 The World According to Monsantoby Marie-Monique Robin The book tells the shocking story of how the new "green" face of the world's leading producer of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) is no less malign than its PCB- and Agent Orange-soaked past. Following its long history of manufacturing hazardous chemicals and lethal herbicides, Monsanto now controls the majority of the yield of the world's genetically modified corn and soy-ingredients found in more than 95 percent of American households-and its alarming legal and political tactics to maintain this monopoly are the subject of worldwide concern.

It's so easy to make chocolate syrup from scratch...less than 10 minutes! If you're a prepper, you should already have all the ingredients in your long term food storage: salt, sugar, vanilla, and cocoa powder.Subjects: resource, NO High Fructose Corn Syrup, No GMO, sugar, chocolate, cocoa, salt, vanilla From Sterility to Stomach Holes: 11 Scientific Reasons Why You Must Avoid GMOs Nowby Sarah Ages: 14+It is estimated that over 80% of processed foods now contain genetically modified organisms, also called GMOs. The rapidity with which these frankenfoods have invaded and continue to expand within our food supply is nothing short of terrifying.Subjects: GMO, dangers, dangers, unhealthy, processed, Monsanto's Roundup Ready, GMO beets, sugar cane, growing children, Journal of Organic Systems, Food and Chemical Toxicology Grass fed does not mean organicby Kali Sinclair Ages: 18+Cattle raised in feed lots live their lives in unsanitary, inhumane conditions. The concentration of many animals in a small, confined space leads to disease and pollution from waste. Animals are routinely treated with antibiotics (70% of the antibiotics in the U.S. are used for livestock), and the animals are not allowed the freedom or room to exercise. Their feed is unnatural to their diets. In addition, much of their feed is GMO.Subjects: resource, grass fed beef, antibiotics, GMO, natural diet, organic, USDA Grass Feed Division, antibiotics How to Make Mayonnaise Ages: 14+It is so simple to make delicious, homemade mayonnaise, with your own wholesome ingredients...no stabilizers, no preservative, no additives.

In America alone, over a half billion bottles of ketchup are sold every year. Unfortunately, this ketchup is usually full of high fructose corn syrup - definitely not part of a healthy diet!Subjects: resource, high fructose corn syrup, lactofermented, gmo, enzyme, cayenne peppe, liquid whey, fish sauce, Is Organic Always GMO Free? Ages: 14+Buying 100% Organic, Certified Organic, and USDA Organic-labeled products is usually the easiest way to identify and avoid genetically modified ingredients. If USDA certification requires at least 95% of content to be organic, and a GMO ingredient can't be included in that 5%, then USDA Organic is GMO-free, right? Not always. Depending on the product, sometimes there are tiny loopholes.Subjects: GMO free, genetically modified foods, organic products, loophole list, organic certification procedures, GMO contamination, organic farmers, genetically engineered Kentucky Bluegrass, USDA Organic  Genetically modified foodby Wikipedia Ages: 18+The DNA of genetically modified organisms has been modified through genetic engineering, unlike similar food organisms developed through the conventional genetic modification of selective breeding or mutation breeding.

Whitman Ages: 16+The term GM foods or GMOs is most commonly used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques. These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides. The enhancement of desired traits has traditionally been undertaken through breeding, but conventional plant breeding methods can be very time consuming and are often not very accurate.Subjects: resource, GM foods, FDA, pollen, studies, regulatory procedure, government, crop plants, pesticides, geneticists, food supply, pest resistance, herbicide  How to Avoid-Genetically-Modified-Foodsby Serj Sagan Ages: 18+Whether genetically modified (GM) foods are safe or harmful is still controversial. Most foods we eat may contain ingredients derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)--everything from baby formula and food to our dairy to even our meat. If you live in Europe, avoiding GM foods is easier since laws require labeling. However in the US and Canada food manufacturers are not required to label if their food is genetically modified or not.Subjects: resource, history, article, Europe, genetically modified foods, labeling, guidelines, list, law, US, Canada, super market
Irrefutable evidence that GMO can harm you! Ages: 18+Nature is a living organism that functions through every cell and organ that is working together. There is nothing isolated in nature and everything is connected with one another. All these years, science has been trying to discover and explore complexity that exists in nature. In the last few decades one of the crisis that our planet has been facing is modern agricultural. Extensive farming, use of pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, genetically modified foods or crops and invention of hormones and antibiotic that are fed to our livestock have drastically changed everything.Subjects: GMO, GM food, crops, risks, health, environmental health, DNA, science, living organism, Monsanto, hormones, antibiotic Quotes from FDA Scientists Ages: 18+Key documents revealing the hazards of Genetically Modified foods and flaws with how the agency made its policy. You will see scanned reproductions (exact copies) of some of the Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) internal memoranda about the hazards of genetically engineered foods. These documents became available through the Alliance for Bio-Integrity's lawsuit (Alliance for Bio-Integrity et al., vs. Shalala, et

That in turn has led to stronger warnings over the consequences of such food for health and the environment. These concerns have been raised in Bonn again as more than 3,000 delegates from 147 countries met for the UN conference on biosafety. The conference has sought to ensure safe use of modern biotechnology.Subjects: article, GM foods, France, environment, biosafety, agriculture, food production, organic, contaminationLocation: Bonn Introduction: GM Organisms Ages: 16+GM technology has now been applied to almost all forms of life, from bacteria to goats. Is it the future? Start deciding for yourself with our beginner's guide. By far the most common genetically modified (GM) organisms are crop plants. But the technology has now been applied to almost all forms of life, from pets that glow under UV light to bacteria which form HIV-blocking "living condoms" and from pigs bearing spinach genes to goats that produce spider silk.Subjects: resource, technology, GMO, European anti-GM food campaign, labelling laws, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, engineered crops, frankenfood, environment, environmentalists, globalisation Labelling of GMO Productsby GMO Compass Ages: 18+Freedom of Choice for Consumers - GMO labelling was introduced to give consumers the freedom to choose between GMOs and conventional products. Essentially, if a foodstuff is produced using genetic engineering, this must be indicated on its label. Actual labelling practice, however, is far more complicated...

The gigantic bio-tech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years. A genetically engineered food is a plant or meat product that has had its DNA artificially altered in a laboratory by genes from other plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria in order to produce foreign compounds in that food. This type of genetic alteration is not found in nature and is experimental. Many of the foods we currently eat and feed our families (including certain baby formulas and a high percentage of corn, soy, cotton and sugar beets commonly used in processed foods sold in the U.S.), but we don't know which ones without labeling.Subjects: video, Monsanto, PCBs, GMO, food, water, contaminated, cancer, diabetes, pregnancyLocation: Alabama
