first.
