Worldwide Protests Held Against Monsanto

Protests against seed giant Monsanto have been held across the US and in dozens of other countries.

“March Against Monsanto” organisers said they were calling attention to the dangers posed by genetically modified food and the companies that produce it.

Protests were being held in more than 250 U.S. cities on Saturday.

Genetically modified plants are grown from seeds engineered to resist insecticides and herbicides, add nutritional benefits and improve crop yields.

The company also produces many highly toxic chemicals including pesticides, plastics and artificial food additives.

Some believe they can lead to health problems and harm the environment.

Opponents have pushed for mandatory labelling, although the US government and many scientists have said that the technology was safe.

The Monsanto company, based in Saint Louis, said on Saturday that it respected people’s rights to express their opinion, but believed its seeds helped farmers produce more food, while conserving water and energy.

nezua: hardcoregurlz: Slave gravesite in New York City “SOMETHING YOUR TOUR GUIDE MIGHT NOT TELL YOU:  The heart of NYC’s Financial District is built on a huge 18th century African Burial Ground. Some 419 Africans were discovered in 1991, a large portion women and children. The burial ground extends from Broadway Southward under City Hall, and almost to the site of the former World Trade Center. It is believed that there are as many as 20,000 slavery-era Africans in graves under the buildings in Lower Manhattan.  Abolish historical amnesia and ponder for a moment the fact that this financial epicenter of the world is built on slavery, oppression, and death.” Literally, and daily.
