OCA: Vilsack Not "Change We Can Believe In"
Organic Consumers Association ^ | 12/17/08 | Ronnie Cummins

WASHINGTON, DC – Today's announcement that former Iowa Governor, Tom Vilsack, has been selected as the new Secretary of Agriculture sent a chill through the sustainable food and farming community who have been lobbying for a champion in the new administration.

"Vilsack's nomination sends the message that dangerous, untested, unlabeled genetically engineered crops will be the norm in the Obama Administration," said Ronnie Cummins, Executive Director of Organic Consumers Association. "Our nation's future depends on crafting a forward-thinking strategy to promote organic and sustainable food and farming, and address the related crises of climate change, diminishing energy supplies, deteriorating public health, and economic depression.”

Stay away from organic foods especially free range chickens. Vegetables and fruits develop internal toxins in reaction to attached by insects, fungus, or disease just like animals do. Problem is that those toxins are highly carcinogenic. Free range chickens run around with diseased animals, birds etc., bad. Chickens raised in controlled conditions are kept away from diseased chickens and other birds, tested per strict sampling methods, same with eggs.

Radiated food is the way to go..... but again people are misinformed.

Is it Obama’s strategy to bring every potential 2012 Democratic presidential candidate (except for John Edwards, who has enough of his own problems) into his administration?
