require the EPA and FDA to uphold stricter guidelines to protect the environment and increase food safety, and to

work together towards creating sustainable and healthy agricultural/health related policies. In such a situation, GMOs should be banned and stricter ingredient labelling should be required. A small fraction of imported seafoods have been tested for mercury, PCBs, and other contaminants that could result in poor health. Policies should work on cleaning the oceans, since many fish are containing more and more contaminants and the garbage Gyres growing (they will be larger than the size of Texas and Japan's nuclear waste will be hitting California within the next several months). Preventative actions must become a priority for the sake of the nation's people as well as the world. If we want to be one of the best countries in the world, our policies must reflect progression.
