Frankenfood Protest
Join thousands of people across the continent who are demanding that Kraft Foods stop using genetically engineered ingredients. Your help is needed to send a strong message to Betsy Holden, CEO of the largest food company in the United States, that we don't want untested, unlabeled, genetically engineered food on our supermarket shelves or our plates.
Join the Genetically Engineered Food Alert Coalition for a rally and leafleting on Friday, Oct. 31, from noon to 1 p.m., in front of the lobby office for Kraft, near Union Station in Washington (101 Constitution Ave. NW). For more information, contact Jessica Hoffman by e-mail or at 202/783-7400, ext. 104; Lisa Archer by e-mail or at 202/783-7400, ext. 190.
