Since when does a Corporation get to tell the people what is good policy?
Monsanto is full steam ahead to keep people in the dark and unaware of their product placement.

1 Million signatures are ignored.

Where is the Representative gov't?

When a corporation has former execs working in the FDA; and most congressmen are on their payroll; then the corporation can do as it wants to do.

The so called representative government called the FDA is a revolving door with Monsanto and has been for years.
They have infiltrated the government and the government will do their bidding.

We have lost. It's up to you as individuals to know what's in your food because "your" government called the FDA is not really out to protect you.


How many are aware that the person in Monsanto who developed the cow hormone went to work for the FDA and approved her own work and then went back to work at Monsanto ? And how many also know that our FedGov said there was "no conflict of interest" there ?

Go research Margaret Miller (Monsanto worker who worked for FDA when her work was analyzed and approved it).
Then research Margaret Hayden (FDA scientist that got fired)

And in the process LOST all taste. Young Americans may not realize it but fruits and vegetables in supermarkets taste NOTHING like what they used to. Actually they taste like "nothing" but they look oh-so-pretty.

Go get yourself some real food and compare.

This is no different than almost all departments. Our defense related departments are infested with former war profiteers, fiscal departments littered with Wall Street banksters, and enviromental and safety departments full of the worst the chemical companies and pharmeceutical companies can offer.

This is what happenes when you let capitalism go for too long....and oligarchic plutocracy.

This is what you wanted America, have fun with it.

Well, when most people have no other option but to buy this crap (no land to grow it themselves), there is a pretty big problem.

Cronyism, not capitalism. Ethics and morals were thrown to the wayside by people in our government.
