"Hillary Clinton is Just Plain Wrong on GMOs"

This article from the Organic Consumers Association is very informative about GMO produce:

https://www.organicconsumers.org/news/hillary-clinton-just-plain-wrong-gmos

Monsanto is planning to move their headquarters from Missouri to Switzerland. With the passage of TPP, Monsanto will be able to sue the United States for harming their present or future profits by regulating or requiring food labeling of GMOs.

This is a huge issue, and I will be grateful when Clinton finally weighs in on food labeling and TPP.

And then she has to factor in Big Agriculture campaign contributions,"donations" to the Clinton Family Foundation and the quids she's promised for those pro quos. It's very complicated!

We're getting to a place where relying on social issues while avoiding the specifics that have created the largest income gap in modern history is not going to cut it. Hoping the Bernie exposes her in the primaries.

Monsanto is not moving their HQ to Switzerland.

GMOs = science over fear.

Bravo, Ms Clinton!

and only "promise" to label GMOs since it was something he was going to do, but never got around to doing it.
