| I'm Leanne McAdoo and this is an InfoWars Nightly News Alert. | |
| People around the globe will assemble in protest against Monsanto's genetic manipulation of the food supply in a massive movement known as the March Against Monsanto. | |
| People who are fed up with Monsanto's monopoly are hoping that this march will bring global awareness to the company's diabolical reach. | |
| Corporations like Monsanto, their goal basically is to take over our food supply. | |
| Most people are not aware that their food is highly contaminated. | |
| They trust the FDA, thinking that the FDA is protecting them, when in fact the FDA has sold them up the river. | |
| Leading consumer advocate Jeffrey Smith has researched in-depth the effects of GMOs. | |
| The glyphosate, or active ingredient in Roundup, is linked to essentially every major Western disease on the rise due to diet. | |
| So from cancer, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, anxiety, aggression, anorexia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, autism, it's very, very dangerous. | |
| And it is unfortunately in high concentrations of these Roundup Ready crops, which is the vast majority of all GMOs that we eat. | |
| Companies like Kashi, people think that Kashi has clean food. | |
| Kashi's GMO. | |
| A lot of their products have GMOs in them. | |
| And so we need to bring awareness to people on Who to shop with, how to get clean food. | |
| If they can't afford to buy organic, they can work at farms and get their produce for free. | |
| The founders of the grassroots group, Food is Free Project, are already working to teach local communities how to provide for themselves by coming together and growing their own food. | |
| The Food is Free project was kind of born out of the idea of planting a front yard garden. | |
| We realized by being out in our front yard, hands in the soil, we started to meet and engage with neighbors that were walking by with their dogs or whatnot. | |
| What if we lined a block in front yard gardens and got people, you know, connected? | |
| We try to use as many salvaged materials as possible. | |
| It just helps to, it just makes it a lot easier, you know. | |
| It doesn't have to be like a cost intensive sort of thing to get started gardening on your own. | |
| Chickens are great. | |
| They'll save money on eggs and go through your compost and turn it for you. | |
| They'll go through a field, like any spot where you want to be planting, and just having chickens there for a little while makes the soils really happy with it. | |
| Aquaponics is another really great way for people to grow their own food, be independent of the system, and be more self-sustaining. | |
| The really cool thing about this is that it's a soilless system, right? | |
| So this is just expanded clay and pea gravel. | |
| You can grow vegetables and fruits. | |
| Down here we've got our fish. | |
| We've got goldfish. | |
| You could grow tilapia. | |
| We aren't eating these fish. | |
| We're just growing them for their nutrients. | |
| So it's fine to just have like a little goldfish. | |
| And you see here how it all pays off. | |
| Coming together to grow a community garden is absolutely an effective way to flip the bird to companies like Monsanto. | |
| But in the meantime, grocery stores will still remain the main provider of our food. | |
| Even so, you can have control over what you're eating by phoning your state rep. | |
| We want everybody to contact them demanding the overturn of the Monsanto Protection Act and to put in place a bill that requires labeling for all GMO products. | |
| If we could get the GMO labeling in place, when people are shopping and they see this seal that says, contains GMO ingredients, they're going to be, well wait, what is this? | |
| What am I eating? | |
| Simply typing in your 5-digit zip code at whoismyrepresentative.com will immediately give you the phone number and website of your state representative. | |
| Now, we think that when about 5% of US shoppers avoid brands that contain GM ingredients, that would be sufficient to create a tipping point of consumer rejection, turning GMOs into a marketing liability, and forcing the companies to abandon GMOs. | |
| GM ingredients. Being at home behind a computer screen reading about the things Monsanto is | |
| doing to the state of affairs in our world can be very disheartening and very paralyzing. | |
| So when we go out in the street and we meet people and we talk to them about our gardens | |
| and the things that we're doing and the things that we can do together, I think that's one | |
| of the most empowering moments that we can share when it comes to our food system and | |
| food sovereignty. The March Against Monsanto will happen around the world on May 25th. | |
| It's all being organized online via an open Google document where you can find the protest nearest you and be a part of it. | |
| There are still a lot of open slots for organizers and speakers, so if you feel like contributing to the event in that capacity, be sure to check it out. | |
| Now you can find the link to that Google document as well as more stories on this topic at InfoWars.com. |
