"BREAKING: EPA Approves 'Agent Orange' Deadly Duo Poison. Take the Factory Farm Free Pledge!

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ignoring more than 60 members of Congress and a half a million citizens, late yesterday approved a deadly new herbicide, Dow's Enlist Duo, made from a combination of Monsanto's Roundup and Dow's "Agent Orange" 2,4-D.

The new herbicide will be used on Dow's newly approved corn and soy crops, engineered to withstand massive doses of the new "Deadly Duo" herbicide.

****Where will the vast percentage of these new crops go? To feed animals on factory farms.****

Take Action: Take the Factory Farm Free Friday Pledge!

Better yet? Pledge to boycott factory farms forever!

With yesterday's approval of Dow's Enlist crops and Deadly Duo herbicide, the EPA, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which also signed off on the crops, have signaled that they have no intention of ending the rampant escalation of the use of*** increasingly toxic poisons by industrial agriculture.****

The only way we will stop them is by shutting down demand for GMO crops. That will take millions of consumers switching to organic, non-GMO food at the supermarket--and that means boycotting meat, eggs and dairy from factory farms.

Now, more than ever, it's time to fight back.

Take Action: Take the Factory Farm Free Friday Pledge!

This is SO scary. And it is a tough one for many consumers who, like moi, have not been eating ONLY organic meat, eggs, dairy - partly because of the price; partly because I'm never sure exactly what "organic" means.

We have 4 farmers markets here in town, so we have *some* assurance. But far from everybody has that kind of access. And most consumers are totally uninformed -- and unfortunately uninterested in how their meat, eggs, dairy got to the supermarket.

So maybe it's time to stop being passive victims and bombard our Congresswhores -- oops, representatives -- to demand they outlaw what the FDA/USDA-whores now permit their client, Dow, to feed the animal prisoners on factory farms.
