<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Cambria></FONT> </DIV>
<UL>
<LI>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.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>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.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>Recently, the U.S. Congress and president collectively passed the
nicknamed “Monsanto Protection Act” that, among other things, bans courts
from halting the sale of Monsanto’s genetically-modified seeds.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>For too long, Monsanto has been the benefactor of corporate subsidies
and political favoritism. Organic and small farmers suffer losses while
Monsanto continues to forge its monopoly over the world’s food supply,
including exclusive patenting rights over seeds and genetic
makeup.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>Monsanto's GMO seeds are harmful to the environment; for example,
scientists have indicated they have caused colony collapse among the
world's bee population.</LI></UL>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Cambria></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><B>What are solutions we advocate?</B></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Cambria></FONT> </DIV>
<UL>
<LI>Voting with your dollar by buying organic and boycotting
Monsanto-owned companies that use GMOs in their products.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>Labeling of GMOs so that consumers can make those informed decisions
easier.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>Repealing relevant provisions of the US's "Monsanto Protection
Act."</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>Calling for further scientific research on the health effects of
GMOs.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>Holding Monsanto executives and Monsanto-supporting politicians
accountable through direct communication, grassroots journalism, social
media, etc.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>Continuing to inform the public about Monsanto's secrets.</LI></UL>
<UL>
<LI>Taking to the streets to show the world and Monsanto that we won't
take these injustices quietly.</LI></UL>
