Monsanto protesters arrested, GMO shareholder resolutions fail : Business

Monsanto protesters arrested, GMO shareholder resolutions fail : Business:



The latest effort by activists targeting Monsanto’s genetic seed work resulted Tuesday in a pair of defeated shareholder resolutions and nearly a dozen arrests outside the company’s Creve Coeur headquarters.
Around 40 protesters, bundled up against frigid temperatures, spent more than three hours at Monsanto’s entrance during the company’s annual shareholder meeting.

They sang, danced and waved signs at passing traffic. And they talked about their hopes for a new resolution that would have required the company to work with the Food and Drug Administration to label food containing genetically modified ingredients.
