Fight Against Milk - Call to Action

There are many ways to create awareness and one is by investigating different causes. In a past blog I asked people to Vote Yes on Prop 2. Prop 2 was passed in California on Nov. 4, 2008, by a large majority. I think people saw videos like the one below and responded to it.

Here are three painless ways to get involved in things that make a difference to you personally:
  • The Human Society wants to continue the momentum by writing President-elect Barak Obama in hopes of influencing the type of Secretary of Agriculture that is appointed. It is up to us to take it a step further.
  • Join Millions Against Monosanto to fight for better controls and labeling of milk and food supplies The Organic Consumer Association reaches millions of people, having them sign a petition directed at Monosanto/Eli Lilly, the maker of the growth hormone being used with cattle, rBGH. We need to demand that Eli Lilly (who just purchased Monosanto for $300 million) stop force-feeding untested and unlabeled genetically engineered foods on consumers and stop using billions of U.S. tax dollars to subsidize genetically engineered crops: cotton, soybeans, corn and canola.
  • Sign the Food Agenda 2015 Petition to create a global moratorium on genetically engineered foods and crops. Stop factory farming and phase-out industrial agriculture. Convert U.S. agriculture to at least 30% organic by 2015.
