This buycott campaign is a long overdue counter offensive to the relentless attacks by GMO activists on Labs, Research, Scientists and Educators, Farmers, Companies and the most vulnerable citizens of the world. Most Anti-GMO campaigns are based on fear and ignorance not facts. The labeling campaigns exploit people's ignorance, sow confusion, offer no real information on food content, employ dishonest tactics such as consensus aspersion and promote deadly pseudoscience. Their objectives are to limit farmer freedom, consumer choice and ban GMOs. Voluntary labels already offer choice that caters to their fetishes.
There are many misconceptions about Agriculture and Food we hope to set straight. Scientists and Skeptics have been writing extensively on the subject and wish to engage in open dialogue but Organic Farmers and Producers need to be honest when comparing their environmental footprints to Conventional and GMO Agriculture. Here are some crucial factors to consider: TotalPesticides, Pesticide Toxicity, Water, Carbon Emissions, Land and other environmental footprints such as soil depletion and run off. Where is the proof that Organic is more environmentally sustainable or fresher or healthier or tastier?.
. A "Live and Let Live" philosophy is embraced by a host of ethical organic companies listed here. They will be added to this campaign in the "support" database. Scientifically grounded, rational ethical people will use Buycott to vote with our wallets against anti-GMO, pro-labeling companies and NGOs.
