Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty
Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826
Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26

He spent thirty years as a Canadian government scientist telling the public that GMO crops were safe. He was good at it. He believed it. Then Dr. Thierry Vrain retired, got off the government payroll, and for the first time in his career read the actual science behind GMOs. What he found demolished everything he had spent three decades defending. But here's the part that never makes the headlines: Canada has been quietly allowing GMO ingredients into the food supply for years with no mandatory labeling, no consumer disclosure, and no accountability. When a product says Product of Canada, you have no legal right to know what's really in it. And it gets worse. When that GMO ingredient gets ultraprocessed, the modified DNA becomes completely undetectable. No detectable DNA means no label required under American law either. The GMO doesn't just disappear into your food. It disappears into the ultraprocessed ingredient that's already hiding from you. A 9th Circuit ruling from January 2026 begins to close that loophole, but it could be years before it shows up on a single label in your grocery store. From the Food Travel USA archives of May 2013, Elizabeth Dougherty sits down with Dr. Vrain in a conversation that was ahead of its time and is even more relevant today. This is what sixteen years of telling you so actually looks like.

FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS

About the Show

Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
