Know Your Genetically Modified Foods

Greenpeace is campaigning for agriculture that is good for the planet and people - healthy food grown with the environment, not against it and farming that will help us cope with climate change.

But the introduction of genetically modified (GM) food and crops has been a disaster, posing a serious threat to biodiversity and our own health. In addition, the real reason for their development has not been to end world hunger but to increase the stranglehold multinational biotech companies already have on food production.

The simple truth is, we don't need GM technology. Using sustainable and organic farming methods will allow us to repair the damage done by industrial farming, reducing the excessive use of fertiliser, herbicides and other man-made chemicals, and making GM crops redundant.

I have done a lot of research into how Monsanto genietically modified soya beans etc to overcome RoundUp Weedkiller. It is disgusting. They now have superweeds and failing crops so it has backfired. Donald Rumsfeld of Monsanto and Ronald Reagan passed Aspartame for human consumption t although Scientists at the time said it was not safe. It comes down to greed and disregard for society.

@brummiegrl Thank you very for your info. I sort of figure out that Monsanto obviously have political connections but directly with Rumsfeld !! wow It is amazing how they are getting away with all these. People should wake up, at least the signs are good with the Occupy movement.

@brummiegrl Donald Rumsfeld was president of Searle when Aspartame was approved.Searle was taken over by Monsanto.Rumsfeld CEO. Rumsfeld was believed to have made $12 million from the sale. Rense gives TIMELINE. Aspartame 11% Methanol turns into Formaldehyde in the body. Also Google Ramazzini 2005 rats pdf for study of aspartame on rats which were trialled with aspartame and autopsied. Leukaemia and Lymphoma prevalent. Google Aspartame safety.com and Sweet Misery also very enlighteing.

GM is the future and the solution to the impending food crisis. If you dont understand it, then fuck off!
