"Moms Across America are gathering around the country to spread awareness of GMOs because they have seen the health of their children improve when they remove genetically modified, or GM foods, from their children's diets. These peaceful demonstrations are being conducted throughout America because they believe every U.S. citizen has a right to know if GMO ingredients are used in the foods they choose to feed their families.
•Many mothers have reported that their children fare worse health-wise than children from other countries. The notable difference is that 80% of this nation's food contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). (2)
•Today 1 out of 3 American children are overweight or obese since GMOs have been introduced. (3)
•1 out of 3 American children now have allergies, autism/ADHD, asthma, or auto-immune disorders. (4)
•These Moms see firsthand that when they take their children off GMOs, and feed them organic food, their symptoms either disappear or dramatically improve.
Today, many people know a child affected by food allergies, asthma, or autism. Moms Across America sees that the future and potential of an entire generation of children is being stolen from them because of the impact to their health from GMOs. This is why the MAA group is publishing an open letter to Monsanto, the leading agricultural and chemical corporation in the United States. Historically, such a letter has never been issued by Moms to any corporation in the world, to date.
This growing group of mothers question the intentions of biotechnology corporations like Monsanto. Despite continued rhetoric that GMO technology intends to feed the world, countries have continually rejected GM foods. (5) MAA understands the intention to put insecticides into the food our nation eats was to reduce the quantity of insecticides sprayed on the food consumed."
