Why You Must Avoid These GMOs Like The Plague

These are my notes from GMO OMG, a superb documentary that presents the facts about the horrific situation with GMOs in America and worldwide. Before you read anything, do you think we can ‘play God’, alter nature, and really expect not to have severe consequences?

I was inspired to write this post after attending an event for escreen-shot-2016-09-13-at-17-24-19ntrepreneurs on Saturday in LA during which the organiser presented about the effects of Monsanto and GMOs on the Bee Population. Bee Population has dropped significantly of worrying proportions since the 80s and a major contributor for this is down to the disastrous effects of GMO produce – and the likes of Monsanto. Bee pollination is essential for the growth of plants – without them, natural vegetation diminishes so this effects we mere mortals and every living thing on the planet suffers.

We were also informed about how Monsanto and Bayer, or rather Bayer was to acquire Monsanto this week, to become the world’s largest manufacturer of seeds and pesticides. I mean, I don’t know where to start with this. Why would anyone want to acquire one of the most hated companies on the planet, if they are to act for the greater good? Well of course they’re not acting for the greater good. It’s Bayer Pharmaceuticals. Do you know about the Bayer and IG Farben’s involvement in World War 2? Let’s not digress…

Only a few weeks ago Obama signed an agreement that meant that GMO labelling was not essential. It was Half Job Harry attempt at doing something good but the loopholes were extraordinary. Big Food are exempt for example. 80% of processed foods contain GMOs. Cheers Obama! It is known as The Dark Act – denying Americans the Right To Know.  It nullified the GE labelling laws in Vermont and Virginia (where labelling had previously been made mandatory) that allowed farmers to choose which seeds they would purchase.  This does not protect the consumer, and acts only in favour of bottom line profit for the agricultural industry and the US government.

In case you’re unaware, GMOs come in various forms. There are those that fend off pests and bugs (Pesticide Producers) that are injected into the DNA of the organism, and there are Herbicide Resisters, designed to protect the plants from the weeds. Some of the pesticide producers are designed to make the bugs’ stomachs explode – and then we give them to our children expecting for nothing bad to happen. Hmm….something to think about?

Let’s speed up the pace:

