Right to Know

I would feel like a hypocrite if I never brought up and talked about the the politics that surround the food we eat.  There is an increasing number of people here in the United States that know about multinational corporations like Monsanto.  These companies have a huge strangle hold on our markets.  They make huge profits by controlling the herbicide, pesticide, and seed markets.  Last year alone Monsanto made profits of 680 million dollars which gives them the upper hand in any situation against smaller family owned and operated farms.  Monsanto spent 6.37 million dollars on lobbying in Washington last year,  influencing the regulations to there best interest.
Organic farmers have to pay the government and other organizations to prove that there Organic which many can't truly afford and yet Monsanto can get away with spraying our food with chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects and cause many other health problems.  They don't even have to label foods that are genetically altered or even meats that have been cloned! I think that this is absolutely outrageous!
If you know nothing about these issues you should check out web site that fight for small farmers and our right for freedom of information about our food like such as: http://www.fooddemocracynow.org/.

The lawyers and scientists (in above link) work hard to get us this information, and this is a great gateway to more information through this web site.
Here is just one of their campaigns to help us all have better food and live healthier lives:
