The third reporting of Monsanto news, GMO news, and news you need to know to stay ahead of the companies and governments out to take your food sovereignty away. In this report I break down the news according to: Activism: Pakistan, India, Mexico, Canada, Ireland, Germany Legal: GM sugarbeets; standing up to Tom Vilsack on GMOs Political: Obama USDA appointment; biotech friends Special Comment: Bill Gates; Monsanto 'carbon credits'; food security Also, all items discussed will be linked here along with the video by Jeffrey Smith of the Institute of Responsible Technology: Everything you HAVE TO KNOW About Dangerous Genetically Modified Foods. If you haven't watched this video yet you cannot afford not to. There is good news amongst the status quo in regards to farmers standing up around the world and also some countries taking steps to label GMOs and ban them. Unfortunately, the U.S. is not one of those countries as our government continues to support the status quo for all of their talk about change. On the whole however, we are seeing more vocal opposition and with Monsanto's stock going down this past quarter that is a hopeful sign that people are waking up to the deception that is GMO, the poisons sprayed on them, and their effect on our health and environment.