  • Even when food is natural or organic, it can’t guarantee that the animals are not fed with GMO feed.
  • A brief history: Since the start of the agricultural industry around 10,000 years ago, we’ve struggled with pests.
    • 900 AD: Arsenic sulphides started to be used. The gamble to poison insects without poisoning ourselves.
    • By 1800 they filled orchards.
    • After WW2 the battle with nature became an all out war.
    • Chemicals produced for explosives and nerve agents we reformulated as pesticides and it was rained down on farmland throughout the world.
    • In 1914 200m pesticides existed. By 2000 5.1bn pounds of pesticides existed.
  • Now over 500 species of bugs are resistant. GMOs emerged in 90s were the most advanced. Then weeds and bugs adapted. Round Up Ready crops created Round Up Ready weeds. Pigweed can bathe in weedkiller and grow 3 inches in a day. Cotton Bollworm feeds on BT toxin engineered to destroy it. GMO’s ARE NOT SUSTAINABLE!!!! ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS IN SUPPORT OF THEIR USE!!!
  • 85% of corn is GMO in the US, 91% of soy, 88% of cotton, 90% of canola, 90% of sugar beets. 165million acres of GMO in the US. 420 million worldwide.
  • Farmers have yielded more than 50% in 10-15 years.
  • Monsanto and their horrific Round Up Ready Corn and Round Up treatment. The scientific studies that were approved by the USDA were based on a three month incubation period on rats that were exposed to the Monsanto corn and also the Round Up treatment. In three months, no defects were found on rats and the products were approved. Do you think 3 months is sufficient? I mean, having zero scientific knowledge on this, would you think 3 months is sufficient? I have no idea but I’d say absolutely not. Read on to find the answer to this…
  • Jeremy, the presenter of GMO OMG wanted to find out. He was frequently calling Monsanto to ask for an interview. He was asking if their produce was safe for his children. He never managed to get an interview. He questioned: “aren’t they proud of their products? How they are feeding all of us?”
  • GMO corn in Iowa is registered as a pesticide. And also a food. Monsanto is feeding us and children with pesticides. How is a registered pesticide getting into the food? Lack of regulation. GMO corn is engineered to be its own pesticide.
  • Cows, chickens and pigs are raised on corn and soy.
  • Just like pharmaceutical companies, companies like Monsanto, Du Point and Syngenta are trying to patent nature. Monsanto has sued 1000s of farmers. In 1980 Supreme court determined that nature could be patented. WTF??? Next we’ll hear that the most powerful plant on Earth, the hemp plant, that produces superbly powerful anti-cancerous CBDs and saves cancer patients will be made illegal. Oh wait, that’s already happened… It’s ok for prescription drugs to be legal though and for more people to become addicted to them then any illegal drug on the planet. Sorry, I digress again…
  • Consumer education is key. Now the consumer is unaware. The more people know the more people are shocked and surprised and affected by negative impacts on them and the environment.
  • GMOs are not sustainable. In 1000 years they cannot exist. Bugs, pests and weeds will all become resistant to them. Only organic systems can be around in 1,000 years.
  • Labelling – a precautionary approach would be to give people the option – the knowledge, to know and act.
  • The industry does not want to label as it will change consumer behaviour. People will leave them on the shelves. In Europe, people will steer clear of GMOs – they do not want this now. 60 countries throughout the world require labelling of GMOs. In the US, state after state has requested the labelling of GMO foods. People have a right to know what they’re putting in their bodies. Monsanto has threatened to sue the state. California Ballot Initiative. Over 6million people voted to label GMOs. Industry spent $45m to defeat it. Industry won. Shock. 
  • Most people who eat processed foods do not realise they’re eating GMOs. Today we produce (I don’t personally, the food industry does) 4,600 kilo calories per person per day at household level. It’s twice as much as we need. We produce enough food to feed 14 billion people. Who is out there saying we need to double? The industry. The FDA declared GMOs were generally recognised as safe. GRAS. There was no science, no peer reviews. These new foods create allergens, lower immune response, make a non-toxic food toxic, they lower nutrition.  
  • The Biotech industry spent $547.5 million on lobbying congress between 1999 and 2009.
  • Over 300 former congressional and Whitehouse members are now employed by Biotech firms and lobbyistsFood And Water Watch
  • Revolving Door policy.  Michael Taylor. 1976 Staff Attorney for FDA -> Law Firm representing Monsanto -> back to the FDA where he oversaw Monsanto’s genetically engineered Bovine Growth Hormone. He then headed up Food Safety and Inspection at the USDA then back to Monsanto. Finally he returns to the FDA as the second highest ranking official pushing the de regulation of GMO salmon. He feeds corporate government at consumer expense.
  • If we are what we eat, we need to be mindful of the products we are consuming so we know what we become. YOU ACTUALLY BECOME THE FOOD YOU EAT, QUITE LITERALLY!!!
  • “Two studies point to Common Pesticides use in declining Bee Colonies”
  • “U.S Discover of Rogue GMO Wheat Raises Concerns Over Controls” – Reuters
  • GMOs are a new form of slavery
  • Over 100 new GMO products in the waiting line. Salmon that grows 4 times faster
  • Fish Pellet Ingredients – fish meal and wheat flour, soy bean meal. Rainbow Trout caught in rivers in the north.
  • Opting out of foods and treats for kids like ice creams means opting out of culture and tradition. Let kids have fun with friends, candy with strangers. Knowledge is power though, right? Once you know, why would you want to give this to your children? I sure as hell won’t be.
  • NORWAY: Svalbad Global Seed Volt, seeds from all over the whole world designed to save the world in the event of a major catastrophe. It’s an Insurance Policy.  Norway is very strict about GMOs. Norway sees them as very dangerous. People learn the dangers of GMOs when they go to school. It’s just not allowed. If you’re eating a tomato with the genes of a scorpion, it’s going to present problems. It’s not how nature made it. In order for something to be approved a GMO will be evaluated by the 1993 Gene Technology Act, the GMO will not pose any health risks, or environmental risks and in addition must contain to sustainable development, be a benefit to society and ethical. 
  • FRANCE: 2 years study on health impacts of GMOs and Round Up have just been released – Dr Serelini. Professor of Molecular Biology at University of Cannes. Set out over 2 years ago to investigate thoroughly toxicological effects of Monsanto’s GMO corn. It was approved in the European Union over a decade ago after a 3 month study financed by MONSANTO. The study was carried out on Round Up Herbicide and the Monsanto GMO corn.
  • Severe implications for human health. Males – liver and kidneys seriously impacted. Females were prone to huge mammary tumours.
  • Three months was far too short an incubation time for these studies to provide any kind of accurate data and information – for these man made products to be approved. He carried out his own identical studies and found the following:
    • Within 4-5 months – tumours were developing
    • 14 months 10-30% of females had tumours. None in control group.
    • 24 months 50-80% of females had up to 3 tumours per animal. Round up treated greatest at 80%
    • Pituitary glands in females were second most affected. Androgen and Estrogen levels were imbalanced in both males and females. Estrogen levels in males had doubled in male rats with the highest roundup dose. IMAGINE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MEN!!! 
  • 2 years of a rat’s life is an entire human life. By the end of the first year (30-40 human lives) a lot of breast tumours in women. This equates to women getting breast cancer around 30-40. Round Up kills human cells at low levels. Round Up in Tap Water too. Hormonal imbalance is triggered that creates the genital system.
  • Less than a day after the study was published scientists in LONDON in France’s Top Scientific Journal, Science Media centre of London discredited the report from 8 top scientists – all of whom were tied to the biotech industry. Serelini was widely criticised for the rats he used – but he used exactly the same rats as the Monsanto did. Monsanto refuses to release their raw data.
  • Everyone is eating a contaminating level. On North America there is no traceability. 98% of edible GMOs, they’re made in countries with no labelling. YOU CAN REQUEST BY THE LAW THE TRANSPARENCY ON THE BLOOD ANALYSIS ON THE RATS THAT HAVE ALLOWED THE MARKET RELEASE OF GMOs.
  • It would cost virtually nothing for these giant companies to carry out studies to protect the people but they won’t do it and the US government won’t do anything to enforce it to protect the population. 
  • Farmers aren’t allowed to save the seeds at the end of the year. They have to buy them again and they’re patented. It’s a giant money making system and does not look out for the consumer at all.
  • All that stands in the way between ecological systems that provide food and life back to the planet, and rural countryside is Monsanto and lobbying power of agricultural business. 
  • It’s clear that people want labelling. It’s not being approved. Why did Obama recently sign against GMO labelling. If there’s nothing to hide, then disclose it. We all must know what we’re putting in our body. SIMPLE. Tell the truth. If you’re hiding it, then something is up. Connecticut became the first state to require GMO labelling.  Maine too. Whole Foods vows to label GMO food.
