"President Obama and the USDA have chosen to override and ignore decisions and injunctions made by the U.S. Supreme Court that banned planting of genetically engineered alfalfa and sugar beets without consideration of the Environmental Impact Assessments, which showed high risks to organic and conventional (chemical) farmers.Sugar beets provide over 50 percent of the sugar Americans use in their coffee, cereals, and desserts. Alfalfa reaches our tables within milk, cream, butter, and meat, as it is used as a major animal feed in the dairy industry. Obama’s push for deregulation potentially also means the end of the organic meat and organic dairy industries as we presently know them. Essentially, he is choosing to favor the profits of big agribusiness over the survival of America’s family farmers, and especially America’s organic farmers. Our democracy has to work for farmers and consumers and not just for multinational biotech corporations. It makes absolutely no sense that the economic risks to farmers are not considered before genetically engineered crops are put on the market. It is farmers who pay the costs of genetic contamination, not the biotech companies." excerpted from Autumn of Hope editorial. Please sign this petition to tell Obama to receverse his decision and ban gmos for at least 10 years like Peru's Congress just did.

It's so sad that so many products I used and enjoyed as a kid are filled with gmos and I won't spend a cent I worked so hard for on some fake man made (that was not meant to be)product.

Get them out of the US. 26 other countries have banned GMO'S and many States and the rest are trying. Half the kids in the US will have autism by 2015.

We need to stop supporting corporate companies pushing GMO seeds and foods onto Americans, not only is it corporate greed but jeopardizing consumers health. Other countries are banning GMO seeds and foods, United States needs to join countries banning GMO.

The food industry in America is the worst example of government corruption which feeds on the public unnaware and misguided attempts. Its sad--and crazy--in this day and age that here in America, gmos are still legal and unlabeled. Shame on the government.

I have been signing gmo petitions, asking for them to be banned or àt the very least labeling, for about 4 years now and not once has there been a vote to ban them on any ballot let alone discussion from our leaders! This should be front and center especially for one so concerned about healthcare!
