We decided to go to the March Against
Monsanto in Orlando, as we feel strongly about our food health. We have been told about a company Monsanto (the makers of Agent Orange, DDT, Bovine Growth hormone and GMO's) is, along with a few other large chemical corporations, is trying to take over the worlds food supply making us dependent on them for food. Or some believe to poison us so we will be dependent on the pharmaceutical companies. Or to control the population. Or to control the world by enslaving us all.
As we approached city hall we saw a lot of people holding signs. Everyone was very friendly. Mostly young people with children. There were a few tables set up with people handing out fliers. Mostly it was everyday people like us who are outraged at what is being passed off as food.

There were a few people from
Anonymous and there was even one guy dressed like the
Lorax. Most people were there to protest
GMO's and spread the word about the bees. Round up, another Monsanto product, along with other
neonicotinoids products are the cause of
colony collapse and if allowed to continue to be sprayed will end our bees. A few were holding signs to protest the
TPP. TPP is a secret trade agreement that corporations are hatching to be above national laws. But mostly everyone was there to try to spread awareness about our food and what has been done to it. When you add every thing up together it's really quite scary.

It was good to see so many people who care about the environment and about their health and the health of the American citizen. Mostly people are not saying end this science now. Oh no. They just want to know what we are eating. Is it bread or a
yoga mat? You eat it and you can't tell because science has progressed to a point where they can spray a chemical on poop and it will not only taste good you will want to eat more and more until you die, literally, from eating it.

It was a pretty hot day for a march. I think we started marching a little late too. Many of the speakers were very passionate about what they were saying and we learned a lot of good stuff.

| Me listening to the speakers. |
They passed out chants and as we marched we shouted chants. Hell No GMO and the like.

In the end as one of the signs said 'an informed public is their worst enemy'. Don't rely on one source for your
news. Learn what you can about what is being done to your food. And try to avoid chemicals. Remember if we all stop buying GMO's companies will stop putting it in their products. If you pick one thing to stop buying and try to make more meals from scratch you will help bring the giant down. The giant being
MONSANTO!
