Comments:

Question 6a--I'm not convinced that genetically engineered foods are bad for us. Isn't this just a better way of doing things? progress?

Question 7--I support a strict ban on feeding slaughterhouse waste to farm animals and an increase in testing for Mad Cow disease but I don't think we have to test every animal until we start seeing more cases with positive results.

Question 8--When is it dumping and when is it humanitarian aid?

Question 11--I also support an increase in minimum wages so that fewer people would need food stamps.
