That Barack Obama for the interests of the industry and against the interest of the people.


Obama Puts GMO Booster in Charge of Food Safety

http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_18635.cfm

the beginning of the article:

Genetically modified foods are not safe. The only reason they're in our food supply is because government bureaucrats with ties to industry suppressed or manipulated scientific research and deprived consumers of the information they need to make informed choices about whether or not to eat genetically modified foods.
Now, the Obama Administration has put a two notorious biotech bully in charge of food safety! Former Monsanto lobbyist Michael Taylor is the senior adviser to the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner on food safety....


Obama opposes labeling of GMO food

Feds on GMO Labeling: Don't Tell, Don't Ask

http://www.theatlantic.com/food/archive/2010/04/feds-on-gmo-labeling-dont-tell-dont-ask/39452/

From this website:

Now comes a position paper from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that opposes labeling for genetically modified food. The U.S. claims that letting consumers know whether or not food contains GM/GE products is "false, misleading, or deceptive."

From the website:

In 1991-2, FDA scientists warned their superiors that GM foods could produce hard-to-detect allergens, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems. They uniformly recommended comprehensive, long-term safety studies. The FDA's political appointees in charge, however, completely ignored and even denied the concerns of their own scientists and allowed GM foods on the market without a single safety study, and no labeling.

Now the fears of the FDA scientists have been realized. Based on overwhelming evidence of harm, on May 19, 2009, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine called for the government to institute an immediate moratorium on GM foods, and in the meantime, for all doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets to everyone. They list reproductive, immune, gastrointestinal, and accelerated aging problems among the list of outcomes from animal feeding studies. In fact, GMOs may represent one of the greatest health and environmental dangers ever faced by humanity.

It is and was not only Obama but he is in charge


Bush pushes pro GMO stance:

The European Union (EU) policy on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) came under attack once again from US President George W Bush. Speaking at the Biotechnology Industry Organisation (BIO) conference in Washington DC, on 23 June, Bush said: 'Acting on unfounded, unscientific fears, many European governments have blocked the import of all new biotech crops.'

Bush then suggested the EU policy was not helping combat famine in Africa: 'Because of these artificial obstacles, many African nations avoid investing in biotechnology, worried that their products will be shut out of important European markets.'

He then urged European governments to end their …
