The top 10 breakfast cereals most likely to contain Monsanto's GMO corn (NaturalNews) By now, nearly everyone interested in healthy living is aware of the recent research linking Monsanto's GMO corn to cancer tumors and an increase risk of premature death in both men and women. News of the research is spreading like wildfire across the 'net, and support for Proposition 37 -- which seeks to label GMOs in foods -- is growing by the day. But the media has not yet reported on the everyday foods being sold in grocery stores right now and made with Monsanto's genetically modified corn (GM corn). Which foods are most likely to contain Monsanto GM corn? To answer this question, I visited a local grocery store in Austin, Texas and purchased 10 breakfast cereals made with high levels of non-organic corn. According to the Center for Food Safety, up to 85% of the corn grown in the United States is genetically modified. The following list presents the top 10 popular breakfast cereals most likely to contain Monsanto's genetically modified corn. Cocoa Puffs and Corn Chex
Why 80% of People Worldwide Will Soon Stop Eating Wheat The future of wheat is certain, and it's toxic. There are as many health risks associated with the consumption of wheat as there are nutritional benefits claimed by the wheat industry. Why is there such a strong emphasis on the development of wheat products all over the world when there are so many adverse and crippling effects such as neurological impairment, dementia, heart disease, cataracts, diabetes, arthritis and visceral fat accumulation, not to mention the full range of intolerances and bloating now experienced by millions of people? Approximately 700 million tons of wheat are now cultivated worldwide making it the second most-produced grain after maize. It is grown on more land area than any other commerical crop and is considered a staple food for humans. At some point in our history, this ancient grain was nutritious in some respects, however modern wheat really isn't wheat at all. The Nutrional Value of Wheat is Practically Non-Existent In Its Current Form Dr. Health Effects
Monsanto puise dans nos impôts pour s'installer en Europe - [Assosconseils - Portail au service de la vie associative en moselle] Voilà un sujet qui devrait intéresser les associations écologistes. Il met en cause deux acteurs de poids : Monsanto et la BERD - Banque Européenne pour la Reconstruction et le Développement. Monsanto est une entreprise née en 1901 comme notre loi associative. Mais à l’origine, Monsanto était un producteur de saccharine que la firme vendait à une petite société d’alors : Coca-Cola. Aujourd’hui, son activité principale est la vente de semences génétiquement modifiées (OGM) qui viennent souvent accompagnées du Roundup car la modification génétique permet aux semences de résister à cet herbicide total (le soja Roundup Ready, le colza Roundup Ready et le coton Roundup Ready, etc.). Bref, pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas encore Monsanto, je vous conseille de lire les renvois en bas de page pour bien comprendre l’importance de l’information que nous allons vous donner. Tout d’abord, quelques mots sur la BERD En Inde, la firme est poursuivie pour bio-piraterie ; La BERD ment. En savoir plus :
Big Agriculture flexes its muscle - POLITICO.com Print View Congress holds the purse strings, but who holds Congress these days when it comes to farm policy: the meatpackers and Monsanto? So it seemed last week as lawmakers sent the White House an updated budget for the Agriculture Department complete with industry-backed orders on how Secretary Tom Vilsack should run the place. Continue Reading The Post-it notes from the packers were hard to miss. Alarmed that automatic spending cuts this month will slow plant operations, the meat lobby won a last-minute Senate amendment that cuts from a new White House-backed school breakfast program in order to ensure there will be enough money to keep food safety inspectors on the job this summer and avoid disruptions. At the same time the industry went in the opposite direction, denying funds in the Ag budget for implementing reforms sought in the 2008 farm bill to provide greater protection for less powerful ranchers and farmers who raise the animals for slaughter.
Organic rice farmer in India yields over 22 tons of crop on only two acres, proving the fraud of GMOs and Big Ag (NaturalNews) Despite all the claims made by industry-funded hacks that genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) and other industrial agricultural methods are necessary for the future of humanity, it is the traditional growing methods that continue to shine through as the real sustainers of life. As reported by Gaia Health, Indian rice farmers using traditional, organic growing methods are achieving yields far higher than farmers using more modern methods. In the case of Sumant Kumar, rice yields have surpassed the national average per hectare (about 2.5 acres) nearly ten-fold. According to reports, Kumar is currently yielding about 22.4 tons of rice per hectare, greatly surpassing that of other rice farms currently outputting roughly 2.3 tons per hectare. Farmers adhering to SRI techniques will typically plant about half the number of seeds as farmers using more modern methods, and will space them out at intervals of about 10 inches.

L'amarante, plante espiègle Cette plante est en train de faire tourner les beaux rêves de Monsanto en cauchemars. Les OGM, pour Monsanto, c’est la réponse absolue à la prédation des insectes. Pour les écologistes, et pour beaucoup de citoyens responsables, les OGM sont une menace pour l’environnement. Mais là où tous les militants du monde se cassent les dents contre le puissant loybby OGM, une petite plante fait de la résistance. L’amarante est une plante bien connue de nos ancêtres, puisque les Incas la considéraient comme une plante sacrée. Mais pour le lobby OGM, c’est plutôt une « sacrée » plante. Chaque plante produit environ 12.000 graines par an, et les feuilles contiennent des vitamines A, C et des sels minéraux. Elle est même plus riche en protéine que le soja, pourtant considéré comme champion en la matière. Les diététiciens affirment que la protéine de l’amarante est de qualité supérieure à celle du lait de vache. Mais revenons aux OGM. La scène du « drame » s’est tenue aux USA, à Macon, en Géorgie.
