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.
Pesticides and herbicides should not be used even on the soil, because it becomes the plant. Plants don’t grow out of “nothing.” And as you mention, they are going further, putting the toxins INTO the good plant. Good post. This is scary how blind to science and common sense some of these corporations are, killing us with frankenfoods and neurotoxins. The only reason they get away with it is that people do not come down with Parkinsons and cancer and birth defects (including sexuality differences) THE DAY AFTER EATING the food. Because these illnesses take years to develop, they get away with this crap.
