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. 


GMO Grass: Green, Lush--and Toxic

A wonderful article written yesterday about our Charleston March March Against Monsanto--
We have some Pro-GMO comments on the article already--- Wanna pop over and show your support for labeling??

EPA Comments on 2,4D & Glyphosate Action Alert

Action Alert:

EPA is taking comments about approving 2,4 D and glyphosate combo

http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/2-4-d-glyphosate.html

From Dr. Mercola, who summed it up well:

"Agent Orange is no longer produced -- so why am I bringing it up now?
Because Dow AgroSciences (a subsidiary of Dow Chemicals), who was one of the original manufacturers of Agent Orange (AO), has developed a new generation of genetically modified (GM) crops -- soybeans, corn and cotton -- that are designed to resist a major ingredient in AO: the herbicide called 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).
The use of 2,4-D, however, is not new, as it is actually one of the most widely used herbicides in the world.
What is new – and disturbingly so – is that now that staple crops like soy and corn have been engineered to be resistant to 2,4-D, it may soon be applied to U.S. arable land on an unprecedented scale -- not unlike its indiscriminate application during Vietnam.
The whole point of engineering resistance to an herbicide within a GMO plant, of course, is so that you can "carpet bomb" an entire field, leaving only your "Frankenfoods" standing, without having to exert even a fraction of the effort required raise crops organically and sustainably.
In fact, if 2,4-D resistant crops receive approval and eventually come to replace Monsanto's failing Roundup-resistant crops as Dow intends, it is likely that billions of pounds will be needed, on top of the already insane levels of Roundup now being used (1.6 billion lbs were used in 2007 in the US alone!)."

Herbicide use in action. 

 

What the Action Alert??

Heed the Action Alerts! 

They are often actions you can do from the comfort of your own home or office-- Petitions, comments, letter writing, postcard drives--- every voice counts. Together we are making a huge difference.

Dr. Oz Talks GMOs

GMOs are getting some airtime on the mainstream, I really like how he illustrates how the engineering has not stopped our use of pesticides, but increased them exponentially.

Most folks want to chose have a choice in feeding their families foods with GMO ingredients or foods with low pesticide use. GMOs came onto the market with the promise of higher yields, lower pesticide use. Yields on GMO crops fall after an initial increase, pesticide use has increased, super-weeds circumvent the Round Up (glyphosate) being sprayed on them and several insects have evolved to survive the pesticide sprays and the Bt crops that produce their own internal pesticides. Nature seems to find a way.
