Genetically Modified FoodMarilyn Vine brings information on Genetically Modified Foods (GMO). The more I read the more I become concerned about the effects of GMOs on both the human body and our animals. Animal have an innate instinct to know what not to eat and there are many animals that are refusing to eat the genetically modified foods that they are being fed and in particular GMO corn. (second YouTube). How to stop Monsanto and GMO' On 7 December 2011 an email was received from Jeffrey Smith. In this email Jeffrey spoke to an audience and told them how they could stop genetically modified foods in their track! He is also asking for assistance in the way of donation so that more people can be employed in getting this important message out to the people. Are you able to help in anyway? It doesn’t necessarily need to be financial assistance but just help in getting the message out and boycotting the companies/products that are using genetically modified foods? If enough people take up the cudgel then it could spell the end for Monsanto and their diabolical monopoly over human and animal food chain. Please take the time to read this simple request. Genetically Modified Foods page brings an article from NaturalNews dated 14 February 2012 with regards to deformities being found in umbilical cords of babies. This is a very important article and one which I hope you will read and pass on to expectant mothers for the sake of their babies and our future. Australian farmers if you watch this please contact the Australian Government and stop their current wheat program before it is too late! Watch the YouTube and see for yourself: FOUR NEW YOUTUBES! How GMOs turn your babies into medical experiments
Jeffrey Smith has been speaking out about GMOs for sometime now and a great deal of his information has either been provided in NaturalNews by Mike Adams or in Dr Mercola’s newsletter. Down below the bookmark are two new articles from Jeffrey Smith posted in April 2011 and an even more disturbing one from August 2011. In a recent NaturalNews article on the Wikileaks cable of the US Ambassador to France (see below the bookmark for US Ambassador to France) Mike Adams had this to say: ”The global GMO conspiracy is no longer a theory.Need we say anything more? This cable proves, once and for all, that there is a global GMO conspiracy where government operatives work in secret to push Monsanto's GMO agenda while punishing opponents of GMOs and adding them to a "target retaliation list." “This cable also proves that NaturalNews has been right all along about the GMO conspiracy, and that GMO opponents such as Jeffrey Smith are battling what can only be called an evil conspiracy to control the world's food supply. It also proves that when Alex Jones talks about the global conspiracy to control the world food supply, he's not just ranting. He's warning about the reality of the world in which we now live.” As Jeffery Smith said today in a Democracy Now interview: "We’ve been saying for years that the United States government is joined at the hip with Monsanto and pushing GMOs as part of Monsanto’s agenda on the rest of the world. This lays bare the mechanics of that effort. We have Craig Stapleton, the former ambassador to France, specifically asking the U.S. government to retaliate and cause some harm throughout the European Union." Read the full article. . Unfortunately the link for this article has been removed. If you search the Democracynow.org website and look under Wikileaks you will find the story dated 23 December 2010 and they say that the full transcript is available, but I could not find it.[13 January 2011] NaturalNews dated 26 November 2011 about BASF once again trying to get the European Union to allow genetically modified potato for human consumption to be released into Europe. Europeans are much more particular about the foods they eat than Western countries appear to be. Will the EU cave into these demands and legalize their production? Read what is going on. On 30 September 2011 I received an email from Jeffery Smith outlining the courageous actions of one woman to get Non GMO labeling on food. The momentum has grown and now covers more States in America. It has been put on the tickets of candidates and if enough of you take up the cry the major suppliers of your food will cease selling genetically modified goods as it will be “hitting their bottom line” and no retailer likes that! Read the article and check out the different sites on how you, as an individual, can help defeat genetically modified foods! On 11 August 2011 Boulder Weekly brings us a story of genetically modified foods with regards to plants and animals where scientists are seeing new, alarming patterns emerging. On 23 July 2011 NaturalNews advised that every crop field in Hungary that had been planted with genetically modified corn fields had been plowed in. Hungarian authorities are working hard to prevent GMO seeds being planted in the country. I will post all new articles that I come across under this bookmark.
