GMOs In The UK: Just Because You've Banned Them, Doesn't Mean They're Staying Out Of Your Food Supply...

Hey! Watch Out! Big, Bad (Bad, Very Bad!) Biotech Is Sneaking Around Behind The Peoples' Backs, Again!

Monsanto, Syngenta and Bayer... Oh My!
(cue theme music for "Jaws")

(From: "Monsanto, Syngenta and Bayer CropScience... Co-optation, Deception and Collusion")

British Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary Owen Paterson is a staunch supporter of the GM ("Genetic Modification") sector (1). Despite criticisms of him being an industry puppet (2) and content to ignore the devastating, deleterious health, environmental, social and agricultural impacts of GMOs (3), both he and other officials like the EU’s chief science advisor Anne Glover (4) have been more than happy to act as mouthpieces for the GM sector by making false statements and claims about the benefits and safety of GMOs that fly in the face of scientific findings.

*And, if you think GM-corruption and GM greased-palm crap isn't going on in the U.S.A. and Everywhere...
Well, then, you don't know... Monsanto!  (Get off your arse and do some research!)

*Those of us already 'in the know' about GMOs need to Stay Informed, Stay Involved and Stay Active:

Speaking of monsters... er, Monsanto - Read "Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear"

Speaking of monsters... er, I mean Monsanto...

"Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear" is a terrific & in-depth investigation by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele that appeared in Vanity Fair in 2008.

And, don't let the year put you off in the least. This is a well-researched, timely and informative article and, thereby, a worthwhile read...
Especially if you are someone who is unfamiliar with Monsanto's shameless shenanigans...

Or, if you are someone who has concerns about the safety of our food and of our food supply...

Or, if you are someone who consumes dairy products / is a milk-drinker...

Or, if you or someone that you love happens to eat food...

Why?...  Because Monsanto has contaminated America’s food-chain with its genetically modified (GM) seeds and crops and they've - with force - injected rGBH (recombinant bovine growth hormone) into U.S. milk production. Monsanto’s playbook tactics (ruthless legal battles against small farmers) are frightening.

Not only that, as an adherent of "To be fore-warned is to be fore-armed." (a.k.a. "Knowledge is Power"), I strongly-believe that people can only benefit from knowing facts about Monsanto's decades-long  (continuing...) history of toxic contamination, legal maneuvering and political plays.

US Cattle Cloned From Dead Animals. Demand Clone-Free Food Labels

In light of what you are about to read...

I encourage you to actively fight for Your Right To Be Informed About What, Exactly, Is In The Food That You Are Eating.

I feel that it's imperative for all of us to demand that the FDA approve either "Cloned Food" Labels Or "Clone-Free Food" Labels.

Why?

Check This Out...

I just stumbled across what I deem to be a significantly newsworthy story:

You'll never guess what the FDA is allowing into the US Food Supply...
Without Your Knowledge or Informed Consent?

What surprised me the most about this meaty morsel is...

The fact that this is a US-based story, regarding the US Food Supply/Chain.
It's about something which effects every single American...

Yet, the first and - so far - only article covering it from a major worldwide news source/outlet comes from the U.K?

From the BBC?
(Not that I'm unappreciative. I'm very grateful to them.)

But, why wasn't the first article/report...

No, wait...
(I had to double-check.)

Why isn't there any report coming out of ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.?

Here's a "taste"...

Enjoy!

Cattle 'Cloned From Dead Animals'
By Pallab Ghosh
Science correspondent, BBC News

"Some of the cattle cloned to boost food production in the US have been created from the cells of dead animals."

"Farmers say it is being done because it is only possible to tell that the animal's meat is of exceptionally high quality by inspecting its carcass."

"Cloning is not used by livestock farmers in Europe, and there are moves by some members of the European Parliament to ban it altogether."

"Two years ago, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that meat and milk from cloned animals were safe to eat. Ever since then, products from the offspring of cloned animals have entered the food chain."
