from a Mr Martin
I hope people put big brand products boxes on their signs... put the brands that use monsanto.. like Kelloggs... Nabisco... etc. Its the tipping point... once those brands realize that people are connecting them to Monsanto they will dump monsanto.. its the tipping point.. Wal-Mart did it with the growth hormone rbst in milk... they dumped all suppliers doing it and then all the other grocery stores started to dump them too. Tip IT! Lets get brands on the news in a negative light! That is how you go after Monsanto! Monsanto won't stop.. they murder people... going back to Agent Orange.. that is their business.. kill people.

He is right about the rbst
when big food companies stop buying the gmo goods we all win
Tomorrow is a chance to let big food know you think of them when you think of evil monsanto
