Why doesn't Michelle Obama talk about how "mutant foods" cause health problems?
I appreciate her efforts to counteract a major health problem in our society. But why isn't she raising the issue of how sugar and corn-industry lobbying by megacorps like Monsanto has led to an epidemic of sugar/corn-syrup addiction? Why isn't she talking about antibiotics being fed to cows or Monsanto pesticides being sprayed over crops? Why didn't she pressure her husband to veto the Monsanto Protection Act?
Or has she and I may have missed it because it wasn't on NBC or CNN?
