Teenager Activist Attacked by Monsanto Watchdogs

When Rachel Parent, 14, founded Kids Right To Know, a not for profit organization about awareness of GMOs, little did she know she’d soon become a target on the Monsanto radar.

Rachel Parent, a teenager who began to investigate the nature of GMO products and actively pursuing labeling for all GMO products in America, has realized like many others, that GMO labeling isn’t just about health, but about freedom of choice. The domino affect of GMO production on our environment has become a self confessed source of anger that she now draws on for her strength and resilience while trying to educate the masses.

Parent’s Kids Right To Know aims specifically to inform the younger generations, arming them with information that Monsanto and the U.S. agrichemical lobby prefer to keep hidden. According to Global News the lobby has targeted the Canadian teen and her organization as part of an “increasingly nasty and divisive public relations war over GMOs.”

According to information released under the Freedom of Information, thousands of documents have been discovered conspiring ways to discredit and attack Parent and her message. Gary Ruskin, the co-director of Right To Know (USRTK) has told Global News that she is clearly a threat to Monsanto. “The agrichemical industry is plainly quite threatened by this teenage schoolgirl, so that’s why they’re after her.”

In a time when a poll conducted has revealed that almost 90 percent of Americans want mandatory labeling on GMO foods, Monsanto have reportedly acquired support from University of Florida professor Kevin Folta, to debunk her claims.

Kevin Folta received a $25,000 grant, and paid trips from Monsanto

Folta claims on a video discussing Parent’s activism that:

“So when I think about answering Rachel Parent, who’s the activist child – well, young woman – who’s running the website ‘Kids Right to Know…The things I just adore about Rachel is that she’s clearly very articulate, clearly intelligent,” Folta said.

“The problem that I have is when Rachel starts to let non-scientific thinking really kind of cloud her final decision-making process.”
