Reject Dow’s application for “non-regulated status” of its 2,4-D-resistant corn and all GMO crops.

Created by S.B. on February 12, 2012

One of the original manufacturers of Agent Orange (AO), that did so much damage in Vietnam, has developed new genetically modified crops that are designed to resist a major ingredient in AO: the herbicide called (2,4-D). Now that staple crops have been engineered to be resistant to 2,4-D, it may soon be applied to U.S. land on an unprecedented scale.

The whole point of engineering resistance to an herbicide within a GMO plant, is so that you can "carpet bomb" an entire field, leaving only your "Frankenfoods" standing, without having to exert a fraction of the effort to grow organically and sustainably.

Similar experiments with Roundup-resistant crops actuallly promoted the evolution of resistant invasive weeds - making matters worse.

Our children need fewer toxins, not more.
