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.

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

We must say No to the criminals.....

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!

bisogna fermare chi fabbrica morte.

Por que la vida, no hay que amoldarla a los negocios. La economía de mercados no forma parte de su evolución, es un tumor maligno de nuestra cultura. La "productividad" natural, atiende aspectos muy diferentes al crecimiento del capital. Los objetivos del modelo: ¿Son los nuestros?

Saatgut ist wie die Luft und das Wasser: für alle in Freiheit the.

....yes, I say "no" to Monsanto,....ever since....

...in meinem Bekanntenkreis hat es damals geheissen "du spinnst", wenn ich meine Bedenken geäussert habe.......

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