Kucinich Calls Out Monsanto: Americans Demand GMO Labeling

"In 1992 the Food and Drug Administration decided that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are the functional equivalent of conventional foods. They arrived at this decision without testing GMOs for allergenicity, toxicity, anti-biotic resistance and functional characteristics. As a result hundreds of millions of acres of GMO crops were planted in America without the knowledge or consent of the American people: no safety testing and no long term health studies.

"The FDA has received over a million comments from citizens demanding labeling of GMOs. Ninety percent of Americans agree. So, why no labeling? I'll give you one reason: The influence and the corruption of the political process by Monsanto. Monsanto has been a prime mover in GMO technology, a multi-million dollar GMO lobby here and a major political contributor.

"There is a chance that Monsanto's grip will be broken in California where a GMO labeling initiative is on the ballot. And here in Congress, my legislation HR 3553 will provide for a national labeling law. Americans have a right to know if their food is genetically engineered. It's time for labeling and for people to know how their food is being produced."

"It was absolutely a plane, and I'll tell you why," [of Washington, D.C.] "I saw the marks of the plane wing on the face of the building. I picked up parts of the plane with the airline markings on them. I held in my hand the tail section of the plane, and I found the black box. I held parts of uniforms from crew members in my hands, including body parts."

even if you aren't going to read everything I typed, others will. I didn't flag this comment for spam anyways, someone else did. I'm not going to unspam anyways because it's a shame you resort to attacks on another. This why nature is dangerous to you, you can't analyze it properly b/c you're mind's too dogged and staunch. I apologize then for even having an intelligent discussion with you on the merits of what I typed. -hugs- I hope all will be well for you.

I never read the Bible personally and I'm a deist, not a theist. I'm not indoctrinated in any form of religion. I just want to understand how nature works, I analyze it and I care.
