They want control over all seeds, animals, water, and> land.> > > Our farmers are good stewards. That is who is threatened by Rosa> DeLauro's bill (and because of that, we all are). At a time in this> country when wise stewardship and the production of anything real -> especially good food - is what is most needed, it is our best stewards> whom Rosa DeLauro threatens, under the cruelly false name of "food> safety."> > And now Monsanto wants its own employee, Michael Taylor back in> government, this time to act with massive police power as a "food> safety tsar" from inside the White House. This is the man who forced> genetically engineered rBGH on us (unlabeled, and without warning)> when the Clintons placed him over "food safety" in the 90s. HR 875> would give him immense power over what is done on every single farm in> the country and massive police state power to wield over farmers and> punishments to break them at will.> > The following quotes show Monsanto and its biotech ilk are not> "stewards" at all. Their inhuman focus on profit has led to inhuman,> insane, sickening products that require intense corruption of> democracy and science institutes and media, to foist them on country> after country which don't want them.> > It is our farmers who stand between us and this outrage which> masquerades as science, as food, as normal business, as government.> And it is our farmers who need not only protecting but actual freeing> from government intrusion, control and harm.> > Vegetarians and vegans do not identify with farmers who raise animals> but what is at stake here is critical for all of us.
