    <strong>Horrific Results of New GMO Food Study Reveal Obama Has
      Abandoned FDA Regulation to Chemical Industry Profits</strong>

      <em>Increases in Tumors & Disease in Rats Fed GMO Food
        Discovered in First Long Term Peer Reviewed Study</em><br>

    <p>
      <b>WASHINGTON, DC</b> – Occupy Monsanto, a decentralized network
      of food activists who organized 65 protests at GMO manufacturer
      Monsanto facilities across the globe this week, is calling on the
      Barack Obama Administration to clean house of appointed former
      Monsanto executives who intentionally ignore the serious health
      impacts of eating genetically engineered food due to their
      conflict of interest. A new GMO food study released today gives
      alarming evidence of GMO-induced lethal health complications in
      rats. The data casts an ominous shadow on the Food and Drug
      Administration (FDA) where imperative consumer regulation of GMOs
      is handled by former Monsanto executives. Read the new European
      GMO study at<br>

      <strong>Occupy Boston and the Occupy Monsanto Do Wop Chorus will
        be meeting at 8:00 a.m. at the corner of Athenaeum and W.
        Kendall, Kendall Sq., Cambridge, on Sept. 24, 2012, to prepare
        to serenade the employees of the nearby Monsanto offices
        starting at 8:30 and continuing until we just can’t croon
        anymore. All welcome!</strong></p>
    <p>“Activists are renewing their push for the FDA to review the long
      term safety of GMO food prior to its introduction to the food
      supply,” says Occupy Monsanto spokesperson Gene Etic. “European
      researchers confirmed today rats fed GMO food developed tumors and
      other serious health problems at an alarming rate compared to the
      control group. It isn’t too soon to pull GMO’s out of the food
      supply based on today’s news. The FDA has an obligation to protect
      people from unhealthy food but as long as former Monsanto
      executive <a
        href="http://occupy-monsanto.com/tag/michael-taylor/">Michael
        Taylor</a> is running food safety for Obama nothing will be done
      to protect Americans.”</p>
    <p>
      Absent a new approach by the Obama Administration, the new study
      will fuel more GMO protests that are increasingly becoming
      disruptive as demonstrated last Wednesday, September 12, when
      activists calling themselves the<br>
      <a href="http://occupy-monsanto.com/genetic-crimes-unit/">Genetic
        Crimes Unit</a> (GCU) shut down shipping and receiving access
      points at Monsanto’s massive <a
        href="http://occupy-monsanto.com/tag/oxnard/">Oxnard, California
        GMO seed factory</a>. By peacefully blockading the exit and
      access points at the factory, the group <a
        href="http://occupy-monsanto.com/tag/oxnard/">shut down</a> the
      distribution of genetically engineered (GMO) seeds for a day.</p>
    <p>
      “If the government refuses to stop the distribution of deadly GMO
      seeds in the food supply, more and more activists will engage in
      acts like last week that stopped GMO seed distribution for about 6
      hours in the state of California,” says Ariel Vegosen who was
      arrested with 8 others in Oxnard and charged with trespassing.</p>
    <p>
      Monsanto is the largest producer of GMO seeds. Actions officially
      started on September 17, a year since Occupy Wall Street movement
      began and took place throughout the world including the 45
      protests in the US alone and many others in Germany, Canada,
      India, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Argentina, Australia, Spain,
      Russia, Peru and Japan. More info as well as video available for
