And just as an addendum:
I got a message from someone after the posting I made yesterday regarding tests that showed bee behavioral anomolies after being exposed to proteins from BT corn. I was called an 'alarmist' and basicially made to feel a bit intimidated about posting the information. To you I say, here is another bit of proof for you. If you have done your own testing and come to a different conclusion post the results here for all to see. Oh, and tests done by Monsanto do not count. And as far as my posting this information when I come upon it...that will continue, because something this important to our planet's sustainability, biodiversity, and the health and safety of our children and people is not something I intend to ignore.
Thank you.

Something else we can do as citizens is to voice our support of Rep. Dennis Kucinich's HR 6636: Genetically Engineered Food Right To Know Act.
-
Man we are in trouble.

This has been going on for years. The FDA doesnt always share their findings

Good for you. Keep posting and do not be intimidated or be made to feel belittled by someone else. This is an important topic that effects us all
-
Jan,
No reason for you to feel intimidated....you're right on the money. -
Janforgore, thank God there is people like you in this world. I, too, have been ridiculized in the past when I attempted several times to bring to light this huge tragic truth about gm food and monsanto being the evil cause for it.
Only a few experiments have been done on gm food and the results were really bad, on the contrary no test were ever made to see if these gm food were safe for people to consume it, this makes it all more aggravating and alarming. It makes you wonder what fda is really doing, they are the ones supposed to supervise and protect the consumer. How is that for an alarm?
To the people that do not believe in this and decide to make a fool out of us because we spell scary truths, for those that decide to live in denial, stay disinformed and ignorant, remain silent!
Unless you come up with some verified proof then we will have a debate otherwise these people are only smoke , nothing else, I have no sympathy for them either, keep eating gm food, the day you don't feel so good you will rethink the words "genetically engineered".

I wouldn't know about this if it wasn't for you posting it here. We don't see this anywhere else.

Good call, planetstupid, that's one way around this, or grow your own.
-
I highly recommend this documentary titled "The Future of Food." It's an in depth investigation on unlabelled and patented GM foods and how they've made it to grocery stores in the past decade.

America has the most expensive health care system in the world, yet we rank fairly low in infant mortality, cancer, alzheimers, etc, etc. Why do you think that is?? Growing your own is good, but make sure the seeds aren't GMO (try seedsavers.com). A simple way around it is use only organic foods. And don't believe the USDA Organic label. They're heavily lobbied, what else more do I need to say about that? Many GMO's are banned or at least better regulated in Europe than in America. How come they're so much smarter than us? Go Obama!!

Monsanto is a world leader in Genetically Engineered & Genetically Modified food sources upon which all humans subsist. As they go global with this strategy, they are truly one of the most dangerous companies in the world as they attempt to monopolize the very essence of survival - legal ownership of patented single use seeds to grow our food, and unbelievably, must be purchased from Monsanto every year in order to plant your next crop. BOYCOTT ALL MONSANTO PRODUCTS AT ALL COSTS!
If you haven’t seen the documentary “The Future of Food” (or even "The Corporation") yet, I strongly urge you to do so. If I didn’t know that Monsanto’s goal of global food manipulation, distribution & ultimately complete crop control is perfectly legal, I would have thought this reaching the level of science fiction. However, this is one powerful & evil company that has Washington D.C.’s politicians, regulatory agencies & lobbyists in all their pockets.
Don’t be fooled or misled, Monsanto is one of the biggest scum-sucking parasites ingratiating its way further into everyone’s daily life whether you are aware of it or not. Their logo should be the CEO with horns, a pointy tail & carrying a pitchfork in order to prod you into becoming a consumer of their products. Do not underestimate or do business with this company-you will only empower them to overpower us.
Franken foods must be kept off of store shelves at all costs. Go organic whenever possible, becoming an informed consumer & spending your money in a way that does not support a system leading to our potential demise.

It is a shame that profit has put us all at risk. Home gardening may become necessity and not hobby! As it is although biofuels are better for our environment, their production has driven the price of corn and other food staples that were an inexpensive option in tortillas and similar flour based foods through the roof as farmers are turning their crops to fuel for more money. We may have to garden for safety and economical reasons.
