"In every FDA decision involving genetically modified foods, those making the decision were either former or future employees of the genetic-engineering companies. To determine the safety of these foods, the FDA typically just takes the word of the company.

Further, the FDA has increased the allowable residue of Roundup on crops by 330%. So Monsanto can make genetically engineered crops resistant to their toxic chemicals and sell more chemical as well as seeds. You get to eat both the genetically altered “food” and the added chemicals. What a scheme. Monsanto is making a killing on these seeds and chemicals.

These corporations have lots of products for you in the pipeline. Here are just a few: Aluminum tolerance in papaya, tobacco, rice, and corn (so they can grow the plants in soil contaminated with aluminum). Growth-enhanced farm-raised salmon. Monosexed fish. Altering carnivorous fish to starch-based digestion. Antifreeze gene in warm-water fish to raise them in cold climates.

Do you really want to eat plants resistant to aluminum? I don't think your brain would like that!

How about fish with antifreeze?

And, if these companies have their way, their products will be labeled as organic if grown without the addition of chemicals."

"GENETIC ENGINEERING of OUR FOOD - a growing threat to your health:

This is a burning issue, the significance of which most people seem blissfully and trustingly unaware. The future of FOOD (through genetic engineering - leading to patents, ownership, and complete control ownership of seeds and thus the food supply by Corporations is one if THE most important issues facing the survival of mankind and the biological environment.

But even worse, many of these foods have been clearly shown to destroy health, - and are definitely an overwhelming threat to the genetic integrity of natural plants through pollen transfer, etc - a fact that is carefully covered up by a "silent main media" and the steady stream of government/corporate/academic misinformation and pseudoscience.

Jeffrey Smith is one of the most informed whistleblowers on the issue of genetic engineering - and his book SEEDS of DECEPTION is a trail-blazer - the most detailed and documented expose of the dangers, deceit, and "control-agenda" surrounding the genetic- engineering debacle.

It is important that we inform ourselves NOW - and then decide how to reverse this disastrous agenda - because the SEED-FOOD-SUPPLY-TAKEOVER Agenda is already very well advanced, with government complicity and promotion. "

Why You Should Avoid These "Healthy" Foods

It’s no secret that organic foods are gaining in popularity. Even the corporate behemoth Wal-Mart is making big news with its new organic products. But have you ever thought about the reason organics are becoming so popular?

Obviously, the word is getting out about pesticides and herbicides. The American people have said enough is enough and demanded cleaner, healthier foods. But the problem is much greater than just pesticides and herbicides.

The Big Chemical companies and Big Agriculture companies have joined together to genetically modify plants to be disease and insect resistant.

Genetic modification means the insertion of genes into an organism. Genes are the hard drive of a cell’s computer. They tell your cells what to do, and what compounds to manufacture.
