Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 For those of you who are interested............ Here is a link to an article written by Ruskin: Obama Gives Key Agriculture Post to Monsanto Man Link: http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va & aid=18499 "Today, President Obama announced that he will recess appoint Islam A. Siddiqui to the position of Chief Agricultural Negotiator, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative" "Siddiqui is a pesticide lobbyist and Vice President for Science and Regulatory Affairs at CropLife America, an agribusiness lobbying group that represents Monsanto." "Siddiqui’s record at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and his role as a former registered lobbyist for CropLife America (whose members include Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont and Dow), has revealed him to consistently favor agribusinesses’ interests over the interests of consumers, the environment and public health (see attached fact sheet). " Follow the link to read more. It sounds to me that the fight for 'healthy choices' is going to get tougher. Am I wrong in thinking that people like this with such huge business agenda's should not be allowed in politics? For those of you not interested please delete post. Thanks.
