USDA betrays American people, approves Monsanto's new GMOs

The latest approval for a Monsanto-manufactured GMO is "simply the latest example of USDA's allegiance to the biotechnology industry and dependence upon chemical solutions," said Food & Water Watch Executive Director Wenonah Hauter, in a statement.
