Right to Know Act

 Tell Congress to Support the 
Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act

This spring, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) introduced the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act, bipartisan legislation that would require the FDA to label all genetically modified foods.

“Americans have the right to know what is in the food they eat so they can make the best choices for their families,” Senator Boxer said. “This legislation is supported by a broad coalition of consumer groups, businesses, farmers, fishermen and parents who all agree that consumers deserve more – not less – information about the food they buy.”

How is GMO/GE Corn Made?

Have you ever wondered how GMO corn is made?

Roundup Ready Corn is genetically engineered corn that has had its DNA modified to withstand the herbicide glyphosate (the active ingredient in Monsanto's herbicide Roundup). It is also known as "glyphosate tolerant corn." Roundup Ready corn was first deregulated in the U.S. in 1997 and first commercialized in the U.S. in 1998. One variety of RR Corn, NK603, was linked to tumors in rats in the Seralini study last year.

80% of Processed Food is GMO

Reprinted from Natural News
(NaturalNews) According to the new book Rich Food, Poor Food, ingredients commonly found in up to 80 percent of all pre-packaged foods on grocers shelves in the U.S. have been banned in other countries. As alarming as such information is, our food safety outlook becomes even bleaker when we consider other banned and toxic food items.

The toxic banned ingredients in our food

In the book, authors Mira and Jason Calton provide a list of banned ingredients which they term "Banned Bad Boys" as well as the countries which have banned them. Among the items is Olestra - commonly used in low/no-fat snack foods and known to cause serious gastrointestinal issues - which has been banned in the United Kingdom and Canada.

Nestle says GMOs are safe; no illness from GMO

Nestle CEO says Organic is Not Best, GMOs are Safe

Peter Brabeck, Chief Executive Officer of the world’s largest food company, Nestle Corporation, is shown in a video explaining some topics that are not only odd but also a bit disturbing, especially coming from a business that claims to be “the world’s leading Nutrition, Health and Wellness company”.
In the video, Brabeck tells viewers that mankind’s belief that anything from nature is a good thing is a great misconception today. He detailed that in today’s day and age, we as humans are able to ‘provide a balance’ to nature. Giving an example of how modern society believes nature is good, he says, “A good example is the organic movement…organic is now best” but contends that by saying, “But organic is not best.” Interestingly he does not give any explanations to back his assertion though.
