The issue here is more than just corporate takeover of the seed supply. The basic function of evolution’s survival of the fittest is to have biodiversity to allow life forms to adapt to changing conditions; once we destroy the biodiversity we become 100% responsible for all future adaptations and natural evolution is rendered virtually non-existent.

Occupy Monsanto World Headquarters
Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 8:00am until Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 12:00am
Monsanto World Headquarters, 800 North Lindbergh Boulevard, Saint Louis, MO (314) 694-1000, 800 North Lindbergh Boulevard, Saint Louis, MO (314) 694-1000, Saint Louis, MO
Following up on two actions at Monsanto’s headquarters in 2011, we return to St. Louis for the 2012 Monsanto shareholders meeting on January 24!
Please RSVP if you plan to attend the OCA picket line at Monsanto’s headquarters! [please email mikedvegan@gmail.com]
Monsanto is consistently ranked among the most evil of all corporations on Earth, wreaking havoc on public health and the environment with its deadly chemicals, but under U.S. law, people and living things don’t matter to a corporation, only profits for its shareholders. So, we’ve teamed up with a group of ethical shareholders led by Harrington Investments, a socially responsible investment advisory firm, that wants to change how Monsanto operates.
What if Monsanto had to pay for its corporate crimes? If it were to be held liable for costs associated with its products, shareholders would see their accounts dramatically reduced. We intend to inform them of this.
Please join us in St. Louis to support a shareholder resolution to study the financial risks associated with genetically engineered crops. While an OCA representative is speaking inside the shareholders meeting, another group of us will be outside, peacefully picketing.
Come to St. Louis to Make Monsanto Pay!
Contact OCA Organizer Mike Durschmid [mikedvegan@gmail.com] to join in.

I had no idea that it had reached this extent, that the food choices we have today have absolutely dwindled to such an extent. This would be the equivalent to a painter having only 3 colors to work with. We are losing (or have lost) so much richness in diversity. This is indeed very tragic. Thank you for this important information.
Thank you so much Maria ~ Monsanto has cast its darkness over our planet and lives for too long …and allowed to do so all for corporate profit and greed ~ Bless the occupy voices for supporting humanity over these corporate criminals ~
