After The March Against Monsanto, Momentum Favors The PeopleJefferey Jaxen Years of brave activism and mobilized populations of unhappy mothers, disenfranchised farmers, and educated consumers have brought us to this point. Surging forward comes the real work with instant rewards. Led by the recent examples of Mike Adams Forensic Food Lab and the continuous work of the Food Babes army going mainstream, it is clear that companies fear our voice and will instantly comply to the peoples wishes. How do we keep the heat on Monsanto? The companys actions have shown us that their plan will move forward at all costs. So it is up to us to take the reigns and destroy their market share by voting with our dollars. You money is your megaphone, your soapbox, and your most important vote. This is a fact cemented in the pages of historys empty political promises and arrogant corporate attitudes. We have always been taught throughout life that change would require a struggle. Yet, regaining your right to be healthy, eat healthy, and live absent from the constant assault of weaponized food is perhaps the most energizing struggle you could engage in. Plus its a real community builder! Know Your Farmer Most independent farmers these days struggle to make a living unless the are subsidized byMonsanto, Dow, et al. That is why supporting those farmers that choose to go it alone and use organic methods and non-GM seed is now vital. Learn who those individuals/families are and support them. Now is the time. Evey dollar in their pocket is one taken directly from the GMO machine. Grow your own This is the best option and truly gives a win-win. By growing your own you will know where your food is coming from, that its organic, non-gmo, and free. All are luxuries that are slipping through the hands of everyone on this planet. For the non-gardeners, gather neighbors and utilize the monocropping technique. This is accomplished by having each participant grow one crop. You can see in a neighborhood of ten participants there would be greater variety and more yield than any one individual could do alone. In addition, you only have to specialize in learning to grow and harvest one type of plant. Keep The Social Media Heat We have won the hearts and minds of the people. While plowing through this tipping point, its important to keep circulating information via all social media platforms. When petitions become large enough, the right people listen. Since our wishes have continually fallen upon the deaf, unempathetic ears of Monsanto and the man who calls himself president, its time to start focusing on smaller targets. Individual companies and suppliers can be affected. Subway, Whole Foods, McDonalds, Jell-O etc. have all recently witnessed this first hand. Pressure put on them via social media, petitions, and emails to remove GMO in large numbers will serve to disrupt profit margins, take over board meetings, and steer internal policy. In a beautiful twist of fate, those companies then join our sounding board pointed at Monsanto et al. Do you think Monsanto could ignore scores of large corporations terminating business with it because they find themselves no longer profitable from a simple social media campaign or collective movement to boycott GMOs?
