I just wanted to announce that I now have a blog entitled, The GMO Report where I will be reporting on GMOs and their effects as well as information and truth we all need to know to protect ourselves and our planet from this assault. It is just a baby now but I will be adding much more to it in the coming week(s). Take a look, become a follower if you wish to and please most importantly spread this information to all you can. There is indeed strength in numbers and the only way we will ever win this fight for food sovereignty and a healthy planet is through awareness, education and action.

Thanks,
Jan

    • For those who have already made their minds up about GMOs this will be an excellent blog to follow. It will contain readily filtered information about the negative side of GMOs, and will be a valuable one-stop source of propaganda.

      "This blog will bring information on the most important crisis facing our food besides biodistress (climate change)..."
      Biased, and tainted by extremism from the outset, this blog lays its cards on the line.
      Whereas the jury is still out regarding the safety or otherwise of GM products, this author already has the defendants hung, drawn and quartered.
      The fact is no-one is yet sure about the safety of GMOs, many think they're safe, while many think not. Personally, I have no idea whether GMOs are safe or not, but one thing I am sure about is I will not be taking the slightest notice of this blog. Why? Simply because this author is already well known for the dissemination of biased and incorrect information, for the use of scaremongering images, and for displaying a lack of intellect in respect to free, fair and open discussion. For this author there is no discussion.

      For the free-thinking amongst you I would suggest taking anything in this blog with a pinch of (organic) salt, and doing a lot of research before making your mind up about this subject.
      For those who are too lazy to seek the truth (which may well be that GMOs are dangerous) about this subject, and are willing to accept someone else's slanted view, then this will be the ideal blog for you - enjoy.

      I believe Jan has done her research.

      My issue is with her terminology- her actual concern is "Monsanto's pesticide-resistant GMOs" which she has shorthanded to "GMOs". She paints with too broad a brush.

      Her complaints about "Monsanto's pesticide-resistant GMOs" are valid.

      Her complaints about GMOs in general are not.

      You sound jealous. Anybody here a while knows why you don't like Jan, because she is effective and that's why you lie about her. That's why nothing you say is taken seriously.

      and furthermore, CURRENT is the ONLY media I have seen in a long time cover the issue, its not in mainstream print for a reason, check yourself home girl because that attitude sucks, i applaud the author for her coverage!

      Yes, I added a Fair Use Notice. I am not easily intimidated, especially regarding being on the side of truth. Those seeking to challlenge me on my thoughts will also be made aware of that if and when it needed to be stated ;-). Thanks.

    • GOOD WORK JAN!!! Your link to the GMO article cleared up some unknowns for me. Now, I am able to justifiably oppose GMO agriculture, just as I have long opposed industrial agriculture, and particularly monoculture.

      I highly recommend following Jan's advice!

    • At first (back in 2006) when I learned about gmo'd foods I thought, this will be easy, we demand labeling, we campaign in support of foods not labeled gmo and they (companies that sell this stuff) realize we don't want it, and thus "supply ...and demand" works to kill products we don't want. Easy as pie. But, that has not been the case, it has not been easy, it has proven completely impossible to use our voice to demand this exposure. I am so p/o'd too. I want to know what I eat, I don't like to eat any food sprayed with pesticides, and of course gmo is sprayed like mad. Not just that of course, gmo is much more dangerous. Pesticide debate has become the baby danger today. We have much larger "fish to fry". I hear that an action in being planned in DC by Millions Against Monsanto, if so, I will be there. We will probable get the same exposure that Chris Hedges and Dan E. got during their peace protest in December, but at least I can say I was there, IF they do it.

      Along the way of my journey into the seedy world of Monsanto, I have had the privilege of making online friends with Jan, and she has enabled me to learn more and more. If you have a passionate leaning to fight the good fight, hang around a equip your mind. She is one dedicated soldier in the fight for justice. Thanks so much Jan!

