Here's something to get you into the holiday spirit



If you didn't know already, Agent Orange was an herbicide and defoliant used in the Vietnam War as a form of chemical warfare.
It has killed/maimed at least 400,000 and has caused 500,000 birth defects in Vietnam, making it "one of the deadliest concoctions on record" (naturalsociety.com)

But nowww the same herbicide is used in Monsanto's GMOs. And we're eating them.
I don't know about you, but I think that's a little disturbing.

However, you  might be surprised to know that Monsanto actually supported GMO labeling in Europe back in 1997, because they were proud of their biotechnological advances, and they wanted everyone to know about them.

But now things have changed. Monsanto was the number one sponsor for the No on Prop 37 campaign, contributing over $7,000,000 against GMO labeling. 

Large corporations like Monsanto are willing to surrender this much money because they're scared of public awareness. Even if Prop 37 didn't pass, more people each day are learning the truth about GMOs.
