(Mercola.com) GM [genetically modified] corn, soybeans, canola, and sugar beets have made their way into approximately 80 percent of current U.S. processed grocery store items, now that up to 90 percent of several U.S. grown crops are grown with genetically engineered seed. So if you live in the United States, you have most certainly already been exposed to GM foods — most likely a lot of them.
Genetically engineered seeds are banned in Hungary, as they are in several other European countries, such as Germany and Ireland. Peru is also following the precautionary principle, and has even passed a law that bans genetically modified ingredients within the nation for 10 years.
What would prompt the Hungarian government to take such a drastic step? Perhaps it is the fact that GM crops simply cannot be contained, and inevitably will contaminate the environment with GM DNA. Or it could be that they do not want superweeds, triggered by the overuse of Roundup herbicide on GM Roundup Ready crops, overtaking their farmland the way they are now doing in the United States. Then again, it could be the unknown threats to human health — and the fact that new research shows toxins from GM crops are now appearing in human blood — that made them think twice.
The other, and more serious issue, is the hidden one. Nearly all GM crops are designed with genes to resist a potent herbicide called Round Up or glyphosate. The newest science is showing that glyphosate is actually FAR more dangerous than people realize. It just is not widely appreciated yet, and the U.S. is spreading massive amounts of it every year. The consequences of this chemical abuse will have profoundly devastating consequences and the longer we wait to remove this toxin the worse it will be.
As of now, if a food is labeled “organic” it cannot contained GMOs. There is a bill (that has been stalled for a LONG time) waiting passage that would require the food and agriculture industries to label the product if a food contains GMOs, but the industries are fighting it. The more you find out, the scarier it gets!
I hope the Mayans are right about 2012 because I, for one, can’t function anymore worrying about everything in my food, the atmosphere, my water, my house, my job, etc that is going to kill me!!!!
WTF PEOPLE? WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY HAVE LEFT THAT WE WOULD EVEN WANT TO LIVE FOR?
With the quality of life as crappy as it currently is, WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LIVE TO BE 100 WHEN THINGS ARE JUST GOING TO GET WORSE??
NO–LET THE END COME—ONE LESS DAY OF BEING TAXED AND POISONED TO DEATH BY THE MARXIST BS!!!! WHAT THEY DON’T REALIZE IS THAT WHEN WE ARE GONE, THEY TOO WILL SUFFER FROM THEIR OWN MEDDLING!! THEY HAVE TO EAT TOO!!!
The Bible tells us that God is going to bring to ruin those ruining the earth. The earth is good and can and will be perfected. People who do not love these truths are the ones who will not be here any more.
Two of these comments/questions are resonable. Whoever wrote or agrees with the other two needs to look around, do some real research and think beyond LimbBeckHand. Look beyond what the corporate owned media tells us. Look into issues from all points of view and find out what does, or does not, validate the statements your sources. You have to raise your head above the crowd to see where you are and where you need to go.
How can we know that even the organically grown crops have not or will not be contaminated GM products?
Is there a way to know if the foods we buy are GM or not?
Well as the way I see it, if the jackel doesn’t stop it before we throw him out of office and if he doesn’t address this problem, we will know thr jackel could use this as another means to cull the population, let’s face it kids, he can’t afford ALL OF US, some must go!!!
So, how do you know if these GM ingredients are in the food? Does it say specifically?
What are we waiting for? All these environmentalist stopping growth, development and job creation with there radical bull shit studying the mating habits of frogs and shrimp, don’t you wish they were as concerned for our food supply!
