Better Living Through Chemistry? Not in this case.


On March 31, 2009 the Senate Foreign Relations Committee outrageously approved S.384 the Global Food Security Act of 2009!

This is an example of good intentions gone bad! It's very noble that the U.S. wants to help food security in other countries but not when companies such as Monsanto get their hand in it!!

Part of the bill MANDATES that the U.S. must fund GMO research and biotechnology in Africa and South Asia!!

Isn't this crazy??

Why don't they also mandate the use of organic/sustainable agriculture in these countries??

Please call/write your senator and let them know that you are not happy about this part of the bill and won't allow it to be passed in the full Senate!
