Monsanto might not care what we think -- but as a public-facing company, Starbucks does, Young wrote. If we can generate enough attention, we can push Starbucks to withdraw its support for the lawsuit, and then pressure other companies to do the same. Considering that Starbucks has been progressive on LGBT and labor issues in the past, its disappointing that it is working with the biggest villain of them all, Monsanto, he continued. Theres much more at stake here than just whether GMO foods will be labeled in a single U.S. state. Vermont is the very first state in the U.S. to require labeling. Dozens of other states have said that they will follow this path -- in order to encourage this, we need to ensure that Vermonts law stands strong. Young closed his note by directing fans to the website of the organization SumOfUs to donate or sign a petition, and asking them to pressure and call out members of the Grocery Manufacturers Association. This isnt the only recent instance of Neil Young rallying fans to join him in a boycott on environmental grounds. Back in August, he explained his reasons eschewing non-organic cotton and urged fans to do the same.
