Rand Paul is a Monsanto Sellout, pushing GMO's, almost everybody is for sale I guess

Rand Paul begins shilling for Monsanto


In a strange twist, Rand Paul has recently allied with Monsanto and has joined the ranks of academic shill Kevin Folta after coming out against GMO labeling, stating that the labeling requirements would push up the price of food for consumers — particularly poor ones.

To make matters worse, this year Rep. Mike Pompeo (from Kansas) proposed a bill that would block states' citizens from democratically mandating GMO labeling. (Pompeo is also the single largest recipient of campaign funds from the Koch Brothers.) This bill, also known as the DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know) Act, would effectively block Vermont and other states from being able to vote on or enforce GMO labeling, making it impossible for them to protect their consumers. Pompeo's bill would instead set up a "voluntary labeling program" that companies could either opt in or opt out of; however, with Big Food's near monopoly, this approach amounts to little more than wishful thinking.

Too, taking away states' rights constitutes the worst type of government overreach. With that in mind, it seems odd that a self-proclaimed libertarian like Rand Paul would say that "he has not yet decided how he will vote on the Pompeo bill," as reported by Agri-Pulse.com.
