Next GMO Campaign Meeting: Monday, October 26 at 7PM It would take 5% of US consumers asking for GMO-free to be the tipping point. Monsanto's stock is declining. A clear sign of this occurred when the president of Whole Foods confessed that when a product becomes verified as Non-GMO or GMO-free, sales leap by 15-30 percent. Of all the categories of health and wellness claims, such as “gluten-free,” etc, “GMO-free” products have the most rapid growth in sales. We can win this! Together we can stop GMOs.
