Bush Sr.: Monsanto’s Transgenetic Engineer

Watch this footage of then Vice-President George H. W. Bush inserting Roundup Ready transgenes into crop DNA in Monsanto’s laboratory.  Then watch as Monsanto execs encourage Bush to accelerate the regulatory approval process for one of the first transgenic crops.  Bush responds by saying: “Call me, we’re in the dereg business, maybe we can help…” 

Both shocking and predictable.  This shit storm has been brewing for a while. This clip is an excerpt from the excellent documentary movie The World According to Monsanto.

  22. This is exactly what has been going on for too long! Americans are suppose to have freedom on speech and choice. However, when we say we don’t want GMO’s or we want our food labeled, they don’t take our votes into consideration. They look at the dollar signs and base their decisions on that!! I am outraged with this type of governing. I want my food to be WHOLE-NATURAL, not genetically modified. I have the right to have my food labeled. I have the right to choose what I want to eat and feed my family.
