Yesterday a worldwide protest began that involved 436 different cities in 52 different countries in a march against Monsanto. Assuming you dont know Monsanto is a company currently genetically modifying food (this includes some fish) with no care for a large amount of health complications ranging from tumors to rupturing red blood cells in lab rat tests and is attempting to patent the seeds.
Their corn (modified to handle 2-4-d a dangerous ingredient from Agent Orange as pesticide/herbicide) currently dominates 80% of the U.S. market, and many foreign countries also have a high percentage.
They are currently banned in 10+ countries and Labeling of GMO products is required in Vermont and Connecticut, though the federal government of the U.S. just passed a bill making states no longer have that choice.