Once again in a Spilling the Beans Newsletter from Jeffery Smith dated July 2011 we learn that the pesticide industry and Monsanto knew way back in the 1980s that Roundup was causing birth defects. In Jeffrey Smith’s newsletter for August 2011 read about how the USDA has just walked away from its responsibilities. Dr Mercola on 5 July 2011 the following information. I wonder just how much influence these payments had on the decision of USDA, FDA and EPA to walk away from their responsibilities!! ”The Monsanto Company spent $1.4 million to lobby the federal government just in the first quarter of 2011, according to a recent disclosure report. That's still less than the $2.5 million Monsanto spent in a single three month period only a year earlier. The company primarily lobbied Congress and the U.S. Department of Agriculture concerning regulations that would affect genetically engineered crops such as the company's Roundup Ready soybeans and alfalfa.According to CNBC: "The company also lobbied Congress and USDA on issues surrounding consolidation and antitrust law in agriculture ... The company also lobbied the U.S. Trade Representative and Department of State on issues surrounding foreign regulation and trade of biotech seeds." Read the full article. Another Monsanto and Bill Gates invention! In an article dated 21 June 2011 Dr Mercola brings information on a new genetically modified food – Golden Rice! He tells us that: ”Sarojeni V. Rengam, executive director of Pesticide Action Network Asia and the Pacific (PAN AP), has called the rice a "Trojan horse." According to Rengam, the rice is "... a public relations stunt pulled by the agri-business corporations to garner acceptance of GE crops and food. The whole idea of GE seeds is to make money." Read more about this. On 28 May 2011 Jeffrey Smith brings us a report called ”Dangerous Toxins from Genetically Modified Plants Found in Women and Fetuses” This report goes on to say the following: ”When U.S. regulators approved Monsanto's genetically modified "Bt" corn, they knew it would add a deadly poison into our food supply. That's what it was designed to do. The corn's DNA is equipped with a gene from soil bacteria called Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) that produces the Bt-toxin. It's a pesticide; it breaks open the stomach of certain insects and kills them. But Monsanto and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) swore up and down that it was only insects that would be hurt. The Bt-toxin, they claimed, would be completely destroyed in the human digestive system and not have any impact on all of us trusting corn-eating consumers. Oops. A study just proved them wrong. Doctors at Sherbrooke University Hospital in Quebec found the corn's Bt-toxin in the blood of pregnant women and their babies, as well as in non-pregnant women. (Specifically, the toxin was identified in 93% of 30 pregnant women, 80% of umbilical blood in their babies, and 67% of 39 non-pregnant women.) The study has been accepted for publication in the peer reviewed journal Reproductive Toxicoloxy. According to the UK Daily Mail, this study, which "appears to blow a hole in" safety claims, "has triggered calls for a ban on imports and a total overhaul of the safety regime for genetically modified (GM) crops and food." Organizations from England to New Zealand are now calling for investigations and for GM crops to be halted due to the serious implications of this finding.” This is an important report and covers allergies and diseases and if you are interested in your health at all, this is a must read. Here we have information dated 28 May 2011 on more genetically modified foods being planted without any research with regard to the harm that may be caused to the human or animal population or what impact it will have on the environment. This time it is a different type of genetically modified potato called Amflora. Read the article to find out what is going on. Until such time as whole countries start to rise up and revolt against these types of actions they will continue to happen and the sad thing is that once they have been implanted and they cause the problems there is no turning back from them. Just another cross we all have to bear! On 20 May 2011 Dr Mercola brings the news that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is abrogating its control over the testing of genetically modified food’s impact on the environment. Instead it is handing this control over to the very companies, e.g. Monsanto, who are the perpetrators of these GMOs to conduct quality research on the impact that these GMOs have on the environment. When they have conducted their research they will come back to the USDA to make the final decision. Why would any company or contractor provide information that could get their product banned? We just have to look back at the testing on aspartame to know the answer! I believe that every American and even people from other countries should be reading this full article and writing to the USDA voicing their concerns that it is not doing its job in protecting both people and the environment. Sometimes we have world events like the BP Oil Spill and the Fukushima Meltdown and we think that the end results are catastrophic for the world, but there are other more insidious things that are quietly taking place and generally the everyday-man-on-the-street