Protestors in Canada and abroad rally against GMOs
March Against Monsanto protests held in 52 countries and 436 cities
Hey hey! Ho ho! GMOs have got to go!
That was the chant heard across the globe this weekend, as protestors marched against biotechnology company Monsanto and the genetically modified foods its seeds grow.
Organizers say “March Against Monsanto” events were held in over 50 countries and some 436 cities, including Halifax, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver (among many other Canadian locations).
Some people argue GMOs cause negative health effects and damage ecosystems.
Health Canada, for its part, says that in 12 years of careful study, it has not found evidence to support the claim that GMOs are harmful.
