Vermont is set to make history by becoming the first state in the country to require genetically modified (GMO) food to be labeled. But Monsanto, the world’s largest GMO producer, is gearing up to sue the state.
This is an important fight, not just for Vermont, but for everyone in the country: 25 other states are considering similar labeling laws, but are waiting for someone else to take the leap for their own laws to go into effect. If Vermont wins, it might not be long until the entire country mandates GMO labeling, giving consumers the information to make their own choices.
We can’t let Vermont lose this battle. Let’s stop Monsanto before it can even get started:
Tell Monsanto: Don’t sue Vermont for its decision to label GMO foods.
Monsanto is making outlandish claims in protest, including one that a labeling requirement would bea violation to the company’s freedom of speech. It’s ready to put its corporate muscles to work to thump the state’s decision, just as it has before: It recently successfully conspired with DuPoint and Kraft Foods to grossly outspend and defeat supporters of similar laws in California and Washington.
There’s lots of discussion about what the long-term effects of GMOs might be, but one thing should be above debate: Consumers should have the right to know what they’re eating and what they’re feeding their kids.
Monsanto: We won’t let you sue Vermont.
Vermont is a sovereign state with sovereign people.
Monsanto is a corporation and corporations are not people.
The people have spoken. Monsanto has no voice as they
are just concrete and steel.
Monsanto has made it impostable to replant from seed that was planted from Monsanto seeds .So anyone that grows a crop cant reused the crop seed to grow a second crop with out being finded or suede ..One farmer was fined or 10,000 dallors for his grow a crop from seed for a second crop..All this crap and they are getting away with it due to fact they are part of the ROTHCHILDS familly ..Time tostop this ..
