GMOs: We need to go way beyond labeling to keep any healthy food
(NaturalNews) Labeling GMO foods is a good idea. But on the way to
getting that accomplished, what will our food supply and topsoil be
like? It's likely by the time enough consumers catch on, it will be too
late for a consumer boycott "tipping point" that's supposed to bring the
evil giant Monsanto to it's knees.
All the labeling in the world
won't stop Monsanto from creating more seeds and planting more GMO
crops, which will continue to contaminate non-GMO crops, including
USDA certified organic.
All
the side effects of GMO crops, damages from excessive glyphosates in
RoundUp and other herbicides, toxins from GMOs that contain their own
insecticides, will continue to destroy the soil, kill the honey bees,
and harm the livestock that feeds on soy and corn. It's already
happening.
What then must we do?Not enough food savvy
consumers in fast food America and an overarching corrupt government
leave us with hardly enough ammunition. So we need to enlist farmers in
the war against GMOs.
More and more farmers who were locked into
Monsanto's diabolical contracts are stuck with lower crop yields and
over run by RoundUp resistant super-weeds adding to their rising
expenses from buying Monsanto's seeds without the right to save seeds
for future planting.
Livestock farmers who use GMO grains to feed
their livestock are reporting die-offs and increased stillbirths that
threaten their animals. (

Enough
farmers have been harassed by Monsanto for bogus patent infringements
of seed or pollen drift to realize Monsanto is evil, but they are
intimidated and feel isolated. We should find a way to unite, fund, and
coordinate legal organizations for family farms. (

Non-GMO
and organic farmers have discovered this fact the hard way: There can
be no co-existence with GMO and non-GMO crops. Pollen and seeds have
gone beyond so-called "buffer zones" to contaminate non-GMO crops.
Conventional
farmers are concerned about the biotech push for rice and wheat crops. A
good part of what they grow goes to distributors who sell to foreign
markets that do inspect imports for GMO contamination. They reject them
even if they were inadvertently contaminated from other growers' fields.

After
his organic beet crop was contaminated by a nearby GMO sugar beet
testing field, Chris Hardy organized others in the Rogue Valley of
Jackson County, Oregon to campaign for
banning GMOs in that county. (

There is precedence for this. In California, Marin and Mendocino counties have already established
GMO planting bans. Get the idea? Planting must be stopped, but our federal government is
too corrupt for this. Perhaps county by county and state by state,
enough planting bans can be established.
Other countries have had enormous victories against
Monsanto: Kenya, Peru, France, Scotland, Mexico, and Brazil because farmers took a stand and their governments backed them up.
There
are many farmers who don't like Monsanto here in the U.S. too. But they
they feel intimidated and isolated. Consumer activists here don't reach
out to them. They only care about the right to choose. Farmers? What's
that? Video: (

We
need to back farmers up, organize them more to educate and unite other
farmers. We should coordinate existing farm legal foundations and fund
them more. We need to help them say no to GMO and Monsanto's contracts
while supporting their lawsuits against Monsanto. (

GMO
planting must stop before we all are forced to play genetic roulette in
a very real way no matter what the labels say. Please view these
