DESCRIPTION:RALLY FOR THE RIGHT TO KNOW!\n\nDEMAND GMO LABELING!!!\n\nThere is more 
 than a casual association between genetically modified foods & adverse 
 health effects. There is causation as defined by Hill's Criteria in the 
 areas of strength of association, consistency, specificity, biological 
 gradient, and biological plausibility. The strength of association and 
 consistency between GM foods and disease is confirmed in several animal 
 studies. http://www.aaemonline.org/gmopost.html\n\nThe American Academy of 
 Environmental Medicine (AAEM) recently stated that "Several animal studies 
 indicate serious health risks associated with genetically modified food," 
 including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin 
 regulation, & changes in major organs & the gastrointestinal system. The 
 AAEM advises consumers to avoid GM foods, but since the USDA & Monsanto 
 co-own the patent for "terminator" seeds, you can bet no action will be 
 taken.  \n\n80% of what Americans eat is genetically modified.  
 	\n\n"Monsanto should not have to vouch for the safety of biotech food. Our 
 interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is 
 the FDA's job." -Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of corporate 
 communications, quoted in the New York Times, October 25, 1998\n\nMany have 
 written about the revolving door leadership policy between federal food 
 agencies & Monsanto, but few seem to grasp the grave dangers such a 
 good-ol'-boy network entails. The fact is, Monsanto has not produced a 
 single “food” product that independent, non-corporate sponsored studies 
 have found to be safe for prolonged human consumption.  YOUR KIDS ARE LAB 
 RATS\n\nGUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPATION\n1. We are required to stay in motion. 
 All sidewalks, walkways, and roadways must remain unobstructed to allow for 
 the reasonable use of these areas by pedestrians, vehicles and other 
 visitors. We also can not leave anything sitting on the ground.\n\n2. 
 Please do not lean, sit or look bored.\n\n3. Interact with the public and 
 hand out flyers. Don't yell or argue with those who disagree with you. We 
 don't want potential allies or the media viewing or filming anything but... 
 \n\nMission: Spread awareness of genetically modified foods and Monsanto's 
 increasing monopoly of our foods.\n\nPublic Transit is 
 recommended\n	\nhttp://www.facebook.com/rallyfortheright...\n\nLOCATION:
