[...] The sad thing is that most people don’t even know this stuff is in their food. If you’re wondering if you’ve eaten this stuff before, ask yourself: “have I used ketchup, mayonnaise, sugar, cereal, coffee, mangos, or bananas that are not labeled ‘organic’ over the years?” If the answer is “yes”, then you’ve been eating genetically modified food without knowing it. As of 2011, 94% of all soy planted in the United States is genetically modified, as is 72% of corn(1). If you have a moment, walk over to your pantry and look at how many items you have that contain soy and/or corn products. Some estimates have the percentage of commercial food contaminated with genetic modification at around 70%(2). [...]

You can do many things Look on the computer for heritage seeds so you can take the time to grow your own foods for the season or on the shelves of your own homes, There is a such thing as CANNING not many people do it any more and not only is it helping you it is also saving you money in the long run. I make myown jam from the berries that I pick here in the mountains of Vermont. I grow tomatoes and cucumbers and other berries. Beets for the greens and whatever else I can put in the garden that is not genetically modifed. You can make more people aware of the changes in health due to genetically modified foods. The amount of people with unexpected cancer. Look up the distintion of honey bees. Look on ebay for haritage seeds. talk to the people who grow seed crops. Get the word out from what you do research on learn to make baby foods stop being lazy. I do not say this to cut you down it is a fact that people have gotten lazy and do not grow their own foods anymore. land is limited as well.
IK then I am trong. Hope this helps in your research Please

Go to the Center for Food Safety Home Page. Click on the Action Alerts over to the side and sign the petitions. You could also Donate to the Center for Food Safety.

To learn more about Genetically Modified Food, go to this website:

http://www.howtoeathealthyguidetohealth.officelive.com (go to the page on Genetically Modified Foods)

To take yet more action, tell more people about CFS and educate people. If you really want to get rid of Genetically Modified Foods, get people to stop eating them. The health risks of eating GE food are extremely serious and notifiable. The above website has enough information in that regard to put you in business for a while. It has information on what genetically engineered food is, how it is harmful, and how it is inextricably tied to corruption (of the gov’t), and deceit (of the people).

I don’t understand why people need to ask “is it true”. I think it’s clear that it’s true, GE products are in our food supply. Period. I used to work in pesticide management in the 1990s and as pesticides got phased out, GE crops got phased in. The chemical companies are VERY powerful and you can see by these campaigns how they are lobbying to continue to have the power to create, patent and sell genetically modify (food) crops.

When people ask “Are there proven health risks?” “Is it really true that these are so dangerous for us?” I feel like that is not the right question to ask.

People are looking at the health risks, and claiming the health risks haven’t been proven yet.

This is not the right place to look and it is a distraction from the real issue: the real question is, do we want a chemical company like Monsanto to own the patent rights to our food? And I’m talking about ALL our food. As long as they are able to genetically modify and control the rights and production of corn, and let’s say alfalfa, we are giving up the control of our food supply.

The right to plant, hybridize, harvest and sell and or feed our family is the basis of human civilization. I don’t think the control should be in the hands of a few chemical companies.

Has anyone tried the approach of a class action lawsuit (counter suit) on behalf of Organic farmers/consumers against Monsanto and the like for adulterating their/our crops/food? If not, why not? Thanks in advance!

This information is alarming but is it true? For example can you give specifics of who has inserted flounder genes into tomatoes? Which brand of tomatoes in market are such tomatoes? Or human genes in pigs? It would be more convincing if you have specific proof otherwise it appears to be mere fear mongering.
