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 a sustainable.
future and good health!

I believe that GMO's and its chemicals cause cancer, autism, MS and a slew of other diseases.

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

I find it absolutely despicable that Monsanto is trying to hide there synthetic foods, despite all the science that shows the tragic consequences of cross pollination. They are literally taking the blueprint to life itself and making it an intellectual property. I've seen the complicity of this effort with the conservative governments around the world. This is an effort to control the worlds food supply. If they are able to do this in California then the rest of north America will follow....

This is an effort to control the worlds food supply. If they are able to do this in California then the rest of north America will follow. Already, most of the seeds for corn, soy and sugar beets have been cross pollinated. It is time to dig in and stop this insidious process of Fascist take over. He who control the food supply controls the world.

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!

Amigos cercanos canadienses hoy tienen enfermedades horribles generadas por alergias causadas por trigo trasgenico. Ellos perteneces a una generacion que nacio en los ochentas y el trigo canadiense era trasgenico. Hoy en dia ademas de que no pueden comer nada que tenga derivados del trigo, tienen enfermedades en el pancreas y otros organos.

Organic food is the best food for our body. The way our ancestors been taking this in the old time. Actually this is all 'cause of lack of awareness & because of some wrong advance technology. This must improve. say no to junck food to save the coming generations

for obvious reasons and Bono is 2 faced.

Solo se esta terminando con lo que nos queda de mundo y naturaleza, infectandolo con quien sabe cuantas cosas y los hermosos animalitos mueren contaminados y envenenados.
