you don't already?

Frito-Lay will go bankrupt

Monsanto practically owns the FDA, sorry to say.

Obama went back on his campaign promise to label GMOs.

waste my time with that? what about the last guys who took the twin trade centers down? day late, maybe?

It's an uphill fight in this country, but it's worth a try. Congress people have to eat this garbage too.

fair enough...

So do i just click the second link, fill the information out in the box and it does the rest?

They find your congress persons' phone numbers for you. You still have to make the calls. Emails aren't going to send as strong a message. It took me about ten minutes to call 2 senators and my representative and leave a message. If you press # after the message, you might be given the option to send the message as urgent.

Today, an estimated 75 to 80% of processed food in the U.S. contains GMOs (genetically modified organism). For the past 15 years, Americans have been denied the basic right to know what’s in our food, despite the fact that more than 50 countries around the world already require labeling of genetically engineered food.

Even Russia and China label GMOs, allowing their citizens the fundamental right to know what they’re eating! Why not the U.S.?

Call now!

They wont label it because people wont buy it... Watch our corrupt country in action, this should make you nauseas.

Label GMO's... Yea right, not in corrupt corporate America.

No doubt about it. They are connected through corruption. Many folks on the board of Monsanto have held high ranking positions in the FDA. It's a serious problem with no end in sight.

funny you have to move to china to see that poison on food labels.

disgraceful.

i think we all need to be vaccinated first!

Here is my letter to my Senator:
It's grandiose, sad, funny, paranoid, maximum characters allowed and I even managed to fit Jesus Christ in there, I hope this gets her attention because it is an important matter.


Dear Mrs. Boxer,
It is with the utmost sadness that I am contacting you today in regards to the labeling of GMO products. It has come to my attention that the FDA will soon take the decision on whether to force products that contains GMOs should be correctly labeled or not. Evidently I urge you to take the sensible solution which is to do all you can to force companies to correctly label the contents of their products.
You might wonder why sadness for such a trivial matter. Well Mrs. Boxer, the stakes are high. We have now come to a point where the American people has to fight for its own survival against that monstrous multinational corporation that is Monsanto. As I am sure you know, this billion-dollar company has an amazing lobbying force, and its influence in Washington would make the founding fathers weep in their graves. People like Michael Taylor, Michael Friedman and Linda Fisher who have worked for both Monsanto and governmental agencies responsible for green-lighting Monsanto's poisonous products clearly show how conflicts of interests are brushed aside in the name of big money.
GMOs should not even be legal in the first place. We don't allow genetically modified human beings running around, why should we allow genetically modified crops? Not only they managed to force us to accept such a thing, but they went as far as to make it impossible for us to know whether we eat natural things or some transgenic mutated toxin-secreting bug-killing Frankensteinish corn that has barely been test for human safety. And I assure you Mrs. Boxer that our children will have to pay the price for our foolishness and greed.
Let me ask you this question Mrs. Boxer; would you eat chicken wings if they had been taken off a mutated cow-sized animal which had its body covered with thousands of chicken wings? Would you eat some Chernobyl pork with two heads and eight feet? So why would you want to eat corn that secretes Monsanto's patented herbicide Round-Up which is known for its high toxicity?
Aside from the obvious risks of cancer and genetic degeneracy that will be caused by the ingestion of these GMO products comes things that are far more frightening. And as an academic expert on the subject, I will give you a quick picture of the major future issues that humanity will have to suffer from because of our apathetic acceptance of these deadly GMOs.
-First comes the question of natural organism ownership. Aside from the fact that Monsanto's crop can contaminate organic fields, opening the way for Monsanto to sue organic famers for patent infringement that they never intended to commit, these GMOs and their distribution and uncontrollable proliferation will lead to the annihilation of the non-patentable natural organic seeds; leaving as the only choice for famers the Monsanto owned seeds. To feed themselves, our children will have to pay a tax to Monsanto, like in the ugliest times of feudalism when the peasants had to pay a tax to the king to cultivate their own crops, so will it be at the highest point of capitalism that the citizens will have to pay a tax to the company that will own every single vegetable organism that exist on the face of the planet to survive. Clearly the shareholders of Monsanto want to position themselves as this company, as they have the vision and the capital to make this scenario a reality.
-Then comes the unstoppable natural evolution of species that will turn those harmless little bugs into chemical-resistant monsters coming right out of some nightmarish Hollywood science fiction films to give us swarms of locusts of biblical proportions that we will not be able to eradicate.
-The hold Monsanto will have on the distribution of seeds across the globe will lead to widespread famine. Just like the dirty game played by the OPEC to increase their profits on oil sales, so will Monsanto control the flow of seeds to maximize profits by creating speculative bubbles that will leave billions unable to feed themselves.
-Finally, and I will soon stop since I am running out of characters and not of arguments as I have held a presentation about agricultural development and trade conflicts, our commitment, as a nation, to a corporation like Monsanto and its products will inevitably lead to an international political and military conflict which is right now in its earliest stages and has already distanced us from many of our European allies. Needless to say the situation will only get worst and will lead our country in an isolationist situation that will be unsustainable with our current level of external investment/debt ratio which will require us to make some desperate, unpopular and unaffordable military interventions to maintain our strategic assets oversees.

Dear Mrs. Boxer I implore you in the name of Jesus Christ to consider what I have said to you, and to proudly represent the American people and your constituents, and to join us in the fight against GMOs for the future of our planet.

After the mass arrests of the elites complete, we will simply see GMO foods phased out with farmers growing "real" food the very next growing season.
