We’re in the best of hands….2 & 3…
….two more articles from our old friend Dr. Joseph Mercola (well, I don’t know him but he’s never complained about all the stuff I steal from him so he must be a friend). Starting again: to follow up two current threads: can we trust Big Government and the people who supply our food and can we work with Europe to help protect us.
First, when it comes to Europe, guess who’s gotten there before us? Oh, you must have been paying attention. There’s now an international do-gooder association that is going to protect us. Hard to find just who’s behind this group but Dr. Mercola did the digging and they include (surprise!) Monsanto. Six of the seats on the board belong to Monsanto and DuPont.

Europe is, however, ahead of us in dealing with some of the worst practices of our Big Ag. Dr. Mercola details 9 areas our own “protectors” are blase about that won’t fly on this side of the ocean.
