This past week we stumbled across an article by Jeffrey Smith (author of the book “Seeds of Deception”) about the new Food Safety Czar that was being appointed by the White House. Normally not something that would make mainstream news (which it didn’t) or that anyone would really pay attention to (which most haven’t).
The scary news though is exactly who this new czar is going to be and the history he was with food products over the last couple of decades that may have had more changes impacted on the average human being’s health than any other person. The actions that this man has taken might make McDonald’s look like a viable competitor with a Jenny Craig health food ad.
Here’s a clip from the article:
But the biotech industry had rigged the game so that neither science nor scientists would stand in their way. They had placed their own man in charge of FDA policy and he wasn’t going to be swayed by feeble arguments related to food safety. No, he was going to do what corporations had done for decades to get past these types of pesky concerns. He was going to lie.
If you’re worried about genetically modified (GM) foods, you should really take a few minutes and read this article. If you’d like to know a little bit more about what happens to the food we’re eating and where it’s coming from, read this article. If you’d rather not know, and just keep eating like nothing is changing and it’s the way it’s always been, then move along, there’s nothing to see here.
You’re Appointing Who? Please Obama, Say It’s Not So!
If you do read the article, I’d love to hear your opinions.
