GMO Timeline: A History of Genetically Modified Foods - GMO Inside. GMO has been a slowly creeping threat for a while, but it’s ramped up lately.
(Rosebud Magazine) Factbox: GM foods in Australia. Currently, the only genetically modified food crops produced in Australia are canola and cotton, but a variety of other GM foods can be imported and used as an ingredient in packaged foods.
Foods where GM ingredients are highly refined do not need to be labelled as containing GM products. Genetically modified cotton has been grown commercially in Australia since 1996. Genetically modified food: The truth about GMO food. Genetic modification is creeping into our crops.

Genetically modified food is a source of great controversy, yet most of us are eating it every day. If you cook with canola oil, snack on biscuits and chocolates, drink soy milk or eat tofu, you’re probably tucking into “frankenfood”.

Pediatrician Carla Nelson remembers catching sight of the unusually pale newborn, then hearing an abnormal heartbeat through the stethoscope and thinking that something was terribly wrong.
The baby was born minutes before with a severe heart malformation that would require complex surgery. What worried her as she waited for the ambulance plane to take the infant from Waimea, on the island of Kauai, to the main children’s hospital in Honolulu, on another Hawaiian island, was that it was the fourth one shehad seen in three years. In all of Waimea, there have been at least nine in five years, she says, shaking her head. That’s more than 10 times the national rate, according to analysis by local doctors. New GMO Controversy: Are the Herbicides Dangerous? Although genetically modified organisms (GMOs) don't appear by themselves to have ill effects on human health, the herbicides used on these crops could be an overlooked health threat, some researchers say in a controversial new opinion piece.
People have been manipulating genes in plants for centuries, but arguing that this means GMOs are safe "misses the point that GM crops are now the agricultural products most heavily treated with herbicides, and that two of these herbicides may pose risks of cancer," Dr. Philip Landrigan, a professor of preventive medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, and Charles Benbrook, a crop and soil scientist at Washington State University, wrote in an opinion article published in the Aug. 20 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Most of the corn and soybeans grown in the United States are genetically engineered.
UN Report Says Small-Scale Organic Farming Only Way to Feed the World. Nick Meyer | AltHealthWORKS Even as the United States government continues to push for the use of more chemically-intensive and corporate-dominated farming methods such as GMOs and monoculture-based crops, the United Nations is once against sounding the alarm about the urgent need to return to (and develop) a more sustainable, natural and organic system.
That was the key point of a new publication from the UN Commission on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) titled“Trade and Environment Review 2013: Wake Up Before It’s Too Late,” which included contributions from more than 60 experts around the world. GM damages decision in court as organic farmer Steve Marsh launches appeal. Updated A judge should have found a farmer of genetically modified canola was responsible for anticipating the impact of his crop and harvesting methods on his neighbour's organic farm, an appeals court has been told.
Prominent QC and former West Australian governor Malcolm McCusker is representing Kojonup organic farmer Steve Marsh who wants to overturn a Supreme Court ruling which struck down his compensation claim. Mr Marsh had sought $85,000 in damages from his former childhood friend Michael Baxter and a permanent injunction that would stop Mr Baxter growing GM canola in the future. The canola seeds blew onto his property in 2010 and he later lost organic certification for 70 per cent of his land.
Monsanto contributed to WA farmer Michael Baxter's legal costs in GM case. Organic Farmers Sue Monsanto Over GMO Seed. Ethan A.
Huff, Natural News In order to avoid completely losing their businesses and livelihoods to the predatory business model of Monsanto, 60 family farmers, seed businesses and organic agricultural organizations have collectively filed a preemptive lawsuit against the multinational biotechnology giant. Filed by the Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) on behalf of the plaintiffs, the suit seeks judicial protection against the inevitable lawsuits Monsanto will file against non-GM and organic farmers when its genetically-modified (GM) seeds and other materials contaminate their fields.

Gary Rinehart clearly remembers the summer day in 2002 when the stranger walked in and issued his threat.
Rinehart was behind the counter of the Square Deal, his “old-time country store,” as he calls it, on the fading town square of Eagleville, Missouri, a tiny farm community 100 miles north of Kansas City. The Square Deal is a fixture in Eagleville, a place where farmers and townspeople can go for lightbulbs, greeting cards, hunting gear, ice cream, aspirin, and dozens of other small items without having to drive to a big-box store in Bethany, the county seat, 15 miles down Interstate 35.
Everyone knows Rinehart, who was born and raised in the area and runs one of Eagleville’s few surviving businesses. The stranger came up to the counter and asked for him by name.

The saftey of GM crops for human consumption has NOT been established. In Australia our food regulator Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) conducts a 'pre-market safety assessment'.
It does no testing itself, commissions no testing and requires no animal feeding trials. Instead FSANZ relies on the studies done by the companies that own the GM crops. The studies done by the companies that own the GM crops are inadequate. New Health Guide - New Health Guide for Your Everyday Health. Genetically modified foods, also known as biotech foods, are ones that are grown from genetically modified organisms, or crops. Specific changes have been made to the DNA of these crops by genetic engineering techniques that encourage extra nutrients to be produced, faster growth, an ability to resist diseases and other purposes. Plant products are often the main group of modified foods, such as cotton seed oil, canola, corn and soybeans. Typical Genetically Modified Foods Almost every area in the food production market is using genetic modification to produce foods that taste better, grow faster, resist disease and improve the amount of nutrients found in the food.
At times, the genetic modification helps to save natural resources because the “new” food does not need as much water or energy to be processed. World Health Organization: Glyphosate Is A Probable Human Carcinogen. The World Health Organisation’s cancer agency has declared the world’s most widely used weedkiller – glyphosate – a “probable human carcinogen” in a move that will alarm the agrochemical industry and amateur gardeners.
