Jeffrey Smith: You’re Appointing Who? Please Obama, Say It’s Not So! (GM Food)
Get your Monsanto out of my Government…
This article explains that Obama is appointing Monsanto’s Dennis Wolff as Food Safety Czar.
I thought Obama said he was going to require labels on all genetically modified foods once he won the presidency. I have seen nothing that leads me to believe he is going to start requiring GM food labels any time soon. Unlike the UK…
The article goes on to explain how Dennis Wolff “… unilaterally declared that labeling products rbGH-free was illegal, and that all such labels must be removed from shelves statewide. This would, of course, eliminate the label from all national brands, as they couldn’t afford to create separate packaging for just one state.”
Smith also provides a brief history of Monsanto’s GMO Food assault against the spaceship Earth…
I wonder how Dennis Wolff was compensated by Monsanto to declare the labeling of rBGH-free milk illegal. Wasn’t Obama supposed to make a website to track this kind of stuff too?

The curse of knowledge: Mistaking your beliefs for those of others : Cognitive Daily
“Here’s a task that four-year-olds can do but three-year-olds have some trouble with. Imagine Sally in the picture below is playing with a ball. She puts the ball in the box and goes to the kitchen to get a drink. While she’s gone, Bill takes the ball out of the box and puts it in the bucket. When Sally returns, where does she look for the ball?
Most three-year-olds will say Sally would look in the bucket, apparently failing to realize that Sally doesn’t know anything about what Bill did while she was gone. Some researchers have explained this phenomenon by speculating that young children haven’t yet formed a theory of mind; they don’t understand that other people can have thoughts independent of their own.
But Susan Birch and Paul Bloom believe they have found a scenario where adults make a similar error…
