Round Up in 75% of Air & Rain Samples

The GMO farming system has made exposure to Roundup herbicide a daily fact of our existence, and according to the latest US Geological Survey study its probably in the air you are breathing.

Dirty McCrory creates filth in the Dan River

South Carolina should be very concerned about the environmental disasters that are taking place in our neighboring states.

What does this have to do with food?

Everything.

When you poison the waters and the land, food will not grow, no matter how much we label it.

The Dan River has been exposed to 35 million gallons of coal ash and waste water per a study done by Wake Forest University. This is the third largest spill of its kind. (source)

And as the saying goes, shit rolls down hill..

Hey there SC and GA didn't see you there--- ((Wink-- Wink))

 Why are conservative states so pro corporation? Because that is where the money is. They can distract the Women by whipping them up into a "Save the Babies from Abortions" frenzy and whip the men  up by claiming they are coming for the 'gun and want us all in FEMA camps".  This kind of control is what happens when you under fund Education. All the smart people leave the State and you are left with those with few options, low IQ, and easily manipulated. How else can a large demographic repeatedly vote against its own best interests? Over and over again. 
Conservative states across the board  rank low in Health, Education, and protecting the Environment. Why? Because none of those three things will net corporations or politicians any revenue. 

Dirty politicians like McCrory will likely find plush six figure jobs in the private sector out of state, or high up on a mountain with cool bottled water wondering what all the fuss is about, not having to deal with contaminated water and land like his constituents; who more than likely voted him into office will have to face for the next 20-40 yrs.  

Don't pay attention to the other hand

NC has been imposing tiny fines to keep private lawsuits from forcing Duke Energy to clean up its act. Governor McCrory worked for Duke for over 20 years and arguably he still is working for them. Environmental organizations are fighting against the collusion between the state and Duke energy  do nothing to clean up these dangerous ash piles along NC's waterways.

“Industry does everything they can and gets away with it almost all the time, whether it’s the coal industry, not the subject of this hearing, or water or whatever. They will cut corners, and they will get away with it. " Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D, WVa

WTF?

I am waiting on campaign promises of GMO labeling to happen Mr. President. I support you and respect your office but the citizens and families of the United States of America are screaming for food safety and GMO labeling. You have allowed the fox in the hen house in the FDA by appointing Monsanto VP Michael Taylor. Have you lost your mind? Or just your conscious?
Unplug yourself from Monsanto--- GMOFreeLowcountry

We're fighting tooth and nail to get GMOs labeled and what does Michelle Obama give us? More info about calories. America wants to know if their food contains Roundup Ready, pesticide producing, made in a laboratory by chemical companies, GMOs.
As a parent and a consumer we should be able to walk into our local grocery store, pick up an item off the shelf, and be able to tell whether it's good for our family.
GMOs are not good for our families. We want it on the label so we have the freedom to choose. 64 countries around the world do it and it's about time your good husband held up his campaign promise to label GMOs. No more distractions, please. We're not buying it. We need to know if it's GMO.

Five New Reasons Monsanto’s ‘Science’ Doesn’t Add Up

OCA's "Five New Reasons Monsanto’s ‘Science’ Doesn’t Add Up"

To hear the pesticide and junk food marketers of the world tell it, anyone who questions the value, legitimacy or safety of GMO crops is naïve, anti-science and irrational to the point of hysteria.

But how long can Monsanto ignore the mounting actual scientific evidence that their technology is not only failing to live up to its promises, it’s putting public health at risk?

Jim Goodman, farmer, activist and member of the Organic Consumers Association policy advisory board, recently wroteabout Monsanto’s deceptive use of the expression “sound science.”

But, ‘sound science’ has no scientific definition. It does not mean peer reviewed, or well documented research. ‘Sound science’ is only a term, an ideological term, used to support a particular point of view, policy statement or a technology. ‘Sound science’ is little more than the opinions of so-called “experts” representing corporate interests.

Simply put, ‘sound science’ always supports the position of industry over people, corporate profit over food safety, the environment and public health.

Here are five new reports and studies, published in the last two months, that blow huge holes in Monsanto’s “sound science” story. Reports of everything from Monsanto’s Roundup causing fatal, chronic kidney disease to how, contrary to industry claims, Roundup persists for years, contaminating soil, air and water. And oh-by-the-way, no, GMO crops will not feed the world, nor have they reduced the use of herbicides and pesticides.

1.   Monsanto’s Roundup linked to fatal, chronic kidney disease. Article in Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, February 2014

What happens when you mix glyphosate, the key active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, with “hard” water? That is, water that contains metals, such as calcium, magnesium, strontium and iron, either found naturally in the soil, or resulting from the use of chemical fertilizers?

The glyphosate becomes “extremely toxic” to the kidneys. 

New GMO Studies Demonstrate ‘Substantial Non-Equivalence’

This is very major:

New GMO Studies Demonstrate ‘Substantial Non-Equivalence’

Studies document substantial differences of GM maize and GM soybean from their conventional non-GM counterparts, exposing a permissive regulatory regime that has failed miserably in protecting public health and biodiversity Dr Eva Sirinathsinghji.

Several new studies carried out by scientists independent of the biotech industry are showing up glaring differences between GMOs and their non-GMO counterparts. This makes a mockery of the regulatory principle of ‘Substantial Equivalence’ which has facilitated approvals of GMOs with practically no protection for public health and the environment [1] (see [2] The Principle of Substantial equivalence is Unscientific and Arbitrary, ISIS news).

Let's Play in Poison

SIGN the petition to demand that Scotts stop their Roundup Ready GMO grass:

Dear Girl Scouts of America

Dear Girl Scout Council,

I love you cookies, but I can't eat them or feed them to my family. 
I am sure you are aware by now they have GMOs in them. 
My family doesn't purchase products with GMOs in them. 
I miss my samoas and lemonades,... and thin mints too.

We'd like you to make your cookies like Simply Eight, who just got their first product NON GMO Project Verified. We're not buying Kellogg's Keebler division GMO Girl Scout Cookies any more.


Yours truly,

America and Moms of the Lowcountry



Thank Simply Eight for making Non GMO Project Verified cookies: www.facebook.com/simplyeight
