There are bill's being proposed that do all those things. The first gathering was in St. Louis, the second one in India, the third in Seattle. The event brought together consumer and environmental groups, students, labor, and farmers from all over the country to talk about what we are going to do about the corporate takeover of the food supply in the form of biotechnology. It was the largest gathering of its kind in this country. It's an unprecedented coalition of farmer labor, environmental and consumer constituencies forming around a common goal of ending domination of seed by Monsanto, Novartis and other biotech companies.
Seed is the building block of the food system.
That's why this event was held in Boston. The biotech industry organization was meeting there too to tout the wonderful benefits of this technology. We believe it's ridiculous that they tout these benefits of feeding the world when they have no basis in reality because the problem of hunger has never been a problem of production. It's a problem of access to the wealth of a society. It's a problem of lack of democracy.
