I completely agree. I am also willing. Stuff is so crazy I can't believe it's real most days.

how can you tell if you are buying GMO food ?


In Europe non meat/ diary products will be labelled. Unfortunately there is a loophole on meat/eggs/diary labelling so that they are allowed to be fed GMO feed and not have the end animal product labelled, so to avoid GMO it has to be organic.

In the America's there is no labelling, to avoid GMO's you need to eat USDA Organic (there may still be a little contamination, but it's the best we have.) Most processed products with these big 4 ingrediants: corn,soy, canola / cottonseed oil will more than likely be GMO, as will all meat/eggs/diary/cheese unless Organic, or 100% grass fed beef (but only for this year as GMO Alfalfa (grass) has now been approved by the FDA.
Papaya from Hawaii, some zuchini / squash / sugar beet/rice & some potato's are now also GMO, but no where near as much as the big 4.

Most other fruit and veggies are GMO free as are beans / pulses / wild caught fish (watch out for the suistainability list and eat small species to avoid mercury).

An easy way to start out is to remove any products from your shopping cart that contain high fructose corn syrup and soy. Each shopping trip replace one or two of your favourite processed items that contain these ingredients with an alternative that doesn't have them.

The other thing that people can do is help the folks trying to get a yes vote to mandatory GMO labelling in California this Novemeber 2012, they need money to combat the propaganda that Monsanto is going to spread to try to kill this initiative. Califoria has one of the largest economies in the world, if they pass the labelling law, chances are the companies will have the stuff labelled for all over the US, better yet they'll try to avoid the GMO ingredients to avoid the label as they did in Europe.

here's my previous thread on this:
The GMO Labeling Initiative WILL Be on the Ballot in California

Why is it worth the effort to avoid this stuff ?

The Academy reported that several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food, including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation (diabetes), and changes in major organs (liver/kidney/brain/heart) and the gastrointestinal system. The AAEM asked physicians to advise patients to avoid GM foods.

Typical behaviour by the EU centralist scum!

How dare they to infringe France's national sovereignity without any democratic legitimacy?!

Come on France, show us you still got that fire you used in 1789 to storm the Bastille!

FYI:
We don't get to vote for european parliament members.
That's right, not a single member of the EU parliament holds democratic legitimacy from the citizens of europe.

Blatant Corruption Exposed as EU Blocks France's Ban on Monsanto's GMO Maize


www.blacklistednews.com
Just after France legislators and officials moved to ban Monsanto’s genetically modified strain of GMO maize over environmental and health concerns, the European Union has decided to step in and re-secure Monsanto’s presence in the country — against the very will of the nation itself. This should come as no surprise when considering the fact that the United States ambassador to France, a business partner to George W. Bush, stated back in 2007 that nations who did not accept Monsanto’s GMO crops will be ‘penalized’. In fact, ambassador Craig Stapleton went as far as to say that the

That´s not a good argument. Every country is a young country. It´s as young as their youngest citizen is. As long as we don´t teach our children to do better, nothing happens. And to rais interest in politics.. whoaaa.. that´s a big duty!

I can´t believe the EU did this. I will make some research on Monsanto in my own country. Austria is kind of nr. one in naturally grown food. But it´s allowed to grow Mon 810 in Germany.
