Bernie Slams Giant Food Corporations: "We can grow food in this country that is healthy."

[deepestblue]

"I believe there should be labeling on the food products that
we eat, whether they're GMOs or what not.

"We are taking on large corporations who make billions
of dollars a year and they do whatever they can to suppress
the truth.

"And that is the culture that we have got to change in
this country from top to bottom.

"We can grow food in this country that is healthy.

"We can do it in a way that workers are treated with dignity
and respect and earn a decent wage.

"But we can't do it unless you have a president and a
congress prepared to stand up to these large corporations."

1. Any rules requiring that food "be healthy" will probably violate TTIP.

2. "*Healthful* describes something that will create good health, Healthy describes someone fit...

...and utterly not sick."

3. I agree. At the same time, the food itself can also be healthy Itself, or not

4. Thanks for the video particularly.

I haven't had the opportunity to see very much of this - a candidate taking the time to listen to people's concerns. I like the respectful way he does this.