Sen. Roy Blunt: Monsanto's Man in Washington Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.)Christian Gooden/St. Louis Post-Dispatch As I reported a couple of weeks ago, a recent Senate bill came with a nice bonus for the genetically modified seed industry: a rider, wholly unrelated to the underlying bill, that compels the USDA to ignore federal court decisions that block the agency's approvals of new GM crops. I explained in this post why such a provision, which the industry has been pushing for over a year, is so important to Monsanto and its few peers in the GMO seed industry. Which senator pushed the rider into the bill? The admission shines a light on Blunt's ties to Monsanto, whose office is located in the senator's home state. Blunt is also a magnet for PAC money from the agribusiness industry as a whole, OpenSecrets data shows. The senator's blunt, so to speak, admission that he stuck a rider into an unrelated bill at the behest of a major campaign donor is consistent with the tenor of his political career. If Sen.
The Monsanto Protection Act? A Debate on Controversial New Measure Over Genetically Modified Crops This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. AARON MATÉ: President Obama outraged food activists last week when he signed into law a spending bill with a controversial rider attached. AMY GOODMAN: One of the biggest supporters of the provision was Republican Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, Monsanto’s home state. SEN. AARON MATÉ: Well, Senator Tester’s effort failed, and the rider was included in last month’s legislation that avoided a government shutdown. Now that President Obama has signed the spending bill into law, some uncertainty remains over whether it introduces a new policy or whether it codifies existing government practice. AMY GOODMAN: Well, to discuss the so-called "Monsanto Protection Act" and the issue of genetically modified foods, we’re joined now by two guests. Gregory Jaffe is director of the Biotechnology Project at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization that addresses food and nutrition issues. [break]
Nine foods you should never eat again by Jonathan Benson, staff writer (NaturalNews) With so much misinformation out there about food and how it affects human health, making healthy food choices for you and your family can be difficult and confusing. There are a number of specific foods; however, that you will want to avoid in almost every circumstance because they provide virtually no health benefits while posing plenty of health risks. Here are nine foods you should never eat again if you care about preserving your long-term health: 1) White bread, refined flours. By definition, white bread and refined flours in general are toxic for your body because they have been stripped of virtually all vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other important nutrients. 2) Conventional frozen meals. 3) White rice. 4) Microwaveable popcorn. 5) Cured meat products with nitrates, nitrites. 6) Most conventional protein, energy bars. 7) Margarine. 8) Soy milk and soy-based meat substitutes. 9) “Diet” anything.

Bruxelles renforce la mainmise des grands groupes sur les semences C'est au nom de la sécurité alimentaire et de la protection des produits cultivés dans l'Union que la Commission européenne a proposé, lundi 6 mai, un ensemble de mesures de "modernisation" de la filière. Son ambition affichée est de sauvegarder à la fois la productivité et la diversité des filières végétales en Europe. Ces dernières sont sous la menace de nouvelles agressions d'insectes ravageurs et de maladies, aggravées par la mondialisation et le changement climatique. La Commission rappelle que les échanges dans ce secteur représentent 205 milliards d'euros par an. Le texte, qui fixe les nouvelles règles du jeu du marché des semences, vise à simplifier la commercialisation de variétés industrielles. Les promoteurs des variétés paysann...
The End of Seasonal Vegetables? The reason why peas are harvested in early spring, why tomatoes are best in late summer, why kale still appears at farmers markets in the dead of winter—all are tied up with temperature. The heat of late summer’s sun plays a key role in ripening a red-and-yellow molted heirloom tomato, of course, but the subterranean warming that happens months before, triggering the tomato seed to germinate, sets the stage for the harvest of July and August. Plant geneticists are hoping to break that link with new research that could lead to genetically engineered seeds that couldn’t care less about soil temperature. For the farming industry, the finicky nature of seeds puts significant constraints on what can be grown, at-scale, when and where. Even lettuce, which, to judge by every grocery store’s produce section, is a year-round crop. Researchers from University of California, Davis, Arcadia Biosciences and India’s Acharya N.G.
How to Avoid GMOs (for real) - Mama Natural In the U.S., GMOs are everywhere in our supply chain. According to the Grocery Manufacturers Association, 75-80% of all conventional, processed foods contain some form of GMOs. In this post, I’ll tell you how to avoid them. First, a bit of background GMOs are plant or meat products with DNA artificially altered in a laboratory by genes from other plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria, resulting in foreign compounds found in these foods. In this post, I’m not going to argue the merits of going GMO-free. Bottom line, if you chose to consume GMOs, that’s your prerogative. Going GMO-free ain’t easy This post is a response to the concerned mamas who watched this video about GMOs in surprising places. You know that USDA Certified Organic symbol? Organic is big business, and money corrupts the process. But I digress… let’s get down to brass tacks. How to avoid GMOs On a budget?
