Sign the petition: Get Monsanto’s Lobbyist out of our FDA
Posted on | September 11, 2011 | No Comments
Sign the Petition to Remove Michael Taylor from the FDA.
Michael Taylor seems focused on entirely the wrong aspects of food safety enforcement. Rather than making sure that food safety inspections are done properly at our nation’s largest factory farms, where antibiotic resistance has run amuck, Taylor has been leading a departmental crusade against small raw milk dairy producers. So far several dairy farmers have been subject to a year-long undercover sting operation from the East Coast to California.
Incredibly, Michael Taylor and FDA inspectors have not arrested or fined the Iowa agribusinessman — Jack DeCoster — who was wholly responsible for the more than 500 million eggs that were recalled in 2010 salmonella-tainted egg recall. 3Though this industrial agribusinessman endangered the health of millions, Michael Taylor thinks Amish farmers producing fresh milk are more deserving targets of his FDA enforcement raids with guns drawn.

A new regulation was introduced this March which stipulates that seeds are supposed to be checked for GMO before they are introduced to the market. Unfortunately, some GMO seeds made it to the farmers without them knowing it. read more…..

Dr. Oz takes a look at GMOs
Posted on | August 10, 2011 | No Comments
Unfortunately, all too believeable — attack anyone who isn’t a research scientist. Then refuse to test GMOs on humans. Why, because you’ve already declared them safe. If they’re safe, there’s no reason to test. And there’s no reason to test because you already declared them safe. Just one BS circular arguement… and we should trust science that refuses to test why?
