Protest set against genetically modified organisms in food (2011)

Protest set against genetically modified organisms in food 

A second street-side rally against genetically modified organisms in food — this time in conjunction with rallies, forums and gatherings worldwide on World Food Day — takes place in downtown Sequim on Sunday.

The GMO Awareness Group of Sequim, which drew about 100 to its last informational rally in March, will host the Sunday rally from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the parking lot on the northeast corner of Washington Street and Sequim Avenue.

The Garden Bistro & Bakery is sponsoring the rally site.

The goal is to raise awareness about genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, in the food supply and to protest the idea that GMOs are a safe technology that will feed the world.
