If you want organic options to remain in the food supply, please kindly take action. Even if you don’t buy organic, you may want to keep genetically engineered (GE) foods out of your body. If the posed deregulated GE alfalfa is allowed to be planted anywhere, it will contaminate organic and other non-GE plants via cross wind pollination.

We don’t know how safe GE alfalfa is to our systems. It took many years to reason high fructose corn syrup may not be properly absorbed by the body and most likely causes us to gain more weight than regular white sugar.

The possible deregulation doesn’t just affect alfalfa. It affects anything you eat that uses alfalfa in its production like cattle and honey. The more they consume, the more concentrated the genetically engineered crop is in their system. The more you consume of this source, the more you have in YOUR system. This is why we humans have been encouraged to limit our consumption of big bodied and thereby mercury enriched tuna.

Deregulation concerns me. The US deregulated certain components of finance and you see how well that worked for us. More specifically to this letter, deregulation of alfalfa will set a precedent that will allow for other crop deregulation similar to the domino effect of what happened in finance.
