Organizers cheer, saying the voices raised against genetically modified foods and giveaways to biotech giants were heard
- Jacob Chamberlain, staff writer
An amendment dubbed the "Monsanto Protection Act," which currently
allows large agriculture and biotech corporations to ignore court orders
involving the safety of genetically modified seeds, has been stripped
from Senate's spending bill that could be voted on as early as Wednesday
afternoon.
Following an organized campaign against the provision in recent months, its removal was being
cheered by food safety and environmental activists as a victory.
