The
Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA)—Monsanto's Evil Twin—is pulling
out all the stops to keep you in the dark about what's in your food.
The
GMA plans to sue Vermont to overturn the state's new genetically
engineered food labeling law, H.112. And it's pushing a bill in Congress
that would take away states' rights to enact a GMO labeling laws, while
legalizing the practice of labeling GMO foods "natural."
Monsanto,
Dow, Dupont, Kellogg's, General Mills, Coca-Cola. These are just a few
of the 300-plus members of the GMA. Combined, they own more than 6,000
brand name products, including foods, beverages, seeds, home and garden
supplies, pet food, herbicides and pesticides.
You
probably don't buy most of those products. But you may not be aware
that many of your favorite organic and natural brands, like Honest Tea,
Muir Glen, Odwalla, Kashi, Earthgrains, Santa Cruz and others, are owned
by corporations that do belong to the GMA. Those corporations spent
about $68 million to defeat GMO ballot initiatives in California (Prop
37) and Washington State (I-522). And they continue to fight against
your right to know by supporting the GMA's effort to overturn states'
rights to pass GMO labeling laws.
