Genetically engineered foods: Experts expose the SERIOUS THREATS to your 
health and how corporations like Monsanto hide the facts. Are you and 
your family on the wrong side of a bet?

New evidence points to genetically engineered foods as a major 
contributor to rising disease rates in the US population, especially 
among children. Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory 
diseases, and infertility are just some of the problems implicated in 
humans, pets, livestock, and lab animals that eat genetically modified 
soybeans and corn. (If GMO foods are so safe, why aren't they tested on 
humans?)

Monsanto's strong arm tactics, the FDA's fraudulent policies, and how 
the USDA ignores a growing health emergency are also laid bare. This 
sometimes shocking film may change your diet, protect you and your 
family, and accelerate the consumer tipping point against genetically 
modified organisms (GMOs) now underway.

In the US, nearly 75% of all supermarket food is genetically engineered 
or modified in some way. And you aren't allowed to know. An awakened 
populace is fighting back.

"/The story of barbecue is the story of America:  Settlers arrive on a 
great unspoiled continent, discover wondrous riches, set them on fire 
and eat them." /~Vince Staten/

//"As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists./"  
~Joan Gussow

"/If organic farming is the natural way, shouldn't organic produce just 
be called "produce" and make the pesticide-laden stuff take the burden 
of an adjective?/"
~Terri Guillemets

"/We don't need a melting pot in this country, folks.  We need a salad 
bowl.  In a salad bowl, you put in the different things.  You want the 
vegetables - the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - 
to maintain their identity.  You appreciate differences/." ~Jane Elliot

Why should YOU care? It's YOUR money that pays for US/Israeli wars - on 
Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, Libya. Syria, Iran, So America, etc

the loss of liberty and civil rights...
