In the worldwide movement to stop GMOs, World Food Day, on 10/16, has frequently been marked as a day of action. Following this tradition, Organic Consumers Association's Millions Against Monsanto campaign is calling for actions from each of our congressional district chapters, with the goal of turning out 2300 people at each event to make a million nationwide.
The first step...
to getting people involved is to get them to sign our Millions Against Monsanto petition. Which is on the table near the cash box. Please read it and sign it if you would like to know when you are being sold GMO foods.
You can also go online and sign it here: www.organicconsumers.org/monsanto/action.cfm

Thank you to the OCA activist who shared a recent e-mail she received from Kraft Foods which admits "We are not rejecting milk from BGH/BST supplemented herds." BGH/BST is the genetically modified Bovine Growth Hormone developed by Monsanto and now marketed by Eli Lilly. It was the first genetically modified organism to become part of the food supply. It is well-known by federal regulators that GMO bovine growth hormone produces milk that is less nutritious, contaminated with pus, and has elevated levels of IGF-1. Elevated levels of IGF-1 are correlated with increased rates of cancer.
Let Kraft & Kellogg's know you're joining a boycott of their brands because you want to avoid GMOs!
Enjoy! Marnie
