What do you really know about Franken Foods (GMO) foods? Do you believe they will 'feed the world' or that they are safe? Why has Europe, Canada, and dozens of other countries banned genetically modified foods? Why are these foods sold unlabeled in US grocery stores?
Did you know that new genetically engineered plants now have little pesticide "spray bottles" inside the plant so you can't clean the plant? Wash it all you want before you slice it up, the chemical is intrinsically combined inside the plant, which when eaten by you, goes directly into your gut.
What happens from there?
Do you really want to know?
In several studies there were noted changes in virtually every organ in animal systems: toxicity from genetically modified soy created dysfunctional changes in embryos, testicles, liver, pancreas, digestive system, and birth weight. The DNA in offspring of of animals that ate GMO foods, functioned differently, suggesting these changes combine with the genome and are passed on to future generations.
Thousands of farm workers in India, harvesting Bt cotton are complaining of allergic injuries. An estimated 200,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide from debt incurred from promised increased yields that never materialized. Animals that graze on these plants sicken or die, by the thousands. There is evidence of sterility in animals fed GMO plants.
The same company making GMOs and calls them "safe" is the same company that created Agent Orange and called it "safe." Monsanto does not want you to know that there are genetically modified hormones in your milk (bovine growth hormone), or Bt pesticide in your grains. They have placed their operatives in regulatory agencies throughout the world so their applications get approved without safety studies.
Monsanto has convinced the FDA that there is no difference between milk with or without rBGH (growth hormone) even though FDA's own studies showed otherwise. Cows develop mastitis, pass the infection into the milk, die sooner, and human cancer risk rises for both the breast and the prostate (due to high levels of IGF-1 in the altered milk).
It is interesting to note that breast cancer used to be 1 in 20 fifty years ago. Now it is 1 in 8. Since the 1950s, pesticides and growth hormones were both added to the food supply.
Don't take my word for it. Listen to the interview with Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of Deception, at the widget at the end of the article.
The good news is that when you educate yourself and speak out with your pocketbook, you can change the world. Your efforts have already caused Wal-Mart, Starbucks, and other businesses to remove rBGH from their offerings. Suppressing market share works. Money speaks.
