“The free market capitalist paradigm brags that it has given us freedom of choice, but in reality it has given us only the illusion of choice – a narrow set of options contained within a limited framework that is dictated not by the people but by powerful corporations. 

True freedom and true choice means freedom to choose alternatives to this paradigm – freedom to grow food organically, to save indigenous seeds, to eat food that nourishes our bodies, society and environment. Free market capitalism does not guarantee this freedom; this freedom is what we are fighting for.”
