This is just a result of FDA and corporate relationships.

I mean, all our food is now Monsanto, and who else would better know how to be a food czar than a Monsanto executive.

Thats just how their corrupt system works. I mean why not appoint a drug czar that was a former executive at GlaxoSmithKline or Pfizer?

I disagree with it all, but that is how it works.

Really important stuff.
too bad more people don't see how we are being controlled -

you are what you eat -
and we are eating untested money making corporate poison.

I'm so glad mr. and mrs obama don't have to eat this anymore -
after all they have that beautiful organic Whitehouse garden -
How wonderful for them.
no genetically modified foods there... no Monsanto there
It's ironic isn't it.

I could have sworn that liberals are into the organic food thing and that Monsanto is evil.

Where is the outrage that their chosen is really putting what they hate the most into a position of power?
