When I was growing up, my mother believed the food she fed her family was safe for us to consume. In fact, the 1950's was just the beginning of the corporate takeover of agriculture and food production in the United States. Over the next thirty years it would culminate in Big Ag, Big Chem, and Big Food all having their hey dey producing corporate profits at the expense of American's health.
In a properly functioning democracy, the U.S. government - as part of its mandate to protect the common good - would regulate corporate behavior to insure profits were never placed before the safety, health and well-being of people and planet. Yeah, well….that would be nice. Beginning in the 1980's, our government began to promote corporate interests too often at the expense of our well-being. In area after area, corporate profits became America's bottom line.
More and more Americans realize this now. We need a world in which the safety, health and well-being of our children takes precedence over an economic trickle-down theory of economics. This is a fundamental way in which we've gone astray, and one of the ways in which in time we will self-correct.
My guest today is Bill Freese, science director at Center for Food Safety (CFS), a non-profit organization that supports sustainable agriculture and opposes harmful food production technologies.
Take care. Stay informed. We're going to create a more beautiful world.
