(hypoallergenic dogs) FDA pushes for “frankenmeat” (WTSP - Tampa Bay’s 10 News)

Such animals are genetically altered — their genes are either changed or genes from another animal are added — for a specific purpose. The FDA states that such animals either produce drugs; serve as models for human disease; produce industrial or consumer products, such as fiber; or have improved food-use qualities, such as being more nutritious. The proposed regulations would require FDA review of each application to ensure that any food sold for human consumption is safe and that the animal’s health would not be damaged in the process. The rules don’t require the labeling of meat or milk from engineered animals approved by the FDA, something the advocacy group Consumers Union finds "incomprehensible. So the FDA can’t tell the public what applications have been made or what the companies want to do, says Alison Van Eenennaam, a professor of animal genomics at the University of California at Davis. That’s not going to work when it comes to genetically engineered farm animals, says Gregory Jaffe, director of the Biotechnology Project at the non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington D.

WaterSense-labeled products are independently tested and certified to meet EPA’s criteria for both efficiency and performance. New WaterSense-labeled toilets use less than 1.

Topic: hypoallergenic dogs - Mary Hanna column: What's new, Pussycat? - The Argus

Encountering a perfume sample in a magazine can send my lungs into a near-fatal spasm, but I don’t mind pet hair. As I was waiting for my eyes to stop watering, I wondered if this was a one-time thing or if my pets would forever after cause me to cough up a lung every time I got near them. I didn’t give the faux pooches another thought until the morning my lungs reacted violently to cat hair. There’s no calmer pet than one that’s been stuffed with 100 percent polyester fiberfill.
