    I don't understand this - how is such a march, apparently nowhere near any legislative building nor headquarters of Monsanto itself, supposed to "stop" Monsanto or the GMO foods trend? It's cool that people get to dress-up in funny costumes and carry obscenity-bearing signs, but how is that and the aforementioned supposed to send a defiant shockwave through the boardroom of Monsanto and the chambers of Congress?

    Anon 9:25 am. All good questions. Who organized this noise parade anyway? It may be in a good cause but EV is no way near a GMO/Monsanto corporate haven.
