I am no expert on GM Foods or GMOs, but I don know that after reading parts of ‘Seeds of Deception’ and ‘Generic Roulette’, both by Jeffrey Smith, I am madder than hell and I for one am not going to take it anymore!
Did you know that the FDA said that GM Foods were safe way back in the early 1990 without ANY TRULY SCIENTIFIC TESTING? They basically just took the word of the BioTech companies.
Did you know that these foods and foods containing GMOs have been on the shelf since just after that FDA ruling?
Did you know that 89% of the soy crop is GM in the U.S.? Soy in some form is in virtually everything…
Did you know that 60% of the corn crop is GM in the U.S.? Look at your labels, does it say high fructose corn syrup or any other type of corn derivative…well you just bought a GM Food!
Did you know that 75% of the Canola crop in the U.S. is GM? When was the last time you noticed something without canola oil in you processed food?
Did you know that 50% of the Hawaiian papaya crop is GM?
Did you know that dairy cows injected with rbGH mean you are getting GM in your dairy products?
Did you know that the Food Industry continues to dilute the Organic Food standards so that they can use less than organic inputs into their products? This folks mean business, SHOULDN’T WE?
Did you know that Congress has not required ANY COMPANY TO LABEL THEIR PRODUCTS AS CONTAINING GM FOODS OR GMO INGREDIENTS? We will never know what we are eating! Only products labeled as Organic or Non-GMO, cannot knowingly use GM Foods or GMO ingredients.
Did you know that NO ONE BUT THE POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS WORLDWIDE knew that this was happening until 1999, when the news broke in a somewhat sensational way in the UK?
Did you know that Monsanto is on the record as wanting to ‘patent or copyright’ all seeds so that everyone worldwide would have to come to them to grow food crops?
Did you know that there is now DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE that GM crops can cause illnesses and could cause as yet unidentified health conditions and could also be responsible for a number of ‘epidemic’ conditions in our country, not to mention other countries worldwide, today?
Did you know that at least one ‘health condition’ has been directly linked to a GM Product here in the U.S.?
Have you asked yourself why this information is NOT in the news and more importantly WHY WE THE PEOPLE AREN’T MAD AS HELL ABOUT IT, THE JUMPING UP AND DOWN KIND OF MAD, and putting our representatives; school boards, local, state and federal representatives, that this is going to change and change right now?Not wanting to sound like some ‘crazy conspiracy theorist’ but I have to tell you that this entire situation is ripe with obvious collusion between Politicians, Bio Tech Companies and Pharmaceutical companies to ’spin’ the bad news about GMOs in an attempt to fool the public about what is really happening.
Did you know the Big Pharmaceutical companies are major investors in Bio Technology?
Did you know that many scientists, at least the ones not in the employ of Big Pharma or Bio Tech Companies, have either serious reservations about the direction genetic engineering is going and the safety of products already on the market, or outright opposition to the continued sale of such products to the public?
Did you know that these BioTech companies and their investors continue to mislead us in just about every possible manner?
Let’s see here, BioTech companies invent new food crops which can over the long term potentially be the cause of some pretty unhealthy long term conditions (ADHD, lower intestinal disorders, allergies, obesity to name but a few) which require ‘medical treatments’ (read drug therapy) for the unknowing and apparently unsuspecting public, which in this case could be a HUGE SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION OF THIS COUNTRY and the world. The Big Pharma companies then make just a ton more money AND ARE VIRTUALLY GUARANTEED A VERY STEADY INCOME STREAM FOREVER (or at least as long as the population is being poisoned).
Does that sound plausible? If you think these companies have your best interests at heart — THINK AGAIN AND DO IT QUICKLY!! Watch the video, ‘All Jacked Up’ .
Now for the really important part: What can we do about this?
- Educate yourself, we have to do this first
- Inform your local school boards and get them to educate themselves – get – these foods off the school menus (the largest short and long term health risk from these foods is to our children)
- Communicate with your neighbors, your state and federal representatives. Tell them what you know and what you want them to do about it! Sign petitions etc.
- Be aware that the FDA and your Congress continue to try to pull the wool over our eyes and empower these companies to continue to deceive us and contaminate our food supply!
- VOTE with your dollars. Just don’t buy anything other than organic products. If the food companies see that there is a public outcry and their GM products are not selling…they will take them off the shelf!

THIS IS IMPORTANT FOLKS! DON’T ASSUME ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS! ACT NOW
