VATIC ALERT FOR CALIFORNIA: Monsanto and fellow Vampire Squids Dump $25 Million against GMO Labelling in CA.
I also explained that WE ARE NOT STUPID OUT HERE… if they contributed to the opposition to labeling, it means they are using GMO products and thus we don’t need the labeling, we have their names contributing against the labeling, so thus, we know they use it and we will boycott their products and grow and make our own. The only way around this for them, I told them, was to make both. GMO for those too stupid to know better, and the NON GMO labelled products for the rest of us. We need to call these companies and tell them this above.
You can find the full list of funders right here http://organicconsumersfund.org/label/prop-37-funders.cfm be careful since some products you use are named differently than their parent company, so the first thing I asked smuckers was “do you represent dickenson family preserves?” and she said yes. So then I gave her my spiel. When you call, say “Krogers”, ask first off the bat what the name of their parent company is and then check the list below that I am giving you.
Here are the two I called so far. Tell them you buy their products now, because you probably do, and that you will cease forever, and will pass that onto your children to never buy their products and family, friends, neighbors, co-workers etc…. everybody you can, to quit using their products since they have violated your trust as a provider of our food. Here is the first one and they are a big donor in the millions of dollars, its General Mills, 800-328-1144 and the other was Smuckers Jelly , (800) 535-5437, when you call them, tell them you will switch to the french jelly ST. Dalfour from France since france BURNED GMO FIELDS OF CROPS, THE PEOPLE DID IT, SO THEIR COMPANIES ARE NON GMO RIGHT NOW. So, we must call every single one of those companies and give them the what for….. Let them know we will never buy their products again since they contributed to the opposition meaning they are already using GMO in their products. See what they say. Tell them we also know how to get our food tested to be sure they are not lying. Here is the number for Campbell soup company 800-650-7347, this looks like the same number I called for Krogers, out of Ohio, so this may well be a subsidiary so ask if campbells is owned by a bigger company.
Below is the list of companies and you can find their 1-800 number on the product packaging if you currently buy their products. WE MUST FIGHT BACK WITH THE BIGGEST TOOL WE HAVE, OUR POCKETBOOKS. Its for the Children and our old people who are both vulnerable and harmed most by the GMO pesticide markers. We are seeing elderly in worst shape than I have ever seen them…. and they are dying rapidly and early…. so please, lets fight for them now. California is the test. Remember SB 510 where they will not let us grow our own food and they are putting our family farms out of business in record numbers and shipping our food growing to south america. That is unacceptable. Lets fight back while we still can.
The Biotech Goliath Roars: Monsanto’s Gang Dumps $25 Million into NO on 37 Campaign to Label GMOs
The California Secretary of State just released the latest Who’s Who of donors to the NO on 37 and YES on 37 campaigns. Topping the list of donors to the NO on 37 anti-labeling campaign is Monsanto and the rest of the Biotech agri-toxics gang, aided and abetted by processed food manufacturers and supermarket chains. As of Aug. 15, they’ve raised more than $25 million to keep you from knowing what’s in your food. And of course the November 6 election is still more than two months away. On our side, YES on 37, we’ve raised $2.7 million with several million more in pledges.
Who are the top donors on our side, calling for truthful labels on GMOs? The top two donors are Mercola.com, the nation’s largest network of natural health consumers, and the Organic Consumers Fund (OCF), the allied grassroots lobbying arm of the Organic Consumers Association. Mercola.com has already donated $800,000 to the cause, while the OCF has donated approximately $700,000 so far, almost all of which has come in the form of small donations from organic food consumers. Other large donors to the YES on 37 campaign so far include Nature’s Path, Dr. Bronner’s, Lundberg Family Farms, Eden Foods, and Organic Valley, leading brands in the organic industry.
It’s clear that the NO on 37 folks have a lot at stake – namely, grotesque profits. After Monsanto, the top donor is DuPont Pioneer, at more than $2.4 million. Pepsi/Frito Lay has moved into the no. 3 spot, at more than $1.7 million. In all, nine companies have pitched in more than $1 million each – most of them biotech and pesticide companies, along with Pepsi, Nestle and Coca-Cola.
Total number of major donors so far to the NO on Prop 37 campaign? 45 – all with ties to the biotech, pesticide and Big Food industries. Total number of major donors to the YES campaign? 18 – none with ties to biotech, pesticides or Big Food.
Goliath has indeed roared, but the food fight of our lives has just begun. Goliath has more money, but David, our champion on the battlefield, has truth and grassroots power backing him up. How much more will the Biotech Bullies and Big Ag spend to keep voters in the dark about chemical and energy intensive GMO food? Please stay tuned from now until Nov. 6. We’ll keep you informed and motivated to join OCA, OCF, and our allies in this historic battle that will determine the future of food and farming, not only in North America, but across the world.
Hershey Company
Bumble Bee Foods LLC - Bumble bee foods is a chinese company anyway.
Sara Lee Corp. – This company uses children 9 years old as slave labor and many do not live past 11. Boycott them anyway. I have not bought a sara lee product since I found out about it during my rabbithole on child slave labor.

USDA Fast-Tracks GMO Crop Approval ProcessDespite massive public opposition, last year theUSDA announced plans to streamline its genetically engineered petition process under the Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Earlier this year, these controversial changes were implemented, speeding up the approval process for new genetically engineered seeds and crops. The new process will cut in half the time it takes for new GE seeds and crops to enter the market.
USDA claims that the new fast-track process allows for earlier input from the public to improve the quality of its environmental analyses. But according to a USDA press release, the new process is a part of efforts by the Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, to “transform USDA into a high-performing organization that focuses on its customers.” The customers that USDA is so keen on assisting are none other than Monsanto, Dow, Dupont, BASF, Syngenta, and the rest of the Biotech bullies! Take Action: 12 New GMOs Up For Approval!