does not realize the deadly implications. Take the time and watch this 2 minute YouTube from Alex Bogusky. Also click on the links below to learn more about the BP Oil Spill and the latest news on Fukushima. CAP THE GENE SPILL from NO GMO on Vimeo. NaturalNews on 4 April 2011 brings information from a recent study that was published in Environmental International Journal where the quality of studies is being questioned. What are genetically modified foods doing to our kidney and liver? On 7 April 2011 Jeffrey Smith published a paper on ”GMOs linked to organ disruption in 19 studies”. This study is on consuming GM corn or soybeans and is well worth your time to read. Many scientists are being victimized and even losing their positions due to speaking out about genetically modified foods. Jeffrey Smith in November 2010 submitted an application to the French Courts in support of Professor Serralini. Read about Professor Serralini and other scientists throughout the world who have been victimized for their actions. 24 March 2011 NaturalNews brings information on growers across Ohio deliberately plant non-GMO seed for organic products or for other products explicitly certified as GMO-free. For example, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's only use explicitly non-GMO products for their in-store brands. Because so many Ohio growers depend upon certified non-GMO seed for their livelihood, concern is growing in the state about genetic contamination. On 18 March 2011 we have scientists who are whistle blowing: “Despite all the equivocating about GMOs' "potential" dangers and begging for more research, which is restricted by patent laws, the facts are in. GMOs are very problematic for human health, as indicated by whistle blowing scientists. The whistle blowers revealed that the primary gene for promoting transgenic events in GMOs is a virus known as CaMV 35S. It remains as-is in our guts and keeps on promoting transgenic events with our intestinal flora. Intestinal flora or friendly bacteria are a very large part of our immune systems.” On 11 February 2011 the Irish Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Brendan Smith: "confirmed that Ireland has altered its voting position and will support a number of proposals from the EU Commission aimed at authorizing the placing on the market of food, food ingredients and feed containing, consisting of, or produced from genetically modified maize and cotton. Ireland will also support EU Commission proposals to introduce a tolerance for the low level presence of, as yet, unauthorized GM varieties in imports of animal feed." A recent MSNBC Health Poll that asked the question, "Do you believe genetically modified foods should be labeled?" concluded with overwhelming public support for transparency in food labeling. Nearly 90 percent of respondents, representing more than 9,000 votes, answered "Yes. It's an ethical issue -- consumers should be informed so they can make a choice." When a poll shows that 89% of people polled wanted GM foods labeled and the USDA totally ignores this - then you would have to ask – who is yielding the power over the USDA to make it act totally against the wishes of the people? Read the article: On 16 February 2011 we are advised that the USDA has allowed yet another genetically modified food to be released, i.e. sugarbeet. First we had alfalfa with absolutely no restrictions and now sugarbeet with limitations placed on it. Soon there will be no “natural” foods left in the world for anyone to eat. More and more we are eating genetically modified foods! We are hearing all the time of expected food shortages and here we have food being engineered to become fuel! On 16 February 2011 we learn that the USDA has now completely deregulated genetically engineered corn to be used for ethanol production. Genetically Modified Foods page on 11 February 2011 learned that Mexican officials seem to have more common sense than American officials. Mexico maintains their moratorium on Monsanto’s GM corn. Here we have an article from NaturalNews dated 5 February 2011 advising that the European Commission’s lobbying is seeking to open the floodgates wide for imported genetically modified foods. New organisms are being found and are being linked to genetically modified foods! What is going to happen to us all once GMOs completely take over from nature? No one knows! And to me, Marilyn Vine, that is the really sad part of this whole saga! Read the article. Genetically Modified Foods Page brings yet another story on GM mosquitoes being released – this time in Malaysia. One of the disturbing aspects of this information is these comments: “ But simply wiping out an entire species may cause more harm than good, say opponents. If the offending mosquitoes are completely eliminated, they may simply be replaced in the ecosystem with another harmful species. And since little is know about the chain-reaction of events that may occur as a result, the project is really nothing more than a giant, untested experiment that cannot be reversed. Unbeknownst to most people, mosquitoes are actually very important pollinators. They are also a food source for other species like birds and bats, some of which also play a vital role in agriculture. In other words, without mosquitoes, the food chain as we know it would cease to exist.” Read the article Mike Adams brings information