Yesterday, people in 400 cities around the world took to the streets to protest against Monsanto, the leading company of fundamental reform, oppressing farmers and polluting the environment, and Taiwan was not left behind. For the first time, the Housewives' Union Environmental Protection Foundation joined the north, central and south, and held an anti-basic reform parade in Caowu Road in Taichung City. The northern field passed by the mansion business circle from National Taiwan University, chanting "fundamental change signs, come out quickly" and "fundamental change to zero, parent-child win-win" along the road. The Ministry of Health and Welfare is required to clearly mark whether the salad oil is reformed or not, and take out a signed letter on the spot, asking Gizaidou to withdraw from the campus to protect the health of the next generation.

The Ministry of Weifu is required to extend the label to salad oil.

Monsanto of the United States, the largest genetically modified seed in the world, used patent rights to force farmers to buy high-priced seeds with herbicide-resistant genes, telling farmers that they could unscrupulously spray pesticides to kill weeds, and then sell herbicides on the one hand, and use funds to lobby governments of various countries to relax genetic change marking laws; Agent Orange, a notorious biochemical weapon during the Vietnam War, was also their product.

Last year, an unbearable housewife in the United States launched the "Anti-Monsanto March" (March Against Monsanto) around the world for the health of her two daughters, which received enthusiastic response. On May 22nd, more than 2 million people around the world took to the streets to respond. On October 22nd last year, the World Food Day marched again the week before.

Last year, only people in Taiwan spontaneously preached in Taichung, but this year they were not absent. The Housewives' Union Foundation held small parades in Taipei and Taichung, while Tainan responded with Facebook tapes. Yesterday morning in Taipei, a mother, with her child, held high the banner of "We support non-fundamental reform" in the scorching sun and distributed red "GMO FREE" stickers along the mansion business district to invite the public to join. Although there were only 30 people in the team, there were a lot of slogans all the way, which aroused people's curiosity to take pictures, and some people gave a thumbs-up praise on the spot.
