The US government has set up a propaganda web site to promote GM foods.

In response, activists gave the following quotes to Reuters:

"The government is more interested in promoting the interests of major corporations, rather than the interests of family farmers and general citizens," said Michael Hanson, a spokesman for Consumers Union.

"The State Department's promotion of an unpopular technology shows that these companies are having to turn to the Bush administration ... to basically force these crops on people," said Ronnie Cummins, national director of the Organic Consumers Organization. He noted the U.S. government provides no funding to promote organic foods abroad.