    • Good on you Jan! As an eco farmer for 40 years,and knowing the facts on GMOs;they harm the health of the soil, and people,exposing these toxic atrocities must be told to those who don't know.Labling GMOs in the grocery store,all foods,grain,meat milk all have gmos unless they are organic or labeled otherwise.All polls show consumers don't want gmos.Too bad Obama is ignorant,or plain politically expedient (campaign contributions,from the gmo giants,ag chem corps) he chooses reelection over admitting the toxic nature of gmos.Shame on Obama.

      Your complaints are about Monsanto, and what Monsanto has produced.

      As I said as a metaphor in another thread, McDonalds produces crappy food, but that does not mean all restaurants are bad.

      Monsanto used genetic engineering to create plants that are resistant to their pesticides. From the get-go, they did not have the consumer's interests at heart, so of course the resulting products are crap.

      OTHER people, NOT Monsanto, are doing incredible research into genetically modified crops that will be more nutritious, have a longer shelf-life, a higher yield, and can be grown locally in various climates.

      Science is a good thing- don't confuse science with corporations.

      Jan, he said no myths, and there was nothing to debunk.

      He talked about the potential of a technology, and that potential is real.

      None of that has anything whatsoever to do with Monsanto or Roundup.

      It is good to expose the dark side of what a corporation like Monsanto is doing.

      It is bad to be afraid of an entire scientific discipline and all of the wonderful potential it can bring BECAUSE of that one bad corporation.

      You say:
      "so far the GMO and its effect on the local flaura had disastrous effect!"

      This is false.
      Monsanto's effect on the local flaura had disastrous effect.
      That has NOTHING to do with the entire science of genetic engineering.
      Again, the problem is Monsanto, and their pesticide resistant crops.
      This has NOTHING to do with genetic engineering of crops for nutrition, yield, shelf life, etc.

      You say:
      "You see, insect, heart, animals and plants had an equilibre a cycle between them, GMO is breaking the cycle and put all others livings in danger!"

      Based on that thinking, no human should ever do anything at all, because we might upset the balance.

      In reality, we are a PART of that balance. We are the best part, because we can think. As such, we can even genetically engineer plants, and even insects, to help PRESERVE that balance.

      You say:
      "On top, patenting the food would never save the hungrier, common, you know corporation, don't be fooled!"

      Again, my point is science, not corporations, and not patent law.

      Many scientists fight against genetic patents, and publish all genetic findings online, following the model of the software open source community.

      Science is a GOOD thing. every benefit of the life you live now is a result of science. Don't fear genetic engineering and all the benifits it can bring simply because of one bad corporation.

    • That's an excellent initiative, Jan. I've bookmarked it and also shared it on my facebook profile. I look forward to visiting it regularly.

    • I live in the St. Louis, MO, USA area near the headquarters of Monsanto. The environmental group ClimateActionSTL is currently planning all sorts of actions against this hideous corporation, in addition to actions against Peabody Energy.

      Hopefully, with a little luck and help, we'll be rolling out a new sustained local fight this summer. It's been about 10 years since we had a major action targeting Monsanto...back when we had Percy Schmeiser down here from Saskatchewan. I feel like the time is right, people are ready...just look at Madison...what if we got 10,000 people out in front of their headquarters?

    • Thanks Jan, I added your blog to my favorites. I have been reading your posts for a couple years now and appreciate the facts you bring to the table. Facts are important and you are an excellent source for environmental facts.

    • Hitler tried to force breed the brightest Germans to build a master race. Are these GMO profiteers any less mad? Our entire food supply will be corrupted by their greed.

      Good luck with the new blog, Jan! We're all with you.

      Humans have been breeding plants to build "master strains" since the dawn of agriculture.

      Almost all of the foods you eat every day, including those certified 100% organic, are radically different from their ancient wild ancestors. Our entire food supply is BASED on this technology.

      Since the photo at the top of this page is of an ear of corn, take a look at what corn looked like BEFORE it was genetically engineered by ancient Mexicans:

      It was a grain, not unlike wheat.
