What are we eating? think twice before you conclude !!!

While people in the Middle East are fighting for their right to speak, choose and live, people in the USA are fighting for their right to know what is in their food, and to eat healthy clean food that won't harm their health and their kids health.And as different both ways of fighting are, they are both fighting for their freedom of choice,and their right to live. Both governments are killing their people in different ways for money and power.

The big food companies in the USA have managed to introduce lots of dangerous and unhealthy choices that serves no one but their profit and the dr. Office, and GMOs is one of few newly introduced food that hasn't been evaluated properly for safety.

We should have a choice to not be a part of this large scale GMO experiment that they are doing with our food, they are not only destroying our health, our soil, our bees, and our crops they are exporting it world wide, and it ll soon be impossible to remove these newly introduced toxins they put in our food and in our Environment. 

 

WHAT ARE WE EATING? When you eat a corn your most probably not suspecting that it has been modified in a lab, modified not look brighter or taste sweeter, it is modified to have an internal pesticide system!and to be resistant to a specific pesticide, which means you can spray it as much as you want. 

 
Is it safe?, no one knows but who cares, the USA doesn't require labeling GMOs, and most people are unaware of it anyway, eventually we will find out after making a big scientific experiment on US.







What are GMOs? 

 
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding.

GMOs are made in a lab with scientists and not in nature with cross breading. 

 
Are they safe?  

 
the U.S., the government has approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sale. 

In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs.

addition, allergy sufferers worry that, as genes are transferred between plants, allergenic proteins (from, say, peanuts or wheat) will pop up in unexpected places (like soy or sugar

To date most of the studies have been done on animals; worryingly, though, some of those studies link GM foods to altered metabolism, inflammation, kidney and liver malfunction, and reduced fertility. In one experiment, multiple generations of hamsters were fed a diet of GM soy; by the third generation, they were losing the ability to produce offspring, producing about half as many pups as the non-GM soy group. 


Independent research shows GMO foods and ingredients cause “serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects.” 

 
Why do we need GMOs? 

 
Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.

GMOs are created to be resistant to pesticides that the same company is selling to yield more profit, not to make the customer happier or the farmer wealthier.

What are the impacts of GMOs on the environment?

Over 80% of all GMOs grown worldwide are engineered for herbicide tolerance. As a result, use of toxic herbicides like Roundup has increased 15 times since GMOs were introduced. GMO crops are also responsible for the emergence of “super weeds” and “super bugs:’ which can only be killed with ever more toxic poisons, GMOs are a direct extension of chemical agriculture, and are developed and sold by the world’s biggest chemical companies. The long-term impacts of GMOs are unknown.

According to The Wall Street Journal, “Insecticide sales are surging after years of decline, as American farmers plant more corn and a genetic modification designed to protect the crop from pests has started to lose its effectiveness.”

How to avoid GMOs?


Buy USDA Organic.
Look for the Non-GMO Project Verified seal
Buy brands that are sourced to be free of GMOs such as Trader Joe's labeled foods or Whole Foods Market's 365 Daily Value labeled foods. 
Since most corn and soy are GMO, choose organic or a brand that sources their items to be free of GMOs when you eat these foods. This includes sweet corn, corn tortillas, corn oil, corn chips, tofu, edamame, soy milk, and baby formula.
Instead of canola, corn, soy, or cottonseed, choose extra virgin olive oil, organic canola oil (cold pressed), or safflower oil.
Sugar and high fructose corn syrup are another source of GMOs. 
Most Hawaiian papaya and some yellow crookneck squash, zucchini, and are all genetically modified. Buy these foods organic. 
most processed food like cereals and cookies contain GMO ingredients in some form or anther
