His past is still there. And like others have said his ruling concerned the meat industry. I will change my mind about Mr. Taylor when he comes out against GMO terminator seeds. Or when he comes and says GMO needs much more testing. Or when Mr. Taylor comes out and explains how GMO pollen and seeds are kept from other fields.

I'm still stunned, I still don't understand how Ms. Nestle made this post in good conscience about someone who is responsible for irreparable harm of immeasurable consequences to people in this country, starting with farmers and their families who used to save their seed but now are bullied by Monsanto. I am disappointed. It’s been two weeks now since I walked away from this post shaking my head.

I don't always agree with her (like her stance on artificial sweeteners being benign), but for the most part she imparts excellent, common-sense advice. Her stance on Michael Taylor, however, concerns me tremendously. I am very disappointed in her enthusiastic support of him. Perhaps if she had taken a more cautious approach with her support, and not such outright enthusiasm - this makes me quite suspicious - she's always seemed to have such a level head, but this seems to break with her common-sense advice. Though I will continue to recommend her books (What to Eat and Food Politics), I will think twice about her advice from here on out.
