But as I got older I started to understand bullying, because I was being bullied and many people around me were to. Even though I was only being bullied in small ways it still affected me. You don’t have to be beaten up to have been bullied. So what is bullying…? Did you know 1 person per day commits suicide because of bullying? One of the more over looked types of bullying is exclusion. Monsanto bullies farmers into buying their patented GMO seeds, bullies networks and media into not talking about Genetically engineered Organisms (GMOs)and bullies the consumer by not letting them know what they are eating, and not giving them a choice but to eat genetically modified foods and even goes as far as Bullying Nature with pesticides, contributing to massive Bee Colony Collapse, No Bees no Life.

NOTE: Despite the New Mexico labeling initiative going down, like California's Prop 37, to massive lobbying, and Hawaii's GM labeling bill being killed by its Senate Agriculture Committee even though it passed the Hawaiian House by a margin of 50 to 1, a substantial step forward has now been taken in Vermont - see below - despite reported threats of lawsuits from Monsanto and the food industry. New England Natural Bakers Announces Non-GMO Project Verification.

Second-Largest Dutch City Bans Monsanto’s Roundup Herbicide. By: Elizabeth Renter,Natural Society.
Some cynics write off citizen action including petitions and sign-carrying protestors. They don’t believe such small efforts can make any big difference. But the more than 600,000 people of Dutch city Rotterdam disagree. Their efforts, which began with a petition, have led to a “green initiative” in their city including the banning of Roundup, Monsanto’s flagship product. The petition campaign was called “Non-toxic Sidewalks for Our Children.” As we know, Roundup (glyphosate) is a dangerous pesticide that is used all over the world. “It is bad stuff and I’m glad we’re giving it up,” says Emile Cammeraat, Green party leader in the council.
Global consumers are getting wise to the dangers of Roundup and the GMO seeds designed to resist it. Collectively, the people of Rotterdam were able to make their voices heard, essentially eliminating glyphosate from their local environment. Sources : Scientists Discover What’s Killing the Bees and It’s Worse Than You Thought. As we’ve written before, the mysterious mass die-off of honey bees that pollinate $30 billion worth of crops in the US has so decimated America’s apis mellifera population that one bad winter could leave fields fallow.
Now, a new study has pinpointed some of the probable causes of bee deaths and the rather scary results show that averting beemageddon will be much more difficult than previously thought. Scientists had struggled to find the trigger for so-called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) that has wiped out an estimated 10 million beehives, worth $2 billion, over the past six years.

Exposures of children to organophosphate pesticides and their potential adverse health effects. Chlorpyrifos. Health Effects Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphorous pesticide known for its damaging effects on the human nervous system.
Like all organophosphates, chlorppyrifos blocks an enzyme (called acytyl cholinesterase) that our brains need to control nerve impulses. These neurological effects pose especially elevated risks for children because their nervous systems are still developing. Symptoms of low-dose exposure may include headaches, agitation, inability to concentrate, weakness, tiredness, nausea, diarrhea and blurred vision. Higher doses can lead to respitory paralisis and death. Kauai Pesticide and GMO Bill 2491. Pioneer.

The truth about Bill 2491 - Guest - Mobile Adv. Gary Hooser - Kauai County Council | As the author of Bill 2491 relating to Pesticides and Genetically Modified Organisms, I feel compelled to address the tremendous amount of misinformation being generated in the community as to its impacts and effects on our island community.
To be clear – Bill 2491 does not ban GMOs and will absolutely not force or cause the closure of any GMO operation on Kauai. Further – Bill 2491’s pesticide provisions apply only to commercial agricultural operations that use large amounts of Restricted Use Pesticides (RUPs). Global Website – Bringing plant potential to life. Hooser introduces GMO bill - Thegardenisland.com: Government And Politics. LIHUE — Kauai County Councilman Gary Hooser introduced an ordinance Thursday that would give authority to the county to govern the commercial use of pesticides and genetically modified organisms.
Hooser believes it is an opportunity to set a precedent, and could serve as a model for other communities. “This ordinance is about impacts on Kauai — Kauai health, Kauai environment,” he said. “It’s not about GMOs and whether they’re good for the world or not.” Maggie Sergio: GMO & Pesticide Experiments in Hawaii: The Poisoning of Paradise. The tropical paradise of Hawaii is on the bucket list of many. Peaceful images of white sandy beaches, warm tropical waters and the welcoming spirit of Aloha is what draws tourists from around the globe. In 2012, Hawaiian tourism hit an all-time high. Visitors spent a record of $14.3 billion dollars and more tourists than ever before (close to 8 million people) visited the Hawaiian Islands last year.
Simultaneously, the vibrant ecosystems and biodiversity of the Hawaiian Islands are under serious attack by the unrestrained growth of the biotech industry. The average tourist coming to Hawaii to enjoy a vacation, get married or possibly invest in a time share isn't aware of the chemical contamination taking place due to unregulated GMO experiments and heavy pesticide use on the islands. My intention with this article is to raise awareness and help shine a light on the environmental crisis that is happening right now, under our noses, in Hawaii.
How did this happen? Lawsuits filed. GMO & Pesticide Experiments in Hawaii: Part 2, Kauai's Right to Know. On July 31, 2013, there will be a public hearing on the island of Kauai that has no precedent. This hearing comes a month after the first reading of Draft Bill 2491 on June 26th of this year. Since the introduction of this pesticide safety bill, the Garden Island of Kauai has found itself in the spotlight, bringing the issue of "the right to know" and chemical trespass to worldwide attention. Background on this environmental and social justice issue can be found in my earlier article, Pesticide & GMO Experiments in Hawaii: The Poisoning of Paradise In recent weeks, campaigns by both sides of this issue have intensified. The local grassroots movement on Kauai, working towards full disclosure and regulation of clandestine pesticide use, is effectively using social media to share information and ideas.

Genetically Modified Organisms. Monsanto-funded research has been proliferating as uncontrollably as their genetically modified (GM) plants, and the bugs resistant to them, of late. Two studies have appeared in scientific journals in the past eight months, both funded by Monsanto, and both discrediting a Roundup herbicide-cancer link. Frankly, there is a frightening coincidence glaring at us, right before our eyes.
Obesity has become pandemic in the past 30 years, paralleling the use of genetic engineering, and increased pesticide use. More than 60% of Americans are overweight, and obesity has doubled in the past 20 years globally. Our intestines may be colonized with new microbes, making us very sick.

Canola is a genetic variation of rapeseed developed by Canadian plant breeders specifically for its nutritional qualities, particularly its low level of saturated fat. In 1956 the nutritional aspects of rapeseed oil were questioned, especially concerning the high eicosenoic and erucic fatty acid contents. In the early 1960's, Canadian plant breeders isolated rapeseed plants with low eicosenoic and erucic acid contents. The Health and Welfare Department recommended conversion to the production of low erucic acid varieties of rapeseed.
Industry responded with a voluntary agreement to limit erucic acid content to five percent in food products, effective December 1, 1973. In 1974, Dr. Each canola plant produces yellow flowers that, in turn, produce pods, similar in shape to pea pods about 1/5th the size.
