GMOs – Genetically Modified Organisms. It doesn’t sound very appetizing to me. GMOs are defined as “any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology.” Well, I believe that human beings, like all animals, were meant to eat natural foods, so eating modern biotechnology is not for me. But whether I like it or not, I am exposed to GMOs everyday, and I don’t even know which foods are GMO.

This excellent investigative story aired on the Canadian Broadcast Corporation on March 25, 2013. There has been little research done on the long term health effects of GMO foods, and as the reporter reveals in this news report, many experimental GMO products have been “accidentally released” into the wild and into the public food supply before any safety approval was granted. Once GMO genes and DNA become air-borne, it’s all over – the genie is out of the bottle and there’s no turning back. Why are we doing this?
Short List Of Food Companies
Anyone can engineer GMOs, but the dominant world leader in GMOs is Monsanto. Monsanto clearly states on their websites and in their marketing campaigns that their goal is to genetically engineer 100 percent of all commercial seeds with their patented GMOs. Monsanto has a history of questionable safety claims with many of their products like PCB’s, DDT, Agent Orange, and aspartame.

You know, technology is a wonderful thing, but one thing is for sure – humans were never meant to EAT technology.
