This really creeps me out. Pregnant people, avoid all corn and soy, period. No sodas, no packaged or fast food.

The way it works is that companies like Monsanto Genetically Modify their seeds to be “round-up ready”. This basically means that they change the DNA of the plant so that the plant is immune to Round-up. Then, when you plant the crop, you can spray the area with Round Up and it will kill everything but the Round Up ready plants. Other plants are genetically modified to produce the pesticide.

The problem is that these plants literally are secreting the pesticide from their core - it permeates every part of the plant. They say it’s GREAT!!! because then you don’t have to spray - the pesticide is built into the plant! But then you can’t avoid eating pesticides. Most of these genetically modified organisms are coming from Monsanto.

The FDA says they have tested GM crops and they are safe, but this is a lie. If you do you’re research you will find documents by the FDA confirming that they haven’t done ANY thorough testing of GM crops, and research how many government employees, including the FDA and EPA who also work for Monsanto. Can you say conflict of interest?

There has been independent research done on GM corn, where they fed it to lab rats. By the third generation, they were all born STERILE, meaning UNABLE TO PRODUCE OFFSPRING. Seriously, go look this stuff up, then tell me what your opinion is....

Monsanto employees are a revolving door with Government. If people think it’s “scaremongering” that’s fine but check it out for yourself anyway. Better to be safe than sorry.
