Sorry, Monsanto - NaturalNews.com

Sorry, Monsanto

 (NaturalNews) A few weeks ago, I spoke by phone with Cathleen Enright,
executive vice president of the Biotech Industry Organization (BIO).[1] (Long story). (Story by Katherine Paul, republished from CounterPunch.org.)

During
the course of our conversation, when we touched on the subject of the
science behind the debate over whether or not GMOs are "safe" (me
arguing that there's no scientific consensus http://www.enveurope.com/content/pdf/s12302-014-0034-1.pdf on safety) Enright said, "Then you must not believe in climate change, either."

I
glossed over that accusation, though it struck me as odd. And random.
Until less than a week later, on March 9 (2015), an article appeared in
the Guardian[2] under this headline: "The anti-GM lobby appears to be taking a page out of the Climategate playbook."

That's
when I realized what I should have known. Enright's comment wasn't
random at all. It's just a new twist on an old talking point--from an
industry on the verge of crumbling under the weight of an avalanche of
new credible, scientific evidence exposing not only the dangers of GMO
crops and the toxic chemicals used to grow them, but the extent to which
both Monsanto and U.S. government agencies like the EPA, FDA and USDA
have covered up those dangers. (Side note: Turns out the authors of the
Guardian piece all have ties to, surprise, the biotech industry[3]).

Here
are just a few examples of the latest reports, articles and books
exposing the dangers of GMOs, Big Ag's toxic chemicals and evidence of a
decades-long cover-up to keep consumers in the dark.
