national program and they've got the big u.s.d.a. feel right when you walk in so i think that most consumers would assume that there isn't anything to medically modified in whole foods but it's not all or cannick and so if you pick up for instance a kashi cereal they have a cereal of that that is almost all soy and also is genetically modified in the united states so if it's not organic which it is that they go lean cereal then you're eating a product that's almost entirely g.m.o. . and that's something that's sold in health in stores it sold in whole foods and they hang the big u.s.d.a. feel over the doorway and that they can see her again thinking everything's fine. look at the bottom line is that we're all unknowingly consuming g.m.o. foods in many instances even when we think we're not consuming them so next time you're at a grocery store really think about the substances that are in your food wouldn't you rather know exactly what you're putting into your body after all you are what you eat. i i. last week you may remember is cov

as the largest program in the u.s.d.a. food stamp benefits cost a record seventy eight billion dollars in two thousand and eleven alone and critics worry that as the food stamp program expands it creates more opportunity for fraud as the program gets larger and more people participate there are certainly more opportunities for fraudulent behavior the spike in food stamp use is due in part to the ailing economy but the real reason for growth critics say is due to eligibility more people are eligible now than they were prior to two thousand and nine and that has accounted for a great deal of the increase in the number of people now eligible for food stamps it has not been because of the economy for now the number of. people that are on food stamps is only expected to grow but some that depend on the program have hope that better economic times are ahead i'm not a politician but i would tell you this. that i think that a greater force you know. in washington liz wall r.t. so is food stamp fraud really about big of a problem a

with this provision even if the court tells the u.s.d.a. you have introduced a genetically modified crops illegally and you must stop and introduce a proper evaluation of the environmental impact this measure tells us da that they are mandatory that they're required to go ahead and allow farmers to plant it and wave their finger so to speak at the courts so it actually dismembers the normal balances of power and checks and balances between the courts and the executive branch now from what i understand geoffrey this provision will only last as long as this bill does so just about a year or so so what harm could one year really do considering the fact that monsanto and other biotech giants win the majority of their court cases how it affects us legally and environmentally well actually they continue to lose to the center for food safety because they turn they continue to introduce these products without proper environmental impact statements and so they recently asked a policy that allowed companies like monsanto to do their own environmental
