Consumer advocates are criticizing two recent choices for top food and agricultural positions. The Organic Consumers Association is calling for the resignation of Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto lobbyist who’s been appointed senior food safety adviser to the Food and Drug Administration commissioner. The group says Taylor has pushed to weaken testing and labeling for genetically modified foods. It’s also opposing President Obama’s apparent choice for Under Secretary of Agriculture for Food Safety, Dennis Wolff, who’s also been accused of trying to reduce the labeling of GMOs.
