COCOA BEACH, Florida -- A "March Against Monsanto" is scheduled to take place at the corner of State Roads A1A and 520 on October 12, 2013 at 2 p.m.
The movement against agriculture giant Monsanto highlights what activists claim is "the plight of
Monsanto’s domination of
our country’s food supply and their infiltration of hazardous GMOs
(genetically modified organisms) into seed crops and animal feed."
Monsanto has patenting rights over some agricultural seed engineered
from the DNA of different species of
plant, animal, bacterial, and viral genes.
Local organizers say that their mission "is to
educate Cocoa Beach on the vast and dire threat that Monsanto poses to
our health and Democracy. We are not marching to alienate or antagonize
our community, but to antagonize and expose Monsanto. We are marching to
educate our community and the world."
Activists contend that Monsanto’s
genetically-modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such
as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects.
