Is it True? department

Is it true that a man named Michael R. Taylor, who is Deputy Commissioner for foods at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was once vice president for public policy for the Monsanto Company?
He is the first individual to hold the position, which was created along with a new Office of Foods in August 2009. But shouldn't being associated with Monsanto and considered a lobbyist automatically disqualify him from an important and influential post in food for American citizens? One sort of expected more of President Obama's administration.

It has been said that Mr. Taylor has written the rules regarding the inclusion of Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) into the human food chain, and that they favor the Monsanto company products. Not to say Mr Taylor is up to anything bad, but if you're going to flock with a murder of crows you must expect suspicions.

The debate is just starting regarding GMOs and California is about to have a vote on a label notice regarding their inclusion in foodstuffs for public consumption. The public seems to be clamoring for information and it is said many companies will remove GMOs from their product rather than have to print the information on labels, so all is not black cloud, but people need to take interest and be aware!
Already there is research showing that injecting cows with Bovine Growth Hormone has dangerous effects on humans consuming that milk. Canada and Europe have banned the product.

It is all about our children, isn't it?
But the question remains: How does a former executive with a company such as Monsanto even have consideration for a position with the Food and Drug Administration?
The worried public are beginning to crow about things like that.
