What about bringing information on sustainable farming and on GMO Food to the school districts and to the PTA’s. Between the school district & the parents if informed correctly there is a good chance quite a few of them would not want their children eating this stuff (it’s got to be in the school lunches). With knowledge & help on how to avoid these “Foods” Schools may be inclined to start their own vegetable gardens.
I think if we can get the parent’s attention on this issue that is one of the best starting points. We all want to protect our kids.

It’s time to take back the control that the US farmers have always had to grow crops from year to year with their own seeds. This will not only support the farmers and their families but will supply the USA with natural wholesome produce that most of us grew up on in the past.

It’s NOW OR NEVER…SAY NO TO GMO!

“mounting a vigorous, 55,000-plus strong online petition effort”

Really though, while I support the fight for sustainable food.

Internet petitions are far more than useless, they waste time and make people think they’re doing something good. They do NOTHING.

Not even a TV show has been resurrected by the magic of internet petitions, they’re too lazy and easy to fudge information on.

Either mail or call people of worth, don’t bother with the internet for anything other than organizational purposes.
