This is a resource blog for GMO Free News, a Google Hangout hosted by women for women who want to know what is in their food.
Now an estimated 80 percent of processed food in the U.S. contains ingredients from crops altered in the lab to make them hardier, more resistant to disease and pests, and more tolerant of herbicides.
I second the criticism of Elizabeth Warren. Hope others "call her out" publically; she's changed her position since the criticism started but she's not a strong supporter. I don't really understand how a person who defends citizen's "right to know" about what goes into their pockets doesn't care about a citizen's right to know about what goes into our bodies!
I have written a petition about mandatory research NOW at whitehouse.gov where WE THE PEOPLE is. I put the petition out on Nov. 14. It needs 100,000 signatures in the next 30 days. Please, please everyone sign the petition! This is going to the US President, House of Representatives, and Senate.
I have gotten sick from GMO products. Bees are disappearing. This is a petition for mandatory research to tell us what GMO's are doing to people, bees, and water. I fear there is a day coming when they find out that GMO foods are literally killing us. Why else would Monsanto fight to keep GMO's off of labels????

ReplyDeleteI think that pig study has had more scientific debate than positive feedback on that study.
ReplyDeleteGreat talk, thank you Diane Russell and organizers. Useful information and a great budding group. Save the bees!
