Everyone is invited to visit us and see what we are about. Your input is important. Your ideas are important. YOU are important.

March Against Monsanto Annapolis Maryland

Submitted by DonnaSimone on Tue, 04/09/2013 - 8:34am

On May 25, activists around the world will unite to March Against Monsanto.

Why do we march??

Research studies have shown that Monsanto’s genetically-modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects.

In the United States, the FDA, the agency tasked with ensuring food safety for the population, is steered by ex-Monsanto executives, and we feel that’s a questionable conflict of interests and explains the lack of government-lead research on the long-term effects of GMO products.
