Do you know what is in your food?

Do you know what is in your food?

No one ever told us that six years ago we Americans began eating genetically engineered food.  Mandatory labeling of  food ingredients is required in other countries but our FDA has decided we don't need to know.

What are GMOs?   Genetically Modified Organism, is a man-made organism created in a laboratory and patented by a corporation or the USDA. GMOs are created by a process called genetic engineering.

Genetic engineering involves crossing species which could not cross in nature. For example, genes from a fish have been inserted into strawberries and tomatoes. While the Food and Drug Administration insists that foods produced by genetic engineering are the same as foods from traditional breeding, their own scientists reported that, "the processes of genetic engineering and traditional breeding are different and... they lead to different risks."

Companies  are spending billions on this crazy idea.  Why?   Follow the money.  They want to own copyrights on  genes that no one else 'owns' - so that they can make billions of dollars from them..

There IS Evidence of Harm:

1. The lifespan of ladybugs was reduced to half when they ate aphids that had fed on genetically altered potatoes in Scotland, according to a London Times article (10/22/97) by Science Editor, Nigel Hawkes.The ladybugs also laid fewer eggs. Note that the ladybirds did not even eat the genetically modified food directly, as we are doing now. They ate something ELSE that had eaten  modified food.

2. A recent TV Show by PBS (Public Broadcasting) on GMO's showed how people have  created salmon several times bigger than normal salmon and are currently being farmed inland. However,  the salmon farm is currently seeking permission to farm the salmon in fenced off sections of the ocean. The problem is that if even a couple get away, they could cause the extinction of salmon.

3. Because there are no labelling laws about GMOs, danger to humans who are allergic to certain foods is guaranteed. For instance, if someone is deathly allergic to peanuts. A GMO may have a gene from a peanut in them. The allergic person could get a reaction from eating ANYTHING that contained the peanut gene. They wouldn't even know what caused it.

4. Pesticides are now going to be INSIDE the food you eat!


The sad thing is that we don't even need GMOs to produce more food. There is already 2-4 times enough food on the planet to feed everyone.

Please learn all you can on this incredible threat to life as we know it, and do your bit to stop it.

TAKE ACTION

At least find out which foods have GMOs and boycott (stop buying) them.
