Most of the wheat and corn and derivatives are GMO about 85% in the US used for processed food.

Wheat has not been genetically modified and released, if that happened I would not stand idle.
Also take note that Hugh Grant, the CEO of Monsanto, eats organic food.

I doubt if asked publically to eat an all GMO food diet that any CEOs/employees for major GMO companies would agree to it.

The overwhelming majority of the human population will stand no chance in front of ANY government regulation.

Some will store and grow their own food. Most likely this would have to be done (soon) for your own consumption ONLY. Selling the produce could land you in jail. The solutions are very few...because we are too many and too ignorant.

We can rant here on ATS, or anywhere else, about every aspect of governmental control, and "they" would not care, simply because mass ignorance is a FACT.

If you look at it as a field battle, where you have two camps:

IGNORANT, DIVIDED & SCARED/COWARD POPULATION versus GOVERNMENTS + CORPORATIONS + BANKS, then what do any of you think the outcome of that battle will be?!

It doesn't matter what the scenarios are, the outcome remains the same, unless the first part of the equation changes, and changes fast, from:

IGNORANT to EDUCATED and INQUIRING
DIVIDED to UNITED UNDER ONE COMMON ELEMENT - THAT OF BEING A HUMAN BEING
SCARED/COWARD to COURAGEOUS, DARING, FIRM and DISCIPLINED

Does anyone here sees any signs of that population transformation? Even if it happens, we are too slow..

Resistance takes a long time to build. Be a part of that process and don't stand alone. This planet equally "belongs" to every single human being, as well as their right to live.

Understand and spread RESPECT. Train. Reach across divisions. Otherwise, it really won't matter what they do to the food....or how they label it.

So I see it's been a year... Wonder what's happening on this front?

I just bought some food labeled specifically "non-GMO corn." I'm guessing they're not as successful as they'd hoped.

California has gotten enough signatures to force the labeling issue to the Nov 2012 ballot....

Now we will see a massive propaganda onslaught from Monsanto to try to kill this.

Fingers crossed for the grass roots campaign

Starred and flagged. I grow my own herbs and some of my own veggies, planning on growing more veg and fruit next year. Normally, I am not opposed to genetic experimentation, research, and development, but there are boundaries that really should not be crossed.

Adding genes from one plant to another via research does not bother me. Because in some ways, we have been doing it for thousands of years, via hybrids and natual mutation preservation. But still, nothing completely against the natural order, since plants are part of the same kingdom.

It's when you start crossing kingdom barriers, such as adding animal genes to plants, or fungus genes to animals, that I object to. And when it comes to animals, I'm even more stricter and opposed to GM, even if genes are added from other animals. Animals are more complex organisms than plants.

Flouride in the water never bothered me much, but GMO does. They are pushing these food crops on people without doing their homework on health, safety, and long term consequences. That's a big no from me.


Just wanted to say that the engineering technique is so sloppy that even adding gene's from another similar plant could be dangerous, because they basically cause a lot of damage to the genome during the process. They have no way of inserting the additional gene's into a predetermined place, where they could be sure it's only going to have the effect they intended without altering anything else in the plant. The gene could end up in multiple spots, deleting or destroying other gene expression, up regulating other gene’s.. They do not test for everything that could be caused. Not only that with plants I cannot produce millions of cloned seeds right now either, so not all the seeds will have the same "changes" with regard to the transformation process.

I'm also not keen on adding Flouride in the water, it is a toxic compound which at 70ppm (there have been accidents with too much added in the past) can cause vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, fever, and other effects. Higher amountscan be lethal to people with heart problems. Most of Europe does not add it to the water, there is more than enough in toothpaste.

Not much. The original source is known for ... hyperinflating stories... to make them more alarming to their followers.
