Stop GMO Apples! OCA Upsets the GMO Apple Cart

Inside, the biotech industry was handing out an award to a biotech company salivating at the thought of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approving its patented genetically engineered apple. Outside, the Organic Consumers Association's crowd

A Heartbreaking Defeat. An Urgent Opportunity.

On the evening of November 7, 2012, I sat somberly in a press conference in San Francisco, surrounded by people I'd been working side-by-side with for nearly a year. We'd just narrowly lost (48.5% to 51.5%) a hard-fought, grassroots campaign to our

Why is this campaign important to you?

I did a term paper on Genetically Modified Foods and the stuff I learned in my reseach was so frightening. The power that Monsanto holds over the well being of our lives is incredible. It has seeped into and is controling so many variables in our world/nation that most people picking an item off the grocery store shelf have no idea the choices have already been made for them. And we call ourselves a democracy!

Yes! Governments run our countries and corporations run our governments. The time for voting at polling stations is long gone. It is time to vote with our purchasing habits. Take the time to understand which companies Monsanto own and boycott them from your shopping baskets.
Things are topsy turvy but they will only be put right but enough of us waking up and acting. And time is running out.

Get rid of congress as it is and start over with the kind of people who can and will help. Just say enough is enough and push restart. We in Canada will have to do the same other wise get used to it I guess. We need a BIG Global push on this and say NO.

for obvious reasons and Bono is 2 faced.

I'll also be boycotting jerks! All the best...

perche' mi voglio bene e voglio bene al mondo. C'e' anche da dire che non abbiamo bisogno di produrre piu' cibo visto che ne sprechiamo tantissimissimo, c'e' bisogno di distribuirlo meglio e cercare di non considerarlo come un business visto che e' una necessita' per la sopravvivenza! La vita non dovrebbe essere un business!

buttano il cibo nello stesso posto dove buttano la loro merda.. tipo FUTURAMA.. peggio di un pessimo film futurista degli anni 80

monsanto don't care about people only7 profits ask aqny vietnam vetweran.

The last thing that I discovered about them is that the pesticide that is in the seeds on a genetic level has made the insects immune to pesticides (traditional and genetic). It is also making them bigger and stronger.

Angela, sorry about your friend...these foods have to effect us, and probably on a genetic level.

I have been trying to get people to listen about that for years. Most people won't even look at it. But it is insane what they have planned for us!

Monsanto es un Mounstro que esta haciendo todo por controlar la industria alimentaria, para despues controlarnos a nosotros, envenenan la tierra con semillas trasgenicas que solo sirven para ser usadas una vez, y esta cosecha a su vez, no the semilla, o es esteril, Demandan a los agricultores que aun utilizan semillas de polinizacion abierta, o como las conocemos las semillas naturales, normales, que Dios nos dio, quitandoles mas tierras y dinero con estas demandas, pues los cultimos trasgenicos contaminan tambien los cultivos, normales, organicos que haya al rededor, Como? el viento, los pajaros, las abejas (que de hecho estan muriendo por el contacto con estas semillas), que hacen su trabajo con la polinización, van a los cultimos vecinos y estos quedan contamisnados con los de Monsanto, Perdón si me equivoco en algun dato preciso, a groso modo y por lo que varios de mis amigos de Ecología de Negocios, Ruta Ahimsa, Proyecto el sembrador, Guilermo Rizo, Lalo de KDRock en Cadereyta y muchos expertos más, me han compartido e informado acerca de estos mounstros.
El año pasado por el mes de julio, los diputados y autoridades autorizaron la entrada de Monsanto a México, brindandoles MilloNes de hectareas para sus pruebas. Cuando en Francia ya hay pruebas con ratas de laboratorio alimentadas con semillas de monsanto que desarrollaron canceres y tumores enormes y mortales en todo su cuerpo y teniendo como consecuencia la muerte. Estas pruebas son importantes para lograr que expulsen a monsanto de la Unión europea. Los dueños de este mounstro, son entre algunos, los Roquefeller, de las familias mas pudientes, poderosas y peligrosas de los Estados Unidos de Norteamerica, ellos crearon el sistema educativo, sistema que pretende adiestrarnos a ser obreros calificados, solo empleados para seguir enriqueciendose con esta forma u organización laboral. Es serio, los alimentos que estamos consumiendo pueden ya ser trasgenicos, toxicos, contaminados!
stoy a sus órdenes para cualquier retroalimentacion y comentario.
