Monsanto’s Halloween: GMO Tricks and Treats

'As a mother, I have wondered for a long time about the hyped scares around Halloween treats – razors in apples, for example. They seemed just the finest means to get parents to buy industrial candy and avoid all the nice homemade things the neighbors made for kids – popcorn balls, fudge, cookies, etc.

Halloween used to be a yearly expression of love from neighbors, and a time of great delight in all the cute neighborhood kids.

Media kicked the tar out of that. They created fear of neighbors and fear of homemade food and handed Halloween over to the processed food companies. Entirely unreasonable fear of our own neighbors has made the companies a fortune.

Perhaps reasonable fear will change that now. Because almost all of the candy sold for Halloween is made from either high-fructose Monsanto’s GMO corn syrup or Monsanto’s GMO sugar, and Monsanto’s GMOs are not something any child should be eating.'

The Silent Time Bomb on Your Plate: Watch FRESH for free till March 3rd

by Dr. Mercola

Free Viewing of FRESH until March 3rd at Dr. Mercola's web site HERE

'The "faster, bigger, cheaper" approach to food is slowly draining dry our planet's resources and compromising your health. The Earth's soil is depleting at more than 13 percent the rate it can be replaced. The documentary "FRESH" celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. 

 The film demonstrates how we can collectively transform the current "industrial agricultural paradigm" into a healthier, more sustainable way of feeding the world, while restoring the health of our ailing planet. I hope you will set aside the time to watch it, as it will be time well spent. 

We have already lost 75 percent of the world's crop varieties over the last century. Over the past 10 years, we've had 100 million tons of herbicides dumped onto our crops, polluting our soil and streams. The agriculture industry now tries to convince us that housing 110,000 to more than one million chickens or 20,000 hogs in a warehouse is a necessary practice to feed the masses.'

Infographic: All The Genetically Modified Food You're Eating

'GMO crops have infiltrated 80% of all the packaged food in the United States, and no one has told you. Here's why.'
 



'You may not know that you're eating these crops--despite the fact that they appear in 80% of all packaged food sold in the country--because the U.S. is one of the few places in the developed world that doesn't require food producers to disclose whether or not their ingredients have any modifications.'

'Today I'm pledging $10,000 in matching donations to support the non-profit Institute for Responsible Technology. This is the non-profit that's standing up to Monsanto and the GMO industry by exposing the truth about the dangers of genetically engineered foods. Jeffrey Smith, who was recently featured in my "Just Say No to GMO" song, is the executive director of the IRT (www.ResponsibleTechnology.org).'

Monsanto 'Faked' Data For Approvals Claims its Ex-Chief

'The debate on genetically modified (GM) brinjal variety continues to generate heat. Former managing director of Monsanto India, Tiruvadi Jagadisan, is the latest to join the critics of Bt brinjal, perhaps the first industry insider to do so.

Jagadisan, who worked with Monsanto for nearly two decades, including eight years as the managing director of India operations, spoke against the new variety during the public consultation held in Bangalore on Saturday.

On Monday, he elaborated by saying the company "used to fake scientific data" submitted to government regulatory agencies to get commercial approvals for its products in India.'
