DESCRIPTION:YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT'S IN YOUR FOOD! DEMAND GMO LABELING! RALLY 
 TOMORROW IN UNION SQUARE, SAN FRANCISCO AT 11AM. rain or shine\nRallies are 
 being held nationwide tomorrow, with the main event happening in front of 
 the White House.  Tell a friend! \nDetails: 
 http://www.organicconsumers.org/monsanto/index.cfm#rallies\n\nUNFIT FOR 
 HUMAN CONSUMPTION:\nThe American Academy of Environmental Medicine has 
 called for an immediate moratorium on genetically modified food.  Multiple 
 animal studies show significant immune dysregulation, including 
 upregulation of cytokines associated with asthma, allergy, & inflammation. 
 Animal studies also show altered structure and function of the liver, 
 including altered lipid & carbohydrate metabolism as well as cellular 
 changes that could lead to accelerated aging & possibly lead to the 
 accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Changes in the kidney, pancreas & 
 spleen have also been documented. 
 \nhttp://www.aaemonline.org/gmopost.html\n\nPOISONING THE SOIL & CAUSING 
 MISCARRIAGES IN COWS:\nThe widespread use of glyphosate (Monsanto's 
 RoundUp) is causing negative impacts on soil & plants as well as possibly 
 animal & human health. These are key findings of Don Huber, emeritus 
 professor of plant pathology, Purdue University. “ignoring potential 
 non-target detrimental side effects of any chemical, especially used as 
 heavily as glyphosate, may have dire consequences for agriculture such as 
 rendering soils infertile, crops non-productive, & plants less nutritious. 
 To do otherwise might well compromise not only agricultural sustainability, 
 but also the health & well-being of animals & humans.”

 CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT COST TAXPAYERS TRILLIONS:\nThere is a direct 
 correlation between our genetically engineered food supply & the $2 
 trillion the US spends annually on medical care, namely an epidemic of 
 diet-related chronic diseases. Instead of healthy fruits, vegetables, 
 grains, & grass-fed animal products, US factory farms & food processors 
 produce a glut of genetically engineered junk foods that generate heart 
 disease, stroke, diabetes & cancer.\n\nEVERY TIME YOU EAT GMO'S, 
 FARMER-ENSLAVING, WATER POLLUTING, POLLINATOR KILLING, UNSUSTAINABLE 
 AGRIMONSTERS PROFIT. \n""Every suicide can be linked to Monsanto," "...the 
 journalist Palagummi Sainath is certain the scale of the epidemic of rural 
 suicides is underestimated & that it is getting worse. "Wave upon wave," he 
 says, from his investigative trips in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh & 
 Maharashtra. "One farmer every 30 minutes in India now, & sometimes 3 in 
 one family."\nAs crops from Monsanto failed year after year, thousands & 
 thousands of Indian farmers have killed themselves 
 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/a2173995.html\n\nAFTER THE ARMY COMES 
 MONSANTO:\nOrder 81 mandates that Iraq’s commercial-scale farmers must 
 now purchase "registered” seeds. These are available through agribusiness 
 giants like Monsanto, Cargill Corporation and the World Wide Wheat Company, 
 but Monsanto is far and away the most significant player in the registered 
 seed market. Order 81, by first forcing Iraq’s farmers to use GM seeds, 
 and then by declaring natural seeds an infringement on Monsanto technology, 
 will result in the sorts of tragedies seen elsewhere in the developing 
 world.  Order 81, mandated under the dystopian title "Plant Variety 
 Protection,” turns the agricultural world on its head by defining 
 indigenous crops as invasive and GM crops as uniform and stable. We will 
 control their food supply.