on 25 January 2011 of the pushers for genetically modified foods misusing this terminology. They would like us to be gullible and believe what they are saying! Now I learn on 24 January 2011 that they have a genetically modified, oil-eating bacteria which is now creating dangerous mutant organisms in the Gulf of Mexico. Mike Adams, of NaturalNews brings us information dated 24 January 2011 where anyone who opposes genetically modified foods is labeled as “unscientific”. “This effort to characterize GMO opposition as "unscientific" is just the latest outlandish spin campaign that attempts to reframe the entire GMO debate as "scientific versus unscientific." You're either in favor of GMOs, the twisted logic goes, or you're against science! In reality, it's not actually science that's behind GMOs but rather corporate greed, public relations, lobbying and the financial influence of members of Congress. Today, Frank Lucas, Saxby Chambliss and Pat Roberts all effectively painted signs on their foreheads that read, "GMO sellout." On 19 January 2011 I received information on three new pieces of legislation that are set to be presented to the 11th Congress. The three bills would mandate GMO labeling, require proper GMO safety testing, eliminate seed patenting, increase rights and protections to farmers, and administer full liability to biotechnology companies for damaged caused by genetically modified foods. Kuchinichs Efforts I keep asking myself why is it so important to the American Government to push genetically modified foods onto the rest of the world. Here is an article dated 10 December 2010 advising of the US Government’s push for genetically modified foods in Africa. Genetically modified food page brings you news dated 12 January 2011 from the Philippines where the people of the town forced the local University of Philippines at Mindanao (UP) to uproot a field of genetically modified eggplant. Genetically Modified Food page brings information on corn plants genetically modified to produce pesticides in their tissues are contaminating water supplies across the US MidWest. A survey was carried out between 5-9 January 2011 on different corporations and Monsanto gained a whopping 51% of the votes! NaturalNews on 28 January 2011 brings information from leaked reports that is saying that the Catholic Church supports genetically modified foods. Why is a religious organization getting involved in genetically modified foods? What do they have to gain? Mike Adams advises on 28 January 2011 that the USDA has deregulated the use of genetically modified alfalfa with no restrictions being placed on its use! I am not from a scientific background but even to me this action seems to be absolutely insane. Please read the article below and make your own decision what you do or do not do. But me for one, if I lived in the United States, would be contacting my member of parliament and putting in a very strong protest. As it is I will be sending this article through to my Australian Member of Parliament as this action by the USDA of America is going to impact on the food that I buy here in Australia! I will be telling my friends and as many people as I can contact to avoid eating any produce either vegetable or meat that comes from the United States of America – the reason being that it is very likely to be poisoned! Jeffery Smith on 28 January 2011 gives us disturbing information on the effect that this pesticide is having on our health and environment.
Roundup Triggers Over 40 Plant Diseases
Genetically modified foods page brings you information from the “so called experts” that we should stop our moralizing and just get on with growing genetically modified foods otherwise we are all going to suffer huge food shortages. Well food shortages are not the only thing that the world will suffer if they get their way! Many, many people and animals are going to become very unhealthy and probably die! Read what they are trying to push through now. Genetically Modified Foods page brings information from Mike Adams dated 5 January 2011 where we learn that Monsanto has been using genetically modified bacteria to create Aspartame! I could understand work being undertaken to genetically modify mosquitoes to perhaps make them infertile so that in time there are no more mosquitoes especially when you know the number of deadly diseases that they can infect people with. BUT I draw the line at genetically modifying mosquitoes with a vaccine so that when they bite you they vaccinate you! What is to stop them from changing this modification from vaccination to actually infecting you with a virus! Bill Gates and Monsanto are playing with all our lives and where are our Governments in the protection of the people! News of the World brings you information from Jeffrey in October 2010 with regard to a number of scientists around the world who have undertaken studies on genetically modified foods and found that there are health risks involved with both people and animals consuming these foods. Please click on the link and read the article and then click on the next link and read the article from Dr Arpad Pusztai on GM potatoes. It would be appreciated, if you agree with the contents of this Genetically Modified Food page, if you would pass the link across to your friends so that they too may be warned on the dangers of consuming genetically modified foods.
