When I went to our local farmers market to buy fresh local produce, I came across a booth that was placed there by a branch of higher education--an Oregon University.
Our county voted to ban growing GMO crops. At the booth presented by the University, they had a brochure about canning and food safety tips. I looked it over and asked about where the information was regarding the dangers of GMO foods. After side-stepping the question several times, further questioning elicited this response. (Not exact words, but this is the gist.) "We are not against GMO foods; we don't have an opinion about them."
When questioned further, it was ascertained that because of government funding, they could not take a side.
Now, after reading this article...
https://theinternetpost.net/tag/department-of-homeland-security/page/2/
In this article a student reports being advised to write a grant to Monsanto or the Department of Homeland security to fund their education to explain why farmers markets were 'stocked with black market vegetables' and 'were a bioterrorism threat waiting to happen'.
...I wonder if it is Monsanto funding. Even if it's government funding, they were not supporting the voice of the people who banned GMO crops locally.
...and what does this imply about our Department of Homeland Security?
