I received an email regarding a so called The Monsanto Protection Act in the US. Is this true? According to it on March 21st, US Congress passed "The Monsanto Protection Act" that was slipped into a short term budget resolution. The amendment allows Monsanto to bypass judicial scrutiny, granting them virtual immunity to lawsuits based on adverse health or environmental consequences of their GMOs.With HR 933 now a law does the court system no longer has the right to step in and protect the consumer? "Stewart compared the process of getting Monsanto passed to buying porno, then hiding it under a bigger purchase that might include, say, Mountain Dew and Funyuns." On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K4pfiYK2IQ <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K4pfiYK2IQ> Stewart might get us to laugh about the act, but it's some serious business that not only young adults over there need to care about. It's the future of their and in the long run because of US power worldwide of our food. They also need IMHO also to care because of the political process that allowed "a rider" like this to end up in a completely unrelated US bill.
