Sadly GMO represents already 70% of products distributed by grocery stores. Recently a bill was introducted in Congress to label GMO products, which wasn't passed.
People are buying products without knowing how they are made. The bad news is everybody don't know what consequences in long term have Genetically Modified Organism aka GMO on human body.

Are there health risk with GMOs? Are GMOs Good or Bad? How corporations are influencing our food supply.

Thanks for the support Natural Elements it helps to make more people aware. I know the people on this forum are not stupid like the companies would have you believe. But they know people have other things on their mind and are also very busy trying to scrape out a living so they think we won't notice what they are doing. Not if I can help it

An Interesting site to visit with plenty of information and articles: www.naturalnews.com
Monsanto's super GMO corn fails
Quote:
The tides may be turning for agri-giant Monsanto, the multi-national company most recognized for the propagation of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) around the world. According to a recent New York Times article, Monsanto's new "SmartStax" variety of GMO corn has failed miserably, and the company's stock prices have plummeted by nearly 50 percent since the beginning of 2010.
Until recently, Monsanto's stock value had been steadily rising since 2008, but as its new GMO varieties have failed to live up to expectations, share prices and profits have been plummeting. SmartStax corn, which is far more expensive than previous GMO varieties, has failed to achieved desired yields, as has the company's newer variety of GMO soybeans. Both failures have led not only to major price reductions for seeds, but also far less overall sales by farmers.
Monsanto's strategy has been to continually insert increasing amounts of new genes into seeds to make them perform better, and subsequently increase prices for farmers. But that predatory strategy has failed, as farmers are less willing these days to buy such seeds, especially at premium prices. And many farmers simply no longer trust Monsanto.
Sales of Monsanto's RoundUp formula have also plummeted, due in part to the fact that cheaper generics have started to penetrate the market, and because the formula simply is not working like it used to. New RoundUp-resistant "superweeds" are emerging that have rendered the product largely useless.
You can find out more about Monsanto by visiting: http://www.naturalnews.com/Monsanto...
Unfortunately, Monsanto is not the only player in the GMO game. And rather than regress back to non-GMO seeds, some farmers are simply purchasing GMO seeds from other companies like DuPont that have seen their market share grow as Monsanto's has decreased. But as the public wakes up to the truth about the dangers of GMOs, perhaps the entire GMO industry will eventually wither and die, much like the weeds and pests that it claims to eliminate.

The dirty secret of organic seeds, GMOs are hard to avoid.
http://www.culinate.com/user/KAB/blo..._organic_seeds
Even organic seeds or crops are contamined by GMO, and a few years ago the Time talked about that in their article:
When Organic Isn't Really Organic
http://www.time.com/time/health/arti...599110,00.html
Even today when you buy some organic products you are not sure if they contain GMO pollinisation blown by wind or seeds into lands.
Do you remember the bovine spongiform encephalopathy? The China milk scandal?
Well that's what happening when corporations want to maximize profits...Same problems, same stories.

We can also develop some theories about the very fast progression of obesity in US with the GMO in the fast foods and the grocery stores.
Doctors Warn: Avoid Genetically Modified Food
http://www.earthsave.org/newsletters...s09_August.pdf
I found surprising that no independant studies were done for comparing the skyrocket percentage of obesity and the GMO... It could be a link.

this video just came out to help Jeffery Smith get the word out to the general public about the dangers of GMO FOODS. The Health Ranger is also matching any donations up to $10,000.00 to keep him going on this project as well.
