Land O'Lakes = GMO

Hay Now — It’s Boycott Time: Land O’Lakes, This Means You!

By now you’ve heard how President Obama and his Monsanto Administration
have plowed through approvals of three more genetically engineered
products, including GE alfalfa. Well, here’s something else you should
know:
To produce its Round-Up Ready Alfalfa seeds, Monsanto partnered with a
company called Forage Genetics International, which is a *wholly owned
subsidiary of Land O’Lakes dairy co-op.* That’s right, Land O’Lakes
stands to make a fortune from polluting our food supply with untested
and unlabeled GMOs.
To protest, you could sign one of the many petitions going around that
will likely just be ignored. But there’s another way to show your
disapproval of genetically engineered Round-Up Ready Alfalfa: *Boycott
all Land O’Lakes products* — its butter, cheese, eggs, speads,
margarine, seasonings, creams, cocoa and cappuccino mixes, sour cream
and milk. All of them.
You have the power to *economically punish Land O’Lakes* — the owner of
Forage Genetics, *Monsanto’s partner in crime* — for its role in
polluting the food chain with untested and unlabeled GMOs, increasing
the use of toxic glyphosate herbicide, and potentially destroying the
organic beef and dairy feed market *by loudly refusing to support Land
O’Lakes with your dollars. *
Tell all your friends to go to all the supermarkets in their area and
let the check-out clerks know that they’re boycotting Land O’Lakes
products until they are out of the GMO business, loud enough for other
shoppers to hear. And next, stop by the store manager’s desk and tell
him about the boycott.
Send Land O’Lakes and other companies a clear message: *HAY you — We’re
FED UP with GMOs in our food supply! *
And to make sure Land O’Lakes knows why its sales are down, contact its
president and CEO Chris Policinski and let him know you won’t be buying
Land O’Lakes products anymore because you don’t want genetically
engineered food or animal feed:
Chris Policinski
President and CEO
Land O’Lakes
4001 Lexington Avenue
Arden Hills, MN 55126-2998
651/481-2222
Spread the word…

You got it.

It is the only voting system the corporations understand.

They vote with their dollars and purchase legislation and favors from a
government that is suppsoe to be of the people and by the people.

On the other hand, they wouldn't have that money to purchase legislation
that is
bad for us, IF WE DIDN'T FIRST PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCTS.

Land O'Lakes, if you find this one easy, look at these sites and see if
you can
find soeone else who works agasint your best interests, and then find a
local
producer of the same rpoducts and supprot your local community by
sending your
money there intead of to mega Corporations who bank off shore.

1. It's almost impossible these days to get much food that is NOT "polluted"

somewhere along the line:(
