<strong>The</strong> combination of patents, genetic<br />
contamination and the spread of mo<strong>no</strong>cultures<br />
means that society is rapidly losing its seed<br />
freedom and food freedom. Farmers are losing<br />
their freedom to have seed and grow organic food<br />
free of the threat of contamination by GE crops.<br />
Citizens are losing their freedom to k<strong>no</strong>w what<br />
they are eating, and the choice of whether or <strong>no</strong>t<br />
to eat GE free food.<br />
An example of seed mo<strong>no</strong>polies is cotton in<br />
India. In a decade, Monsanto gained control of<br />
95 percent of the cotton seed market, and seed<br />
prices jumped 8,000 percent. India’s Anti-Trust<br />
Court, the Mo<strong>no</strong>poly and Restrictive Trade<br />
Practices Commission, was forced to rule against<br />
Monsanto. High costs of seed and chemicals<br />
have pushed 250,000 farmers to suicide with<br />
most suicides concentrated in the cotton belt.<br />
Monsanto does <strong>no</strong>t just control the seed<br />
through patents. It also spreads its control<br />
through contamination. After spreading genetic<br />
contamination, Monsanto sues farmers as<br />
“intellectual property thieves” as it did in the<br />
case of Percy Schmeiser. That is why a case <strong>has</strong><br />
been brought against Monsanto by a coalition<br />
of more than 80 groups to stop Monsanto from<br />
suing farmers after polluting their crops. (http://<br />

Denial of labeling as the denial<br />
to consumers of their democratic<br />
“Right to K<strong>no</strong>w” and “Right<br />
to Choose”<br />
In June 1997, the US Trade Representative<br />
Charlene Barshefshy warned the European<br />
Union Agriculture Commission Franz Fischler<br />
<strong>no</strong>t to go through with proposals to require<br />
the labeling of genetically modified organisms<br />
(<strong>GMO</strong>s) or their segregation from regular<br />
products. <strong>The</strong> Trade Representative told the<br />
Senate Agriculture Committee that the US<br />
can<strong>no</strong>t tolerate a step which would cause a<br />
major disruption in U.S exports to the E.U.<br />
<strong>The</strong> E.U. Commissioner was under pressure<br />
from European Consumers to label <strong>GMO</strong> foods<br />
