Remove Michael Taylor (Vice President of Monsanto) from acting as Senior Advisor to the Commissioner of the FDA.

Created by F.K. on February 28, 2012

Monsanto is the agribusiness giant involved in 90% of the genetically engineered seeds used in the U.S. market. Taylor was in charge of FDA policy when GMO foods were allowed into the U.S. food supply without any safety testing. He then became Monsanto's V.P. Monsanto has sued and criminally prosecuted private farmers for saving their own crop seeds from year to year (which is historically common farming practice). Monsanto has also sued private farmers for patent infringement when the wind and/or pollenation spread its (Monsanto's) seeds to the perimeters of neighboring farms. When a group of certified organic farmers attempted to block Monsanto from similar lawsuits involving accidental wind and pollenation, the N.Y. Federal Court Judge judge dismissed the case on Feb. 27, 2012.
