As if agri-business doesn't have enough power lobbying the U.S. government... now it has a place in the Environmental Protection Agency. Hold on to your plates, G.M.O. foods are coming to a dinner table near you.
Oh, yes, blast master Bush strikes again. Apparently it wasn’t enough that he appointed Christine Todd Whitman as Administrator of the so called Environmental protection agency. She herself has a frightening environmental record, but now she has a partner from the Industrial Agriculture Complex. Eeeek! Watch out world, little boy Bush is driving.
