Waving signs that read "Hell no, GMO" and "Monsanto - True Evil," hundreds of protesters gathered in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday to demonstrate against genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the companies that produce them. Despite a growing consensus from major scientific organizations that there is no harm associated with GMOs, those that turned out remained firm in their belief that genetically engineered food is dangerous and rejected contrary views as "lies" or simply the product of scientists bought off by the industry.
Reason TV visited the "March Against Monsanto" rally to find out what the protesters hoped to accomplish and why they continued to reject the prevailing pro-GMO science.
About 5 minutes.
Filmed and Edited by Sharif Matar and Patrick Bowers.
