March Against Monsanto - Updates

[donnay]

I actually applied for a job at Monsanto today :/

As a tastes tester?

Legal department, actually. But I have no problem with their products to be honest.

This is my friend Tracy and her son and some of our homeschool group and RP groups.

There wasn't a march in my area and I wasn't able to organize one myself, so I spent the day putting heirloom veggies in the ground.

Cool...you should try some Round Up in your smoothie

I already posted a good video about GMO's.

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...-Death-Unveiling-The-Lies-of-GMO-s-Full-Movie






The world's leading Scientists, Physicians, Attorneys, Politicians and Environmental Activists expose the corruption and dangers surrounding the widespread use of Genetically Modified Organisms in the new feature length documentary, "Seeds of Death: Unveiling the Lies of GMOs".


Take the time to watch it, please.

To thumb-nail it; we are being slowly poisoned. Unless you become aware of these poisons the more these poisons will be crammed down our throats!

Why would I put a herbicide in my smoothie?

Glyphosate has a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxicity Class of III (on a I to IV scale, where IV is least dangerous) for oral and inhalation exposure.

The EPA considers glyphosate to be noncarcinogenic and relatively low in toxicity. The EPA considered a "worst case" dietary risk model of an individual eating a lifetime of food derived entirely from glyphosate-sprayed fields with residues at their maximum levels. This model indicated that no adverse health effects would be expected under such conditions.

You can be honest all you want, it doesn't mean that you aren't being poisoned slowly.

Might as well...they want to put it in our crops (I was being facetious)

Because many companies that are using Monsanto's GMO's are inadvertently putting herbicides in your food.

Want to? Glyphosate (Round Up) has been around since the early 70s and is the most used herbicide in the world. It's safe to use.

Monsanto has developed plants which are resistant to glyphosate...

LMAO. You might be really funny.

That's what they said about Agent Orange too.

You need to research it..start with watching the documentary. The govt is protecting them. A former Monsanto exec was head of the USDA. Monsanto bullies small farmers and tries to force them to use their seed stock. Too many issues to paraphrase it. As for GMOs in general, almost all the major food brands use it...everything from Kraft to Hellman's to you name it. Even Whole Foods announced they cannot guarantee that their food won't contain it. Even if you could get them to say they won't use it, how would you know without labeling? At least that puts some liability on them.

Major food brands like Kraft and Hellman can be boycotted. It's hard to take any protester seriously who doesn't practice what they preach. There doesn't appear to be anything stopping private labs from reporting which foods have GMO's, and private labs competing to provide this service would certainly be less expensive and more reliable than the FDA. Why is anyone asking for the FDA to be involved?

 

[Debbie Downer]

That's what they said about Agent Orange too.

Agent Orange was developed as a chemical weapon, not as an agricultural product. Glyphosate has been used safely for over 40 years. Please show me peer reviewed studies that show it has led to deaths or serious illness when used correctly (ie: not deliberately ingested).

Josh_LA is back...LOL

Nope, he's not.

Monsanto is a corporation doing nothing illegal.

The real target should be the bureaucracy in DC.

Kind of like Occupy targeting the big banks when they should be targeting the Federal Reserve.

Warlord is embarrassed by this spectacle.

When you chop down a tree, usually you start at the bottom.
