FDA, USDA, Congress & AMA completely corrupt with Biotech money

Big Agro continues to pollute our food supply with toxic pesticides and GMO foods when there is substantial evidence that such practices do harm to our health and environment. They have the regulatory agencies controlled by their endless money which is in part subsidized by our tax payers, yet they have no accountability or labeling requirements to prove the long term safety of such products. Regulators simply look the other way and make excuses for them. This is a complete outrage and so typical of the corrupting influence of special interest money over politicians and regulators.

Make no mistake, there is NOTHING natural about Genetically modified food, in which toxic substances are inserted into the plants DNA. There's nothing safe about Glyphosates and dioxins, regardless of the lies to the contrary.
Would you really want to feed this poison to your baby if you knew there was a chance it could harm? Yet we are prevented from knowing the truth due to the pseudo science and propaganda upheld by these virtually unregulated Biotech Giants.
The only safe foods are truly natural and organic and time tested.
