Did you see Food, Inc? :: The Obama Administration wants to Hear from You

The US Department of Justice is investigating how big biotech and food corporations, including Monsanto, are monopolizing and controlling our seeds, food and farming.

They would would like to hear from you - particularly regarding how corporate control of the food system affects average Americans.

Email Subject Line: Comments Regarding Agriculture and Antitrust Enforcement Issues in Our 21st Century Economy

Dear US Department of Justice:

State who you are -- parent, teacher, farmer, cook, gardener, community leader, eater... whatever feels relevant.

I am concerned about the consolidation of corporate power in the food and agriculture sector.

State your primary reasons why. This section can be short and informal; don’t worry about spelling out the connections too precisely. The important thing is to express from your own experience what most concerns you or how you've been affected by the effects of corporate consolidation in the food industry. Be honest and speak from your heart.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments.

Sincerely,
Your name
