What Is Obama Doing to Us?

When Obama became president, you might remember that the First Lady started planting an organic garden on the White house lawn. Obama’s advisors ran out to tell her that she couldn’t have an organic garden. And why was that? Because some of her husband’s staunchest supporters (like Monsanto) produce the garden poisons and pesticides that kill insects, good (butterflies and pollinators) and bad. Michelle Obama could only have a garden dripping with agri-chemicals.

Obama is not your friend. He immediately appointed as head of the Department of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, a proponent of industrial farms, feed lot factory farming, GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) and not having it listed on the labels of foods that are GMO, and agricultural chemicals used on every crop. He is anti-organic and anti-natural.

And who was his official food safety czar? Michael R. Taylor, who was, at the time, Monsanto’s Vice President and chief lobbyist. He was the person most responsible for getting GMOs approved without adequate testing, then promoted them vigorously.

Recently Dr. Oz drew fire to himself for saying that GMO foods should be labelled as GMO. People, especially politically oriented doctors, went wild and attacked him verbally and profusely for such a politically incorrect opinion. (This was during Spring 2015)

And then there is Islam A. Siddiqui, CropLife’s VP and America’s chief agricultural negotiator who is responsible for letting GMO foods and irradiated foods use the label “organic.” Our whole food system over the last six or seven years has been out of control with its policies. Bread that is 51% whole wheat can be labelled “100% whole wheat.” Juice with three ingredients on the label can be labelled as 100% fruit juice. I guess legally 100% =51%. I wonder what my math teachers would have thought about that.

Agri-chemical companies are now controlling our food policies, thanks to President Obama, and are eliminating regulations to protect people, animals and our environment.

In my opinion, if Hilary Clinton is elected our next president, it will be more of the same. I may write a blog about why I believe that in the future.

So, spread the word about what is happening to our food supply. Do some research on your own. Wonder about why the European Union destroyed acres and acres of corn from the USA when it was almost ready to harvest. (Hint: they found out it was GMO.)
