Is The FDA Doing Their Job?

The government and the FDA should be the ones that protect us, the citizens, from any harm or dangerous chemicals that could be put in our food.  It is the job of the FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, to test and check these things out.  They are allowing bugs in our food and genetically engineered food products to be sold to us without our knowledge.  At least tell us which food contains GMOs.  I believe that the government has been lying to us about a lot of other things rather than just food.  I understand that by using these GMOs we can feed a lot more people, but we are not doing that. Americans waste nearly half of the food that we eat.  It is a crazy phenomenon, but scientists that are engineering these GMOs need to work out all the kinks before the time comes that we need to feed 9 billion people on the planet.
