We have no idea what we’re eating.  I just saw a documentary called “King Korn” and the “meat” coming out of CAFOs is more like fat tissue than muscle. 

 

Corporate ag’s imperialism is the result of the conservative notion that government is evil and must be dismantled.  It’s time for the progressives to deliver the message that our government is ultimately controlled by people who are inherently good and will do good for the public welfare.  Bush has only days to go.  Culver?  Does the man have a plan?  I think no. 

 

There’s a Lobby Day at the Capitol on Jan 17th.  VOICE (campaign finance reform) is a primary issue.  Let’s give the people a chance against the corporate ag money in Iowa politics. 

 

10:30am – 3:30pm, First Floor Rotunda, Iowa Capitol.

For you acronym fans: MNCs are multi-national corporations; GM, in this context, means genetic modification (genetic engineering, gene-splicing).
