MONSANTO ~ EVERYTHING ABOUT GMO'S

Two mice, same litter; it is not too difficult to determine the mouse raised on GMO grains.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT HEALTH AND YOUR BODY AND MONSANTO'S INSIDIOUS GMO ALTERED FOODS, PLEASE WATCH THIS FILM. IT IS FULL OF INFORMATION AND YOU CANNOT HELP BUT LEARN NEW THINGS ABOUT GMO'S.

Crops genetically modified to have reduced susceptibility to pests are promoted as a solution to low food yields in developing countries. The agrobusiness finds it easier to control the placement of crops around the globe. Needless to say, the motive of these promoters is profit, not altruism. In most cases, there is a considerable application of force to turn farmers from traditions that are thousands of years old.

Monsanto, the largest developers of genetically modified crops, has developed a grain that gives an improved crop and is sterile, so instead of keeping back some seeds for the next year's sowing, farmers must return to the supplier for more at prohibitive prices leaving him frequently in debt within a year or two to the giant.


The health costs of ingesting GMOs are horrendous for humans, animals and the environment with the potential of altering genetic make up permanently of all living things.

Animals offered choice of GMO foods or natural produce will refuse the GMO. Every time. This has been tested on mice, rats, cattle, squirrels, cattle, horses, any animal that eats grain and the results have been 100% consistent.

Animals left no choice and forced to eat GMO, develop serious problems and many died, some sickening within hours, being dead within 24. This has happened to cattle in India and also a large herd of sheep who stumbled across a field and ate growing produce tainted with gmo.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in your food may make you sick. Studies link GMOs with toxins, allergies, infertility, infant mortality, immune dysfunction, stunted growth, accelerated aging, and death, increased propensity for Parkinson's Disease.

Whistle blowers were fired, threatened, and gagged.

But then you find someone like expert Jeffrey M. Smith, author of the #1 GMO bestseller Seeds of Deception, and Genetic Roulette, who will entertain wildly appreciative audiences with shocking facts about how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) entered our lives.

In the hour long film below, Smith links GMO to toxins, allergies, infertility, infant mortality, immune dysfunction, stunted growth, and death. Smith cheerfully takes on these matters that have resulted in whistle blowers being fired, threatened, and gagged, and warnings by FDA scientists were ignored.

Jeffrey has a plan and it is a very doable plan. No joking it is a very possible plan to get this crap out of our food systems. Start today to protect yourself by joining the Campaign for Healthier Eating in America ~ a plan that gives the consumer the power to end the genetic engineering of our food supply.



HOW TO AVOID BRANDS MADE
WITH GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMOs)

TIP #1. BUY ORGANIC

WHAT IS ORGANIC?

Current USDA regulations allow food products that contain 95-100% certified organic ingredients to use the USDA Organic seal. These regulations:

Prohibit the use of chemical fertilizers, various synthetic substances, irradiation, sewage sludge, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in organic production.

Prohibit antibiotic and synthetic hormone use in organic meat and poultry.

Require 100% organic feed for organic livestock.

When the product is labeled “100% organic,” “organic,” or just “made with organic ingredients,” then even the non-organic ingredients cannot be produced from GMOs. For example, products labeled as “made with organic ingredients” only require 70% of the ingredients to be organic, but 100% must be non-GMO.

Why buy Organic?

It’s about safety for both the environment . . . and for you. Concerns about “health, their community, and the environment inspire approximately three million consumers to buy organic foods in the United States.”

While synthetic pesticides used in conventional farming may initially hit their targets, over time they become less effective, and pest populations can develop resistance to these chemicals. What follows, is a cycle of increased pesticide applications without increased yields, and the development of even more powerful pesticides that run ahead of the EPA's ability to study and regulate their use.

Organic pest control methods and the promotion of organically built soils that produce resilient plants with their own natural defenses against insects, fungus and disease, is a safer path. If you add the mounting evidence of widespread damage to and contamination of food, water, soil, and air, along with diminished wildlife, and soil erosion, it’s easy to see why it’s so important to buy food displaying the USDA Organic seal.

Organic dairy farmers and ranchers use pure water, quality feed, fresh air, and healthy pastures, to make sure their organically raised animals grow at their own natural pace, without artificial growth hormones. The “use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones, and genetically modified organisms to intensify production in conventional agriculture practices which give rise to serious health questions," ** are excluded from their operations.


Buying locally...and supporting community?

A commitment to choosing locally produced foods is also at the heart of the organic movement. In addition to fresher foods and reduced fossil fuel consumption, the dollars you spend at a farmer’s are much more likely to find their way back into your community. Local growers thrive and you thrive on more nutritious, and better tasting food!

Using the Non-GMO Shopping Guide makes it easy to find Organic (non-GMO) products in your store? When you use the online or printed version of the Non-GMO Shopping Guide when you shop, you are a part of the next big consumer tidal wave rising to protect our nation’s food supply. Your purchasing power, combined with the purchasing power of the tens of millions of other health-conscious shoppers has a powerful and positive influence in shaping our choices in the consumer marketplace.

TIP #2. LOOK FOR NON GMO FOODS


Companies may voluntarily label products as "non-GMO." Some labels state "non-GMO" while others spell out "Made Without Genetically Modified Ingredients." Products that carry the Non-GMO Project Seal have third party verification as being in compliance with Non-GMO Project standards for GMO avoidance. Some products limit their claim to only one particular “At-Risk” ingredient such as soy lecithin, listing it as “non-GMO.” Look for dairy products labeled "No rBGH or rBST,” or “artificial hormone-free.”

TIP #3: AVOID AT-RISK INGREDIENTS

If it's not labeled organic, avoid products made with the "Big Four" GM crops: Corn, Soybeans, Canola, and Cottonseed, used in processed foods.

Also, more than 50% of Hawaiian papaya is GM and a small amount of zucchini and yellow squash. Also, become familiar with our list of invisible GM ingredients and avoid sugar from GM Sugar Beets.

Avoid the 4 At-Risk Ingredients: Corn, Soybeans, Canola and Cotton
Corn
• Corn flour, meal, oil, starch, gluten, and syrups
• Sweeteners such as fructose, dextrose, and glucose
• Modified food starch*

Soy

• Soy flour, lecithin, protein, isolate, and isoflavone
• Vegetable oil* and vegetable protein*

Canola
Canola oil (also called rapeseed oil)

Cotton Cottonseed oil

Sugar Avoid anything not listed as 100% cane sugar. GM beet sugar recently entered the food supply. To avoid it, look for organic and non-GMO sweeteners, candy and chocolate made with 100% cane sugar, evaporated cane juice or organic sugar.

Aspartame The artificial sweetener also known as NutraSweet and Equal, which is derived from GM microorganisms.

TIP #4: DOWNLOAD THE SHOPPING GUIDE

Use it when you write out your shopping list. Keep it with you whenever you shop and buy products listed in the Guide. Store it inside your reusable shopping bag, put in your coupon holder or checkbook, or leave it in your car.

  1. The capital letters on everything is a bit annoying, but aside from that; great site; very informative. I used to be obsessed about reading packages. Now life is much easier; if it comes in a box, I probably have no interest in it. If it's conventional, I don't want it. And I prefer it if I grew it myself or if it's a local heirloom plant or weed growing nearby. It saves a lot of time and money and excess effort to live this way, and headaches, insomnia, excessive burping, belly-fat and so forth just melt out of your life. Perhaps it's something you'd be interested in looking into too. :) ~Raederle Phoenix
