Welcome to the laboratory-rat cage, folks. We’re all being experimented on by Monsanto and the federal government.

In April, President Barack Obama signed HR 933 into law. While this appropriations bill was fairly standard, a biotech rider included in it was not.

This biotech rider-made-law has been coined the Monsanto Protection Act by those who believe in food sovereignty. Why? Simply put, the rider says the Agriculture Department must approve the growing, harvesting, and selling of GMOs (genetically modified organisms). It shields GMO producers from litigation that could be brought against them for health problems incurred by people due to consuming their genetically-modified crops.

As the world’s largest producer of GMOs, mega corporation Monsanto stands to benefit immensely from this new law.
