Are Monsanto's days numbered? 50+ organizations urging international GMO ban

Can't wait till they shut them down for good. They should pay for all the people they killed.

great news for those that love the Earth

monsatan will not live out the decade i have said thsi before :D

It is comforting to see this kind of activity taking hold.

Jan, you have been a champion for these causes. I appreciate you finding and sharing this information. From here, a standing ovation for you and all involved in taking this stand.

The USDA is an investment partner with Monsanto.Monsanto will not go easily with the tentacles it has in government.The State ag extension network,and State ag colleges are joined at the hip to Monsanto, DuPont,Aventis,and the other chemical gm seed corporations.The giants won't go down easily,but like the Occupy Wall St,movement,the facts about the gm,and ag chemical frauds exposed,their end is coming.

The people have the power!

It's not only their pesticides or GMO seeds that they use to poison people with ...check out the Carpet industry that has been making many sick...Monsanto has their filthy paws in this too! This is one of the most dangerous corporations ever known...You need to research these criminals and arm yourself with all the information you can get about what they are into because if Monsanto has anything to do with a product you can bet 100% it's nasty and will make you sick.

It was only a matter of getting the word out .... and time .

Um fattening a small yet substantial amount of chickens on the healthiest food I can afford.... I garden year round enough to ease the burden of rising food prices and the worrying about buying "fraken-foods"...

Started with small steps, and not even much money into it. Many people can do a whole lot to put an end to dependency on corporations like Monsanto....

Farmers markets are coming back and growing in popularity all over the country, and most of the people involved can give some awesome tips and pointers....

I'm a big fan of raised beds myself, about 3 foot wide, a foot tall, and as long as you prefer.... Walkways between them, and the bottom set up to either drain or retain water. In allot of areas you can grow at least a few things even in the colder months. Cover it with clear plastic half the day to retain water in times of drought, or protect plants in freezing weather.... All kinds of neat things you can do....

Forget the organizations, if you can get food independent yourself, good therapy...

Here is the link to read the Mercola's site article today - The Label Even Monsanto Considers a 'Skull and Crossbones'...

Another quote taken from this article: "If California voters pass this ballot initiative in 2012, it will likely be the beginning of the end for Monsanto and genetically engineered food in the U.S. According to Zuri Starr, a Southern California field organizer for the Organic Consumers Association: " My dream come true!!!!!

This article sounds good to me, music to my ears, (both my own and the ears of corn I used to eat) :) Wouldn't it be nice to see Monsanto melt away, just like the wicked witch of the west? She's m-e-l-t-i-n-g........

Found this quote today on Dr Mercola's website (I was actually looking for something else, but this was too good to pass up)

"If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it." - Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994

I don't have the exact newspaper source, as I said, it comes off of a good reputable source, so I am pretty sure it is a good quotation. I do know one thing, it is the truth. :)

One can only hope....that and write one's representatives.

Global resistance to GMOs is growing as more become aware of the scam it is. I am hopeful we will see something good come of this initiative. Calling for labelling is important and necessary, but GMOs really do need to be banned globally. Their "substantial equivalence" is anything but substantial or equivalent. I will definitely be following this!
