Johnnie S.
started this petition to
President Obama
Back in 2010, President Obama hired former Monsanto V.P. Michael "Monsanto" Taylor as the FDA's new czar. This is a MAJOR conflict of interest due to the fact that Taylor has strong ties to Monsanto, and he's had these ties for over two decades! Michael Taylor worked several times for Monsanto, and he was also employed by King & Spalding who did work for Monsanto, and the USDA used Taylor's services as well! Michael Taylor, as head of the FDA, allows Monsanto to police itself. Therefore, all safety concerns are not only NOT being addressed by either the FDA or Monsanto, but both of them state that GMOs are safe for human consumption! Nothing could be further from the truth!
