2007
Candidate Obama
When I'm Presdident I will "let folks know when their food is genetically modified, because Americans have a right to know what they're buying."
2007 Campaign promise:
2012
President Obama
"Genetically modified crops hold out the promise of benefits like increased production and reduced reliance on pesticides. At the same time, some Americans want more information to help them choose their food. President Obama understands these concerns and is considering additional steps in this area."
2012 Obama Campaign
DAMMMMMM!!!! If GMO crops are SO BENEFICIAL why not ADVERTISE THEM??? haha! It's a basic consumer right to "KNOW WHAT WE GETTIN"
Don't believe the hype! Obama is not about change, he is about being a good politician and maintaining the status quo.
So sad that he wasnt able to do what he promised. I know it may not be easy. I hope he isnt caving in on this
"they" don't want gmo food labeled because the fda is loaded with former monsanto (et al) execs and friendlies.
I enjoy reading articles and then expressing my view points; however, I must disagree with the negative verbage toward Obama and his campaign issues… It is in my humble opinion that many of you are forgetting or you choose to ignore that behind every strong man there is a great woman. A woman by the name of Michell Obama who's doing what she can to work with children and parents to incorporate a more healty way of living and eating through her healty living campaign http://www.letsmove.gov/ . I believe that Obama's team consist of the most knowledgeable and experienced individuals in their field and Mrs. Obama is no different. I ask that before we disect this president we look at and understand fully the issues and what he's doing to help either directly or indirectly. Thank you.
How bout, NO Monsanto, NO GMO, eat only organic foods and get the truth on labels..Regardless of what, we still need to detox what has happened to us so far, and thats where Ahki comes in, imo. Gotta flush the bad stuff or whats the point, right? I find it hella annoying when I read food labels and it has stuff complex to even pronounce and high fructose corn syrups, avoid at all costs! Dont by BS GMO food..Get the good stuff! It would be nice IF there was a website resource that tracked every vendor and its labeling, not only that, what the dangers "every ingredient" has, if its GMO and if its ever been tested. I bet that would make people way more conscious in whats in the food. Ahki, what do you think?
I hope you saw this film online. It was free. Now it is $2.99. Worth it. I bought the DVD. The 2nd disc contains all kinds of stuff you can broadcast on TV for free, with no questions or further permission needed. They give you permission when you buy the DVD. It is "The Institute for Responsible Technology" movie called "GENETIC ROULETTE" — here is the URL – http://geneticroulettemovie.com/
