As part of the Rally for Real Food event that demands GMO labeling of food, Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) delivered a rousing speech from the steps of the Austin, Texas capitol building. He joined a lineup of other hard-hitting GMO labeling advocates such as Neil Carman Ph.D., a program director of the Sierra Club, Judith McGeary of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance (http://farmandranchfreedom.org), Ken Whitman, the president of Natural Vitality (www.NaturalVitality.com), and Doug Foreman, CEO of the Beanitos snack food company (www.Beanitos.com) which is taking a courageous stand against GMOs and is certified GMO-free by the Non-GMO Project (http://www.nongmoproject.org/2011/0…).

NaturalNews has posted pictures from the event in a Facebook album, viewable at: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?…

In this photo album, you’ll see pictures of children holding protest signs, crowds of people tuning in and learning about why GMO labeling is so important for our future, and pictures of the Health Ranger and other speakers talking to the public and the local press. Video footage from the event will be posted soon by several organizations, including NaturalNews and the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance.

The purpose of the rally was to raise awareness about the dangers of GMOs and call for public unity in demanding GMO labeling in foods. “The public has a right to know what’s in the food they buy and feed their children,” said Mike Adams at the event. “This is a fundamental issue of our right to know what we’re eating. We the People demand that the foods we buy be accurately labeled so that can make an informed choice about avoiding genetically engineered ingredients.”
