Occupy Austin - #F29 Occupy Our Food Supply delivering Cease and Desist letters to Monsanto offices in Lockhart TX [2012-02-29] (by OccupyJamie)
Label It Yourself (#LIY) is a decentralized, autonomous grassroots campaign born out of our broken food system. We have been asking our government to label food products so we can make educated decisions about what we eat. The government has ignored our requests and so we are taking matters into our own hands.

Endless support from the local farmers and businesses around town made our events possible. Many people here do not know about Monsanto and GMO’s and or support the actions of Monsanto’s practices. It truly is a challenge trying to start a movement here in the Belly of the Beast. The largest AG school, Texas A&M is full of future farmers… the most important place to spread awareness about the wrong doings of Monsanto.
Occupy Sydney goes on a Candle Light Vigil in Support of #F27 - Occupy your Food Supply Day.
Had a great time talking to people about the various breads I made for my action. The main objective was to show people that they can make store bought quality breads at home easily and cheaply. There should definitely be free bread making workshops held in which people bring the basic ingredients and walk home with a loaf or two of bread.
