Bayer/Aventis is HUGE. Do some Googling.

The march has to do with a lack of knowledge.

If just one person wears cotton to the march it's a 100% failure.
Maybe in your eyes, but when a company is so big that they can control the coton trade (as you seem to be indicating) then their monopoly should be stopped. It doesn't bother you that Monsanto controls the FDA?

The rats, cows, pigs and chickens all know the story, even squirrels will not eat GM corn, everything that does eat it is caged and hungry like today"s daft consumers.

You can't control jacksh*t without controlling both sides of the coin.

Don't eat corn if it bothers you.

ALL beer is GMO barley.

You'd prefer cotton hosed down with pesticides?

I would prefer to use hemp but the cotton industry invented the war against hemp (along with DuPont and Hurst Industries)

It doesn't bother you that GE invented "anthropogenic global warming" and the "green" movement?
We are all aware that that is your opinion. Many, including myself, do not agree with you.

I only consume organic humanely strangled small furry animals with big eyes and my beer is made with natural mountain grown grains freshly crushed by innocent bare footed girls. You've had some aspartame today perhaps.

Bayer/Aventis is MASSIVE

Aventis is part of the French company Sanofi, and their revenue is also about 4 times larger than Monsanto. The Swiss company I work for almost bought Aventis, but the French government got involved.

I know all about them. They pump a lot of money into U of Sask.

U of Sask IS a med school, vet medicine and a world leader in crop development. Triple whammy then I guess huh?

Yup. I prefer that corporations did not control everything in my life, but they do control a lot of it whether I like it or not. Today: stop Monsanto. Tomorrow: Stop Beyer. I know it is a losing battle but I just can't sit still and let these heartless pricks steam roller over us. We have to try to take as many down with us as we can.
