Hundreds of thousands of people hounding pro-GMO companies on their Facebook pages

November 27, 2012 - SUSTAINABLE BUSINES:

30 states are pursuing measures to require GMO labels. "Over the past decade, every link in the organic food chain, from purchasing to processing to distribution to retail, has been dominated by a small number of huge corporations."

Hundreds of thousands of people are hounding these companies on their Facebook pages, calling their customer service phone numbers, and boycotting their products. There's even a chance that it GMO Labeling could be passed into law without requiring a referendum.

The defeat of California Prop 37, which would have required labels on food products that contain GMOs, hasn't discouraged labeling advocates. If anything, it has emboldened them and added momentum to the movement, which is becoming a national campaign - organizers in 30 states are now working on initiatives to require GMO labels.

The Tragic Mistake That Now Threatens 1 Out of Every 3 Bites You Eat

The Tragic Mistake That Now Threatens 1 Out of Every 3 Bites You Eat | YOUR FOOD, YOUR HEALTH: Latest on BiotechFood, GMOs, Pesticides, Chemicals, CAFOs, Industrial Food | Scoop.it

The documentary film "Vanishing of the Bees" unveils the phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and the real causes of bee death all over the U.S."

The danger of accumulated pesticides in the environment and the lack of USA federal agency oversight in favor of manufacturers's studies without independent review is a major cause for concern.  90% of food we eat is treated with pesticides, over a billion pounds of these toxic chemicals are used annually on the huge agricultural western monocrop farms.

Before releasing these highly toxic chemicals into our environment, a responsible nation would ensure that independent interdisciplinary studies are carried out to determine affects on both our ecosystems AND human health.
