Bernie Sanders Vows to Protect Organic Farming, Calls Out Monsanto As Presidential Campaign Heats Up

snips...

Unlike another candidate running on the democratic platform Hilary Clinton who fully supports GMOs Sanders believes that the biotech companies are “transforming our agricultural system in a bad way.” He says that he stands for the right of the people to know what is in our food (through mandatory GMO labeling that he helped pass in Vermont, an effort that the GMO giants are trying to block through the DARK Act) and supports family-owned and organic agriculture......

Sanders goes on to talk about how his own additions to the Farm Bill would help make this vision a reality for people across the country, and also calls out Monsanto on a key food and GMO-related topic that is being completely ignored by the mainstream media once again.

He also gets a few shots in against the factory farm industry. “We need legislation and efforts designed not to protect factory farming, corporate farming but to protect family-based agriculture,” he says.

1. My number one concern is the environment

So I don't want round up killing bees, shit in the food supply and poison in the ground water.


This is one of the most important aspects of his candidacy, his commitment to the earth and the food supply.

2. One of my major concerns are GMOs. And that was the first issue that turned me off to Hillary.

I want my food fresh and without chemicals. That shouldn't be too much to ask for?

7. Yes.

Food is literally made of chemicals.

4. The one thing about GMO's

that they don't say is it is also about seed control. the want to control seed distribution and eliminate farmers ability to seed save and replant. More reasons to vote for Bernie.
