Last weekend was the worldwide March Against Monsanto with peaceful protests in cities all over the globe. I talked to a holistic health advisor and personal trainer who attended the March against Monsanto in Chicago. He said it was very family friendly and that there were up to 3000 people who attended and that the protest had a really positive energy. He told me that the media reported that 700 people attended, which is very common for the media to under-report numbers on events like this, since the media aren't on the anti-Monsanto bandwagon (that would would be detrimental for their advertising revenue!)
I've written a lot about GM foods, and now a former researcher--and once supporter--of GM plants is now speaking out about their dangers. It's important to remember that the Bt corn and soya plants are actually registered as insecticides. Much of the research that touts the long term safety to GM crops has been done by industry-insiders (such as Monsanto) as opposed to external groups. The longest animal study done by industry-researchers was only 90 days long!
