... we are 'largely unaware' because these foods are not labeled they contain GM ingredients.. even through 90% of consumers continuously state they want them so labeled.
... regulatory bodies and government are staffed with pro-GM people, a veritable revolving door from government to industry... a very serious issue that must be confronted and resolved.
... there are by design minimal requirements for independent testing of GM crops and foods.
... there is significant correlation between the increase in incidence of serious health problems and the introduction of various GM crops into our foods.
... more drastic are the cases of animals dying following their consumption of GM crops... not only lab test animals but farm animals.
... Monsanto and the biotech industry are well on their way to controlling the world`s seed markets.
... favorite fruits, vegetables and grains are being readied for the GM market that views us as guinea pigs.
This is an extremely serious issue... the real discussion should be about the audacity and illegitimate way GM crops have been forced on a reluctant United States and world.. and the money, corruption, politics and obfuscation characterizing its' rise to dominance.
The discussion should focus on how GM crops have taken over our food supply with little concern for safety or our right to choose, and our government's direct hand and continued complicity in support of corporate interests.
