Recall Round Up
Recall and BAN Round Up!
Humans are not Round Up Ready.Glyphosate is used off label to dry up wheat, beans, peas, and lentils for harvest, it does not wash off, or come off during processing, and bioaccumulates. Glyphosate also holds on to minerals essential for our health. Food grown in soil contaminated with glyphosate is has less minerals and vitamins that organic food grown in clean soil.

DuPont's Conflict of Canola Interest
Canola is in nearly everything. It is not healthy. And it is almost all GMO. I avoid any product with Canola unless it expressly reads Organic GMO free Canola. -- GFL

"DuPont's GMO Canola "safety study" has been exposed for what it truly is. Industry funded pseudo-science. Or perhaps nonsense is a better word. Both the test group and the control group were fed GMOs laced with Roundup.
The study was funded by DuPont, performed by DuPont employees and published in the Journal of Food & Chemical Toxicology, which is controlled by Dupont. And the biggest farce... the DuPont authors declare in their paper that "there are no conflicts of interest" – despite the fact that they are employees of the company that stands to profit from the market authorization of the GMO in question. And Bryan Delaney, the first author of the DuPont study, is also managing editor of FCT. That interest too goes undisclosed.
Yes, this is the same journal that retracted the 2 year independent 3 times peer reviewed Seralini GMO long term toxicity study which found that rats fed Roundup Ready GMO corn developed mammary tumors, organ damage and died prematurely. The Seralini study was republished in the Journal of Environmental Sciences Europe. And so goes the regulatory approval process for GMOs.
This leads us to ask: Do you feel safe?"

GMO Seed Pushers
The U.S. Government Has Tied El Salvador $277 million Aid Package to Monsanto’s GMO Seeds. In recent weeks, the U.S. has been pushing the El Salvadoran Government to sign the second Millennium Challenge Compact. One of the main conditions on the agreement is allegedly for the purchasing of GM seeds from Monsanto. At the end of 2013 it was announced that without ‘specific’ economic and environmental policy reforms, the U.S. government would not provide El Salvador with $277 million in aid money through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). It is now clear that by ‘specific reforms’ the MCC means reforms that allow GM crops and their associated pesticides to be forced on El Salvador’s Government and citizens. Is it a coincidence that the MCC delayed its initial agreed aid payments following the announcement by the El Salvador Government that they were banning the use of Glyphosate (Roundup) and 52 other dangerous chemicals in September 2013? Is it a coincidence that the glyphosate ban was overturned?

GMO Grass: Play Ball on the Cancer Causing Round Up Soaked Grass
Say good bye to grass fed beef.
This GMO was just passed on through the FDA and USDA --and
Drum roll..... it is being seeded on employee lawns NOW--- will be avail commercially next yr 2015 and in the big box stores by 2016 for the neighbors to incorporate into their lawns--- Scott's GMO Kentucky Bluegrass has been modified to protect it from being killed by Roundup produced by Monsanto.
Round Up is very toxic, recent study found that the inert undisclosed ingredients combined with the active ingredient Glyphosate is 125X more toxic than the active ingredient alone. Yet Monsanto only 'safety tested' Glyhosate. Why is this poison being sold to families, farmers, or anyone ever??
Why isn't the other 97% disclosed? |
--- All grass will be gmo ---
Pollen drift on a good day can be as far as 500 miles.
Biotech Buttkisser #1; USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack has urged caution as there can be cross contamination--- (and complete list on why Vilsack is a fox in the henhouse for Monsanto) yet, the Scott's employee's are essentially having their own open air test fields being told by Scotts to seed their lawns with the grass. Scott's is being expected to police themselves.Yes, that is as dumb as it sounded in your head when you read that sentence.
What the hell! How can a company unleash things like this into our Environment and we would be ok with this?
South Carolina, we have to get vocal on this. Or your kids could be playing on GMO grass growing in soccer fields, baseball fields, parks, schools and where ever else the GMO pollen drift goes.
