| Message | These seem like responses which are a bit harsh. I called for stronger action on the environment but agribusiness should be part of our sustainable development strategy and these moves seem to hamper that. |

| Message | Frankenfoods are unnatural and are a net harm to our ecology because of the amount of petrochemicals required for their production. Other toxins harm our water and our air. |
