Genetically modified food has entered the food supply through secrecy and deception. Some claimed that genetically modifying the food supply could even put an end to world hunger. At first glance, genetic modification really does look like a great idea. It allows for larger crops, enhanced growing seasons, and even bigger animals. The truth of the matter is that genetically modified food has been shown to sterilize the population, lead to infant mortality, and exacerbate the usage of pesticides on a global scale.
The world is quickly realizing that there is no benefit to consuming and producing genetically modified food. The consumers are speaking out, and their voice is being heard. Food free of genetically modified ingredients is the fastest growing retail brand. As the information surrounding GM (genetically modified) food rose to the mainstream media, the people began to anger. They were looking for someone to blame for allowing this atrocity occur, and they had to look no farther than Monsanto.
The Monsanto corporation is a multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. It is responsible for producing and selling genetically engineered seeds. These are the seeds that yield genetically modified crops. Monsanto has such a grip on the industry, that it produces 90% of the United State’s genetically engineered seeds. This is the same company responsible for the development of bovine growth hormone, which incited mass controversy over its effects. It was determined by many health experts to be extremely dangerous, with many linking it to cancer and other life-threatening conditions.
Numerous studies have proven genetically modified foods to be an extreme health hazard, but one must only look at how it is created to realize how unsafe GM food really is.
How It Is Made
The following is an excerpt from Blind Health: Forbes Magazine Declares Monsanto Company of the Year, an article I authored that exposes GM foods. The article was featured on multiple top news websites.
The genetic modification process is potentially harmful to your own genetic coding, according to many health experts.
The bioengineering process itself is quite ridiculous. Billions are spent each year to genetically modify the food supply, tainting it with genetically modified frankenfood. Genetically modifying foods requires one to tamper with the very genetic coding of the crop and/or seed. The process entails the transfer of genes from one organism to another, such as taking particular genes from a pig and transferring them to a tomato. Not only does this defile nature, but it leads to a host of health problems.
Due to the complexity of a living organism’s genetic structure, it is impossible to track the long-term results of consuming genetically modified food. Introducing new genes into even the most simple bacterium may cause an array of issues, highlighting the complexity of even the simplest organisms. Introducing new genes to highly complex organisms such as animals or crops is even riskier.
When introducing the gene to its new host, it is essentially impossible to predict the reaction. The genetic intelligence of the host could be disrupted with the introduction of the new gene, creating an adverse reaction. There is truly no way of knowing the long-term effect genetically modified food, as there are too many variables. There is simply no room for science when Monsanto is involved.
The World Takes Action
What the world is beginning to see is a swift call to action against not only genetic modification of the food supply, but against the contamination of our food supply worldwide. The people are beginning to demand that high fructose corn syrup be taken out of their food, and that aspartame be removed from products like diet soda and chewing gum. Big corporations love to push such food abominations upon us, but sooner or later the citizens demand action.
India has recently begun to recognize the dangers of genetically modified food, calling for a multitude of scientific studies to determine whether or not the food poses a threat. The people of India had been calling for a change that the government was forced to recognize.
“Public sentiment is negative. It is my duty to adopt a cautious, precautionary, principle-based approach,” said Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh.
Even in the United States, Monsanto is currently under investigation by seven states. Since so many concerned citizens are demanding something to be done about genetically modified, the government of your nation is forced to respond. Through activism and spreading the word, genetically modified food can easily be made a sad mistake of the past.
Hi I saw your article and thought it would really be something our readers would enjoy and not seeing a copyright I am posting it in full, I hope you don’t mind. We are a rapidly growing people powered news site and our readers really seem to enjoy the alternative news. I hope you will drop by and post your things in the future. It is absolutely free and I think you would bring a good deal of attention to your blog.
Good article, I try to eat as much organic as I can but it can be hard
What nonsense. Can’t you think of better things to do with you imaginations than to fantasize about the unsupported claims of the dangers of GM foods? Think about the reality of their benefits, not about why millions must die because someone is superstitious and gullible with an overactive imagination.
What nonsense, my grandfather works in the agricultural industry and owns a large plot of farmland and from what he says, the only reason that we haven’t starved yet is because the SAFER GM food yields bushels
We can’t rely on someone’s grandpa, or a dufus to interpret the truth. God warned us in the Bible against hybridizing seeds and humans, and it is going on again! (It happened before the great flood.) THis time God is coming in person to clean things up! Very soon in fact. Don’t be a dufus. Christ is real, and boy, is He mad!!! Please look into Jesus, before it;s too late!
it’s a really nice article. well me too i try so hard to eat organic food because here in algéria we don’t have a lot of organic food.
fuck of bible basher

not true, Monsanto couldve ended world hunger with their GM CROPS, but wont, they want to profit of the starving and screw over other farmers profits from their seeds that blow and grow into their crops. We need more Independent agricultural scientists like the great Norman Borlaug who saved over A BILLION people who were STARVING to DEATH to get out there and make a difference.
to protest and stop harmless crops from entering famin filled countries, leaving famin to continue is so incredibly selfish and evil. The GM CROPS are made so the crops can grow in their foreign soil.
“Why is anyone fighting food advance? A very small percentage of the world’s population is fortunate enough to have the luxury of turning down food. The rest of the world spends most of its time trying to get any food. You know why? Technological problems. They’ve got dirt. They’ve got water. They’ve got sun. They lack the technical ability to till or enrich the soil. They lack the machines to plant enough to feed their families. They lack the hybrid plants that produce more food per acre. We need to spread all the technology all we can so all people everywhere can deal with the problem of too much food. We can’t start getting picky because we’ve got enough food. That’s just self-centered, and racist. Unless you and yours are starving, you need to shut the fuck up!”
-Penn Jillete
Just like George W. Bush, you like to pretend you know what you are talking about to look like a hero. You can actually BE a hero and try to help end famin, by taking action?, Now that’s a little harder isn’t it.
i think that genetic modifaction is a good idea if you also eat natural food also.
I think that genetic modification is a good idea if you only eat organic food.
This article is bullshit. It’s wrong.
THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING WRONG BITCHES! FUCKING FIX THIS SHIT! I FUCKING AGREE WITH MOTHERFUCKING PETERS. TIS ARTICLE FUCKING IS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!
