We all saw the oddly considerable attention given to Michelle Obama’s organic garden at the White House, but I saw inconsistency. Barack placed biotech chum Tom Vilsack in the Secretary of Agriculture chair, and more recently named Michael Taylor, a Monsanto lobbyist, to be senior advisor to the Food and Drug Administration. So what’s with the mixed messages here?

The propaganda emerges. Michelle’s organic veggies are toxic. What a catastrophe, right? So what is the government going to do about it?
HR 759: Food Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2009
HR 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
HR 2749: Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009
S 425: Food Safety and Tracking Improvement Act
They’re going to place Orwellian regulations on food which will disproportionately impact small family farms, organic farms, and potentially even family gardens. Monsanto, ADM, Tyson and other enormous agricultural and biotech corporations are sponsoring this legislation. I answered my own question, so I’ll pose a new one.
Who is angry about this? And who is willing to contact their representatives and express their feelings and convictions about this legislation?

Sorry, what is the question?
Why does he have his wife try to make him look better? She does everything she does to try to improve his public relations.
Hard to follow your question but lets just say not everyone in the USA could eat from Michelles garden !
Monsanto is starting to lose in court.
Percy Shmeiser, the Canadian farmer featured in the Future of Food film actually won his appeal after the movie was made in 2004. Also, Monsanto just lost an appeal in Los Angeles court having to do with their alfalfa gmo crap.
That story and other information on organic and gmo is at
