Hillary Clinton is a former big money attorney with an incredible ability to put an effective “PR spin” on her declarations. Considering that she’s pro-GMO and her ties to Monsanto run deep, it’s well worth noting what she said at an event in 2014 about selling GMOs to unsuspecting farmers.
Even though Clinton is no longer in the political spotlight, her words are important in the year 2024 because of the rise of unlabeled genetically modified foods like GMO bananas and GMO salmon. The GMO bananas, along with other new genetically modified crops like ‘non-browning GMO apples,’ have had their DNA altered in a laboratory to provide so-called ‘benefits.’
What consumers don’t realize is that they aren’t tested for long-term safety and aren’t labeled as genetically modified organisms. Keep that in mind as you read this article and watch the video toward the bottom of the page, and thank you for reading.

Thanks to the tireless work of millions of activists, journalists and movements like the worldwide March Against Monsanto, the term “GMO” has become a word imbued with all sorts of negative connotations, one synonymous with the deception, health, and environmental risks of this dangerously under-tested technology.
But Monsanto and the Biotech industry in general are working to undo their years of hard work by “rebranding” GMOs, genetically modified food, and other industry terms that have become the target of activists everywhere.
In order to downplay the myriad health risks and GMOs’ tendency to contaminate natural and organic crops among other problems, the Biotech industry is now focusing on the alleged “benefits” of their lab creations and seeking to change the narrative, such as alleged vitamin content increases, crop traits and more.

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who spoke in glowingly positive terms at a GMO industry convention (she gave the keynote address at the 2014 BIO Convention in San Diego) laid out the next phase of their strategy in this video footage from the event at the 40-second mark below.
It’s something all activists should be aware of as more unlabeled, gene edited GMOs with ‘special traits’ like the aforementioned non-browning GMO apples are continuously brought to market.
“How do you create a different vocabulary (to talk about GMOs)…?” Clinton asks in the video below.
That’s the most intriguing part of her talk, which is shown below:
