TO OPRAH: NO GMOs! Sign the petition to Oprah telling her to drop Monsanto's ad in her publication, O Magazine! Organic farmers shouldn't be advertising GMO propaganda: https://www.change.org/p/oprah-winfrey-oprah-and-o-magazine…
Oprah Winfrey began a 16 acre organic farm on Maui, Hawaii, part of a farmhouse estate of 60 acres. Her friend Bob Greene had convinced her to "give back to the land - and find a way to give back to Maui." Greene, an exercise physiologist and personal trainer whom Winfrey first consulted in the early 1990s about weight loss, continues to advise her on health issues. "His point was that about 90 percent of the food on the island is flown or shipped in from outside, which makes it very expensive to buy - not to mention the carbon footprint involved in getting it here," Winfrey writes. "We realized if we could grow delicious food ourselves, we could share it."
This is exactly opposite of what Monsanto, Dow and the other agrichemcial companies do. All year long, they experiment with GMO seeds and concoctions of toxic synthetic pesticides, poisoning the soil, water, air, and people. And then they ship the GMO seeds out to be grown by GMO farmers in other parts of the world. The chemical corporations are not using valuable land not to grow natural, clean food, but instead pollute all that they touch.
So it's very disappointing to see that O, The Oprah Magazine, began running Monsanto's ads. These ads are meant to draw unsuspecting people, those that don't have a clue what a GMO is, to Monsanto's website in order to brainwash them about how great their questionable GMOs and toxic pesticides are. We know better than that. And Oprah should too. Being as successful as she is, there is no reason why her magazine needs to run these ads.
