Are
you
one
of
the
majority
of
Americans
who
will
sit
down
to
a
Thanksgiving
dinner
in
which
every
single
dish
has
been
genetically
engineered?
Probably
not,
since
one
of
the
reasons
organic
consumers
buy
organic
is
to
avoid
GE
ingredients,
pesticide
and
drug
residues,
and
the
collateral
damage
to
the
environment
that
accompany
every
plate
of
factory
farmed
food.
Please
visit
the
Organic
Consumers
Association's
Genetic
Engineering
and
Biotechnology
Resource
page,
where
you
can
learn
which
foods
contain
GMOs
(genetically
modified
organisms),
what's
coming
soon,
why
Monsanto
and
the
biotech
industry
pose
a
serious
threat
to
organic,
and
what
you
can
do
about
it. Take
Action
for
a
GMO-Free
Thanksgiving
and
an
Organic
Future!
Thank
you
to
everyone
-
nearly
12,000
of
you!
-
who
took
action
to
stop
the
Super
Committee's
Secret
Farm
Bill!
It
worked!
Many
OCA
allies,
including
Food
Democracy
Now,
helped
turn
this
dictatorial
move
on
the
part
of
"business
as
usual"
Congressional
hacks
into
yet
another
public
relations
disaster
for
corporate
agribusiness.
The
Super
Committee
deadlocked
on
what
kind
of
farm
and
food
budget
they
wanted,
which
means
we
can
continue
to
pressure
Congress
not
to
cut
$10
billion
from
farm
conservation
programs
and
food
stamps
over
the
next
10
years. Check

Thank
you
to
everyone
who
supported
our
work
in
2011!
Everyone
who
donated,
everyone
who
volunteered,
everyone
who
took
the
time
to
take
action!
You
made
it
possible
to
continue
the
transition
to
an
organic
future
by
fighting
back
against
the
biotech
bullies
and
their
government
lackeys,
supporting
state
and
federal
legislative
reforms,
building
local
chapters,
holding
nationwide
protests,
and
putting
pressure
on
the
corporations
who
control
the
food
supply.
In
2012,
we're
going
to
have
to
fight
even
harder,
but
the
rewards
will
be
much
greater.
With
the
2012
California
ballot
initiative,
we
have
a
real
chance
to
hit
Monsanto
with
the
skull
and
crossbones
they
fear
so
much--mandatory
labels
on
genetically
engineered
food.
If
we
can
win
in
California
in
November,
we'll
be
so
close
to
an
organic
future,
we'll
be
able
to
hear
her
breathing!
Please
be
as
generous
as
you
can
this
holiday
season.
