If you live in Washington you need to know about this. Monsanto is now backing the No on 522 campaign. All total detractors have raised $22 million against 522, while its backers, real organic farmers among others (not the fake ones you see in the TV ads) have only raised $6.8 million. Other companies backing No on 522 include ConAgra Foods Inc., PesiCo Inc., Coca Cola Co., Nestle SA, General Mills Inc. and Hershey Co. This is according to today's issue of The Columbian.
It's very simple. When huge corporations back a No, vote Yes. If they back a Yes, vote No. The interests of all these companies are not in alignment with your own. They only care about profit, not your health and well-being. That is why they Monsanto has forced farmers to use GMO seeds that have to be purchased each year, driving them into debt. That's why they purchased Blackwater, their own private military contractors.
Monsanto now has its own military to help enforce its militaristic control of the food industry, INCLUDING the FDA. You read that correctly. The FDA is in league with these same companies I have just listed. They are a corrupt agency, no better than the mafia in their practices, and I mean that literally.
It's time for us to draw a line in the sand, now. Let's stand united and vote Yes on 522. Measure 522 does only one thing, making it the clearest measure I have ever seen. It requires genetically modified food to be labeled as containing GMO. Passing Measure 522 sets a precedent that other states will follow, and its hits these big corporations right where it hurts, in their profit line.
