Stop Monsanto’s Dream Bill

Here we are again, fighting to stop Monsanto from pushing through a bill (Monsanto’s Dream Bill, aka the DARK Act) that would ban states from requiring GMO labeling. This is the final push before Vermont’s GMO labeling law goes into effect on July 1st, so please share this with everyone you know! Monsanto and the GMA are desperate to push this bill through because they know Vermont is the tipping point. 93% of Americans want GMOs to be labeled, and once the ball starts rolling,  there will be no stopping the momentum. Sign this petition to tell your senators you demand GMO labeling!

Tell Congress to Fight for a Bill for Better Child Nutrition

Congressmen Todd Rokita (IN-04) and John Kline (MN-02) have introduced a bill that would deny so many hungry children a nutritious school lunch. The nutrition program for low-income families has taken a lot of hard work and time, and this bill completely guts any progress that was made, and puts children in danger of suffering from hunger. School lunch is the only meal some children get, and we all know good nutrition is necessary for proper development and growth. Sign and share this petition to tell Congress our children need a healthy, nutritious school lunch program. Politics shouldn’t come before the well-being of children.

Tell the FDA to Remove Carrageenan from Our Food

Carrageenan is a widely used additive that has no nutritional value, but is used as a thickener and emulsifier in food. Studies have found that carrageenan’s use is associated with high rates of gastrointestinal problems like inflammation, IBS, even cancer. This additive is in many foods, even natural or organic foods, and that is unacceptable. The food industry keeps telling us carrageenan is safe, while science and health experts tell us it is definitely not. The FDA seems to be siding with the food industry on this, and many other cases, and we know it’s due to the strong lobbying and deep pockets of industry reps. It’s time for the FDA to do it’s job and protect the people, not corporations. Sign and share this petition to tell the FDA we want carrageenan removed from food, especially food labeled as organic!
