(39,909 posts)The problem is HUGE.
Monsanto has become so powerful.
they OWN a BIG part of the White House and the Obama Administration.
Tom Vilsask (the King of Iowa monocrop GM Corn) was appointed to head the USDA (US Dept of Agriculture) in 2008.
Google: "Vilsack & Monsanto"
Monsanto shill & lawyer 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 agencies that control agriculture in the US are infested with Monsanto and BIG Corpo Factory Farm shills and former employees.
I wouldn't be so upset
IF voices from Organic, Green, Sustainable, Healthy Agriculture were appointed to counterbalance the POWER of Monsanto in the Obama Administration,
but like the voices for Expanding Medicare, these advocates were also purposely excluded.
