What the petition asks

There is ample evidence that shows herbicides and pesticides used in conventional farming cause cancer.

People have the right to live a healthy life and starting with organic fruit and veg is essential.

Working class families simply cannot afford to go organic because it is so expensive

Independent bodies conclude herbicides can cause cancer, only bodies financially backed by industry deny it http://www.nature.com/news/debate-rages-over-herbicide-s-cancer-risk-1.18794

1 in 2 people in the UK will develop cancer (Cancer Research UK). This appauling figure should and can be reduced. And starting with organic healthy eating is the first step in this battle. http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-us/cancer-news/press-release/2015-02-04-1-in-2-people-in-the-uk-will-get-cancer
