Jan 2013

Tom Vilsack, the Iowa King of GM Corn was appointed to run the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) in 2008.

Google: "Vilsack & Monsanto"

Michael Taylor was appointed to head the FDA (Food & Drug Administration).

Google: "Michael Taylor & Monsanto"

And THAT is only the tip of the iceberg.
The USDA and FDA are a revolving door between our government and Monsanto
and the other HUGE Factory Farm Conglomerates.

I wouldn't object if this influence were counterbalanced with representatives of the Organic, Green, Healthy Foods, Sustainable Multiculture movements,
but they are not. Like the advocates for Expanding Medicare, these voices have been purposely excluded.

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.
