Linda’s comment:  Please pay attention to PLU Codes Do Not Indicate Genetically Modified Produce.  GMO foods have become a serious health hazard and we must protect our children.  If you as an adult want to ignore the warnings, please do not place our children in jeporady.  Make sure you join the Institute for Responsible Technology and help us spread the word.

Excerpt:

Let’s put a rumor to rest. No, the 5-digit PLU codes on produce do not tell you what is genetically modified or natural. This urban legend has circulated long enough, even on the best of websites. It’s time to take it down. Continued

2009 GM Crop Fact File

ARE GM CROPS TAKING OVER GLOBAL AGRICULTURE? 

• GM plantings make up a mere 2.4% of global agricultural crop land
• Nearly 80% of the global area planted to GM crops was in just three countries – the US, Argentina and Brazil
• The US alone plants over 50% of the world’s GM crops
• Less than 3% of cropland in India and China is planted with GM crops, almost exclusively just 1 crop – GM cotton

ARE GM CROPS EXPANDING IN EUROPE? 

• In the 27 countries of the European Union, GM crop cultivation represents a mere 0.21% of agricultural land
• The number of hectares of GM crops fell last year in Europe
• EuropaBio inflated the figures for GM crops grown in Europe by almost a quarter to mask the decline in the area of GM crops being grown has actually fallen in Europe every year since 2005.

WHAT GM CROPS ARE BEING GROWN? 

• Most investment has gone into a small number of crops and traits targeted toward large-scale commercial farming
• Only four crops – soya, maize, cotton and canola (oilseed rape) – comprise virtually 100% of GM agriculture
• GM rice, wheat, tomatoes, sweetcorn, potatoes and popcorn have all been rejected as unacceptable in the global marketplace
• GM papaya cultivation in Hawaii has been declining over several years.

DO GM CROPS MATCH THE HYPE? 

Linda’s comment: This is so very important for those of us with chronic illness, although if healthy people pay attention they might not become chronically ill. We use to be able to say that if you bought organic, you would be safe and get no GMO, however that is not true today. If you see USDA organic, research it, as I have found during my own research that USDA can not be trusted.

Linda

Big biotech claims that genetic engineering is a necessary step towards feeding the world’s growing population.  And yet debate still rages as to whether GM crops actually increase yields at all.  Furthermore, the UN recently stated that 30,000 people a day were starving to death, but not because of underproduction of crops.  It’s simply through lack of access.

Linda’s Comment:  This is the “NEW” non-GMO shopping Guide website….you can learn and help us ALL teach your families, friends, colleagues, DOCTORS and yourselves about the dangers of GMO foods.  GMO foods FEED the Lyme critters, parasites and bacteria.  When you eat GMO foods, you are swallowing pesticides, herbicides and  much more.  We are blessed to have more and more organic, “pick our own” farms sprouting up across the USA….There have been two here in Arizona in the last few months, or at least ones that I have discovered.  You will find that your pricing for pick our own organics is the same price you pay in the stores….it could very well save you from medical bills, sickness and help to keep your children safe and healthy……   Then scoot on over the Home – Seeds of Deception ( www.seedsofdeception.com ) and join the newsletter group and you will receive the “Spilling the Beans” newsletter as it comes out.  Jeffery Smith has worked for years and years to fight the Monsanto’s of the world who are “killing” us….The concept of GMO foods was not thought out well, or they just didn’t care….Cancer is on the rise, so we ask Why?  Is it because of the deadly GMO foods?  All five of the Cancers I dealt with were environmental chemicals and foods.  Yes, I learned a hard lesson and have now turned into a preacher against these deadly foods.   Regards, Linda
