Obama agency rules Pepsi's use of aborted fetal cells in soft drinks constitutes 'ordinary business operations'
(NaturalNews) The Obama Administration has given its blessing to PepsiCo
to continue utilizing the services of a company that produces flavor
chemicals for the beverage giant using aborted human fetal tissue. LifeSiteNews.com reports that the Obama Security and Exchange Commission
(SEC) has decided that PepsiCo's arrangement with San Diego, Cal.-based
Senomyx, which produces flavor enhancing chemicals for Pepsi using
human embryonic kidney tissue, simply constitutes "ordinary business
operations."

The issue began in 2011 when the non-profit group Children of God for Life
(CGL) first broke the news about Pepsi's alliance with Senomyx, which
led to massive outcry and a worldwide boycott of Pepsi products. At that
time, it was revealed that Pepsi had many other options at its disposal
to produce flavor chemicals, which is what its competitors do, but had
instead chosen to continue using aborted fetal cells -- or as Senomyx
deceptively puts it, "isolated human taste receptors" (http://www.naturalnews.com).
A
few months later, Pepsi' shareholders filed a resolution petitioning
the company to "adopt a corporate policy that recognizes human rights
and employs ethical standards which do not involve using the remains of
aborted human beings in both private and collaborative research and
development agreements." But the Obama Administration shut down this
36-page proposal, deciding instead that Pepsi's used of aborted babies
to flavor its beverage products is just business as usual, and not a
significant concern.
"We're not talking about what kind of
pencils PepsiCo wants to use -- we are talking about exploiting the
remains of an aborted child for profit," said Debi Vinnedge, Executive
Director of CGL, concerning the SEC decision. "Using human embryonic
kidney (HEK-293) to produce flavor enhancers for their beverages is a
far cry from routine operations!"
To be clear, the aborted fetal
tissue used to make Pepsi's flavor chemicals does not end up in the
final product sold to customers, according to reports -- it is used,
instead, to evaluate how actual human taste receptors respond to these
chemical flavorings. But the fact that Pepsi uses them at all when
viable, non-human alternatives are available illustrates the company's
blatant disregard for ethical and moral concerns in the matter.
Back
in January, Oklahoma Senator Ralph Shortey proposed legislation to ban
the production of aborted fetal cell-derived flavor chemicals in his
home state. If passed, S.B. 1418 would also reportedly ban the sale of
any products that contain flavor chemicals derived from human fetal
tissue, which includes Pepsi products as well as products produced by
Kraft and Nestle (http://www.naturalnews.com).
