SAY NO TO GMO FOOD - Get Informed to Genetically Modified Food & Awake the Masses
During
Saturday's "A Healthy You & Carol Alt," a new half-hour Fox News
show covering health and wellness, organic health commentator Max
Goldberg joined the program to break down what may be one of the most
hard-hitting GMO reports ever aired by the mainstream media.
"No
long-term studies have ever been done on humans, but when you look at
the studies that have been done on animals, it's pretty appalling,"
Goldberg said. lab rat
In 2010, Russian biologist Alexey V. Surov
released the results of a study testing the effects of Monsanto's
genetically modified soy on hamsters. After monitoring three generations
over a two year period, third generation hamsters not only lost the
ability to reproduce, but even began growing hair inside their mouths.
"The
real big issue in our country Carol, is that genetically modified
food's are not labeled, so people do not know that they are eating
genetically modified foods. Over 60 countries around the world require
GMOs to be labeled but the US does not," Goldberg added. "And why is
that? According to the Food & Water Watch, the Ag-Bio tech industry,
which owns all these GMOs, has spent $572 million on campaign
contributions and lobbying to make sure that they don't get labeled."
The
claim by the biotech industry that GMO crops can be contained and kept
away from organic farmers who have chosen not to use genetically
modified 'suicide' seeds is being proven grossly fallacious. A third of
organic growers are now reporting problems with cross contamination,
according to a new survey. More than 80% of farmers who participated in
the survey are 'concerned' about the impact of genetic seeds, and 60%
are 'very concerned.'
One farmer pointed out that the biotech industry has excessive influence in political circles.

Monsanto's
massive campaign to defeat your very right to know what's in your food
has been backed by over $22 million in corporate funding from sources
like DuPont and Bayer, but the reality is that these corrupt corporate
monopolies are fighting just to survive within the world's food supply.
Perhaps
most amazing to me is the fact that just $550 of the $22 million
donated to fighting the GMO labeling initiative actually came from
Washington citizens. To put that into perspective, that's around .0025%
of the total finances. The rest, actually came from the Grocery
Manufacturers Association, Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer, Dow AgroSciences
and Bayer CropScience — the same corporations who are actively
dominating the food supply with all forms of genetically modified
varieties.
Even if you aren't opposed to genetically modified
crops (with all this information, how couldn't you be) and even if you
like Bill Gates and his ventures (but with all this information, how
could you), this latest should be enough to get you perturbed. And if
you are anti-GMO and knowledgeable of the shady and questionable ways of
the Gates Foundation, this latest story out of Africa will truly make
your blood boil.
According to a recent statement from the African
Centre for Biosafety (ACB), failed GM corn from Monsanto is now being
pushed on African countries with help from the Gates Foundation. This
maize, known as MON810, has been grown in South Africa for 15 years,
where it "failed miserably". But so as not to call the seed a complete
waste, Monsanto and Bill Gates are now pushing it into countries like
Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya—countries that need agricultural
help. bees
