Another reason that GMO products, grain, vegetables, and livestock fed on GMO feeds are even better than your Mother's finest home cooking . . .

No, they really are. Honest.

Here's an interesting article about just another little tiny thing Monsanto et al forgot to mention, because it is obviously perfectly safe and healthy. Don't want to bother the layman's little head with all this exoteric scientific junk, do we now ? ? ? ?

It begins:

"Yet another disturbing reason has emerged as to why you should be avoiding health-devastating genetically modified organisms, and it may be one of the most concerning yet. We know that GMO consumption has been linked to a host of serious conditions, but one thing we are not so sure about is the recent discovery of a hidden viral gene deep within genetically modified crops.

For years, GMOs have been consumed knowingly and unknowingly around the globe, with Monsanto and the United States government claiming that the altered franken crops are perfectly safe despite very limited (or virtually none in some cases) initial testing and scientists speaking out against the dangers. One such danger that has actually not been spoken about has been revealed in a recent report by a safety watchdog group known as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)."

Read it and draw your own conclusions . . . the links to other studies are well worth following also.

I am so looking forward to my first steaming plateful of machine grown, petrochemically fertilised, Roundup infused genetically modified organisms.

Aren't you?

"Food" for thought . . . peer reviewed, no less.

And as long as I'm at it, a couple of articles on just how well the Roundup/2-4 D(Agent Orange; remember the Vietnam war?) initiative of Dow Chemical and Monsanto is going.

You'll find them here:

Last but not least, here is a list of diseases associated with exposure to Agent Orange (2-4 D) as published by the United States Department of Veteran's Affairs - after denying it for thirty years. "Roundup" is the civilian name that Agent Orange is marketed under.

Almost forgot . . . infertility and spontaneous abortion in livestock, too:

Its great we have access to all this info but its the info that we do have and accept as gospel but thats a "Horse of a Different Colour"

I thought 2 4 5 T was agent orange. 2 4 D was used as a lawn weedkiller. Maybe I have been duped.

Well Michael if you felt duped what hope is there for the rest of us......

[michael brenock]

I have checked it out again and yes 2 4 5 T was named agent orange, a defoliant and 2 4 D was included with it. However 2 4 d is one of the most widely used herbicides still in use and "approved". Telling half truths is not serving any purpose.
