I would really like to believe that Roundup residues are safe to ingest and that they will not cause harm. That was the original marketing claim back in the beginning although the fine print was written as by a Philadelphia lawyer and this is what I think wised my father up. The lawyer knew better and provided plausible deniability.
Science has
found otherwise since then and has in fact produced scientific calls
for the product's withdrawal. This co tin8es to be ignored of course
and the truth remains that Monsanto is wedded to the Roundup protocol
and can no more abandon it than the tobacco companies can abandon
cigarettes.
This howl
of pain from an informed commentator says it all. The worst is is it
is not going to become better until it triggers a massive crop
failure or catastrophic levels of male impotence throughout the human
and animal worlds.
Why You Are Insane If You Think GMOs Are Safe
June 10, 2014
Sayer
Ji
You
are insane if you are drinking Biotech’s GMO-infused Kool-Aid.
Here’s why…
Let’s
put aside the debate about antigenic proteins introduced by
transgenes in GMO crops. Transgenes are genes from species that are
not naturally present in crops of feed or food importance,
e.g. spider
genes,
bacterial genes, viral
genes, etc.
These transgenes are capable of producing proteins in the plants that
have never been in the human diet over the course of human evolution,
stretching back thousands, even millions of years. GM
proponents and regulators claim pseudo-scientifically that these
novel new GM foods are ‘substantially
equivalent‘
to conventional ones, despite
a lack of human clinical toxicology studies to prove it; or, they
claim that these proteins are inconsequential and do not represent a
threat to human health, or the health of the biosphere as whole
because they say so –
a plea to their own self-appointed, baseless authority.
This
debate about whether or not GMO foods contain problematic proteins is
meant to confuse and distract from the real issue that if you eat
corn, soy, cottonseed or canola containing GMO products – and
everyone does since nothing is truthfully labeled – you are
ingesting glyphosate
(aka Roundup)
residues. How can I say that? Because these ungodly organisms have
been designed to survive the equivalent of a chemical apocalypse. GM
Monoculturing using glyphosate-resistant plants requires the
widespread application of a systemic life-killing concoction of
chemicals to the land – literally carpet bombed like Agent
Orange herbicide
in Vietnam —
that kills every plant but the one designed to somehow resist dying
after being sprayed. The
result? Massive chemical injury and contamination of the plants
intended to be your food.
I
will say it again, you
are insane if you believe that ingesting Roundup contaminated food is
safe, especially
if you let your children consume it. In a world where Department of
Children and Families can threaten to take your children away if you
don’t pump up to 80
vaccines into them as children,
knowingly letting your child eat food poisoned with glyphosate
formulations,
which have been linked to over 40
diseases in the peer-reviewed biomedical literature –
should be considered at least as an egregious offense.
Please
read “Extreme
Toxicity of Roundup Destroys GM/Non-GM ‘Substantial Equivalence’
Argument,”
if you think these statements are hyperbolic or intended to
promulgate fear-mongering. Take away the voluminous
industry-funded
‘research’
they paid for to
market their product and cover up its harms, and through publication
bias pushed into the popular consciousness as ‘evidence’ for why
you should enjoy intentionally eat chemicals, and you are left with a
truly dismal picture of what is really going on.
Roundup
is now found in our air,
our
water, our
food, our
rain,
making avoidance nearly impossible. It
is destroying the soil,
including the still mostly unexplored biodiversity of the soil
organisms found there, including
strains of major food importance.
It
is found in breast milk,
it is destroying
the coral reefs,
it exhibits carcinogenic endocrine-disruptive
properties in the parts-per-trillion range.
And still, our government – specifically
the EPA
– thinks you
can live with them increasing the ‘acceptable level of harm’
because it is bioaccumulating everywhere, and they
don’t’ know what to do.
Monsanto, of course, directs and in some way owns our government.
Just
look at who they have placed in positions of power if you need proof.
This
post is really not meant to speak to the choir. We have a million
unique visitors a month, most of whom are already aware of what’s
going on, and who want to change the trajectory in a way that does
not lead to the collapse of the biosphere, and our support system
with it. This post is meant to call out those who, quite frankly, are
whoring themselves to the biotech and chemicals industries. Who write
articles and blogs who claim those of us who do not wish to see our
children die young of idiopathic diseases, leukemia, or suffer
through accelerated neurodegeneration – think autism spectrum
disorder – related to incessant chemical exposures, are
‘anti-science,’ ‘fear mongers,’ ‘irrational parents.’
They have blood on their hands. Despite our firm convictions, the
evidence itself proves this.
Yes,
you are insane if you eat GMOs, or support the agenda. Ban Roundup
and GMOs is the mantra I would love to see repeated, incessantly,
into the future. Till it’s done. Then, perhaps, when the
precautionary principle is implemented, we can begin to cultivate
sanity again and reverse the process that is killing our planet.
