#Repost @collective_evolution ・・・ The global resistance against Genetically Modified Crops is growing at an exponential rate. A few years ago, you were almost ridiculed for suggesting that GM foods could be a problem, and now scientists and researchers are presenting information that has 19 new countries joining an already long list of nations to completely ban, or have severe restrictions on, GMOs — as well as the pesticides that go with them. These countries will not allow genetically modified crops to be grown in their country. The opt-out countries are requesting that biotechnology companies exclude their territories from GMO seed sales, and some countries, according to RT news, are simply putting things to a halt until more research is conducted. For those of you who do not know, GMO crops have had their DNA artificially altered, which is a process that would not happen in nature, that being said genetic modification does happen in nature, just of a different type. What we have done, is introduce genes from a completely different species in oder to boost the plant’s resistance to pests or herbicides, or create some other desired effect.

#Repost @gmofreeusa_official ・・・ Breaking News: Internal Monsanto documents released by attorneys leading U.S. cancer litigation against Monsanto show that the company led a concerted campaign to force the retraction of a study that revealed toxic effects of Roundup, using tactics once used by the tobacco industry. The documents also show that A. Wallace Hayes, the editor of the journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, that first published the study entered into a contract with Monsanto in the period shortly before the retraction campaign began. Monsanto paid Hayes $400 an hour, but Hayes lied and told the New York Times that he wasn't contracted with Monsanto until after the Seralini study retraction. The study, led by Prof Gilles-Éric Séralini, showed that very low doses of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide and GMO corn had toxic effects on rats over a long-term period, including serious liver and kidney damage. The newly released documents show that throughout the retraction campaign, Monsanto tried to cover its tracks to hide its involvement. Monsanto has now been caught red-handed playing the central role in retracting a study that should have never been retracted.

#Repost @gmofreeusa_official ・・・ Sen. Murkowski Introduces GMO Salmon Labeling Bill (S.1528): Despite the DARK Act being passed last fall, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has just introduced (co-sponsored by Senators Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and Jeff Merkley (D-OR), new legislation to mandate the labeling of genetically engineered salmon. “The primary purpose of this bill is to ensure that consumers have all the facts and can make an informed decision when they are purchasing salmon. There’s a huge difference between ‘Frankenfish’ and the wild, healthy, sustainably-caught, delicious real thing – and I want to make sure folks are aware of that. I will not accept that this ‘fake fish’ will be sold in stores without clear labeling,” said Senator Murkowski. “Additionally, this bill would create a much-needed review of the environmental assessment process within the FDA for the approval of these new species that are being created in labs. The potential for escapement from pens to occur from hatcheries and any facility where fish are grown would decrease the immense value of our fisheries. These ‘Frankenfish’ could wreak havoc upon wild stocks and pose a serious threat to the livelihoods of fishermen everywhere. Americans deserve to know exactly what the effects of these new species will be upon the ecosystem.” READ: https://www.murkowski.senate.gov/press/release/murkowski-introduces-ge-salmon-labeling-bill- CONTACT your Senators and ask them to co-sponsor S.1528 Genetically Engineered Salmon Labeling Act.

#Repost @gmofreeusa_official ・・・ LABEL GMOs: As the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) develops final rules on GMO labeling requirements over the next year, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) and fellow lawmakers called on new USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue to ensure labeling standards are consumer-friendly, fair, and transparent. “Nine out of ten Americans consistently report they want the right to know if their food is produced with genetic engineering, the same right held by consumers in 64 other countries. As the USDA works to establish a mandatory, national disclosure standard for GMO foods, we write to express our strong belief that USDA needs to meet consumer expectations, be consistent with international standards and be inclusive of all Americans – including consumers without smartphones, rural residents and the elderly. We expect USDA’s mandatory GMO disclosure standard to apply to all GMO foods, including foods which contain ingredients like highly refined sugars and oils, as well as foods produced with new genetic engineering techniques.” In July 2016, Congress passed weak GMO labeling standards into law (the DARK Act) that create a confusing web of disclosure options, allowing companies to choose between on-package text, a USDA-regulated symbol, or an electronic or digital link (e.g., QR code). While Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has long supported transparent right-to-know labeling requirements, she strongly opposed the legislation signed into law because it undermines Hawai’i and other states’ ability to mandate GMO labeling (the DARK Act outlaws states from passing their own GMO labeling bills), exempts many common foods from labeling requirements, and creates unnecessary extra steps for consumers to access basic ingredient information. The legislation also raised concerns by the FDA, as well as various environmental, food security, and consumer interest groups. - Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

#Repost @nrdc_org ・・・ Today, let’s demonstrate gratitude to our indigenous sisters and brothers, and join the United Nations to celebrate its International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We are all indebted to these communities for their hard work and sacrifice to make our planet a more livable place. And we stand with them in the fight for a more equitable world. #IndigenousDay

#Repost @gmofreeusa_official ・・・ Put a label on Froot Loops. WARNING: CONTAINS GMOs & CARCINOGENIC WEEDKILLER. Demand that Kellogg's remove the pesticide-laced GMOs: http://gmofreeusa.org/take-action/boycott-kelloggs-campaign/boycotts-kelloggs-consumers We sent Kellogg’s Froot Loops to independent labs to test for GMOs and glyphosate, the so-called active ingredient in herbicide concoctions used on the majority of GMO crops. The tests confirmed what Kellogg’s is trying to hide. The corn is 100% GMO corn, containing DNA sequences known to be present in insecticide-producing Bt and Roundup Ready corn. The soy contained DNA sequences known to be present in Roundup Ready GMO soy. If you don’t find that appetizing, you surely won’t savor the thought of eating toxic weedkiller. Froot Loops contained worrying levels of endocrine-disrupting, carcinogenic glyphosate as well. And they market this to children?? BOYCOTT KELLOGG’S! Hold Kellogg’s accountable.
