GMOs: The Horrible Truth

GMOs...

Let's face it, we've all heard about them. Genetically modified organisms: plants & animals that have been genetically engineered/altered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants & animals.

Horrible! It's not natural & they are killing us! Not only us, but the environment. Growing evidence has shown a direct correlation of the worlds health problems with GMO foods! Let's not forget companies like Monsanto are violating farmers & consumers rights!

Cross contamination of GMO seed & pollen into non-GMO farmers crops have been causing quite an outrage to those that educate themselves. Monsanto sues farmers of non-GMO crops due to nature sending GMO contaminates into their fields. Monsanto stating that those farmers have stolen Monsanto's "intellectual property". What kind of rubbish is that? These farmers are forced to take settlements because Monsanto & other companies like them are running these farmers into debt. Farmers mind you that are TRYING to provide wholesome, real food to people.  In order to stop this poison from continuing to spread & take over the food supply we MUST ACT NOW! Buy locally sourced, organic, non-GMO foods. Support the farmers growing real food & stop buying from companies wanting you to eat POISON!

GMOs are considered so dangerous & bad for our health that over 60 countries have either banned, restricted GMO foods or required labeling. How come the United States isn't one of them you ask? Well the answer is in our government & regulatory offices. People in charge of the USDA & FDA are former Monsanto & companies like them executives. That's right, the people saying your food is safe worked for the companies making poison food!

It is estimated that over 80 percent of food grown worldwide are GMOs! 80 percent! That's huge! These GMOs are engineered to be herbicide, pesticide, fungicide resistant, so that means you have to use more chemical it kill weeds & bugs. It has been estimated since GMO seed came out that the use of round up which contains 2,4-D ( the chemical to make agent orange) has increased 15 times. This has made so called "super weeds & super bugs"; mean more chemicals, more harm to us & the environment.

Choose to make a change! Save yourselves, your children, your children's children etc from poisoned foods. Give them a chance to be healthy & live a long vibrant life. MAKE A CHANGE! It's easier than you think. I've said it before; buy locally sourced; organisms; non-GMO foods. Grow your own, shop farmer's markets. There are resources to find good, safe wholesome foods. When you buy non-GMO, organic, and/or locally sourced organic foods you ARE supporting that farmer. You ARE taking away money & power from Monsanto & companies like them.

Spread the word, educate yourselves, everyone has the right to safe, whole foods. Lobby for GMO labeling, don't let the poison win!
