Seeds of deception: Monsanto’s patented GMO seeds have given them power over life on our planet, and cultivated farmer suicides

Trump to pump $12 billion in welfare-type aid to U.S. farmers, but do we really need to boost genetically modified soy and corn production?

Before Trump won the Presidency, there was talk about his possible support of the clean food movement if he did in fact become POTUS, since many of his restaurants serve organic food dishes. But the Trump administration just put the wheels in motion for up to a $12 billion subsidy for U.S. farm-belt farmers that […]

Sowing the seeds of suicide: Monsanto’s ownership of our food supply is destroying farming

BOMBSHELL: Genetic modification proven ineffective — pests have become immune to the poison of modified crops in less than five years, but we still have to eat it

Last year, farmers around the world planted genetically modified crops like soybeans, corn and cotton across 240 million acres of land that create proteins from the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacterium.

GMO “safety” has been systematically and deliberately falsified

The safety of genetically modified foods is a matter that has long been under debate. Despite mountains of evidence showing the harms caused by GMO foods, some high-profile scientific institutions and scientists have defended the products. The mainstream media and government officials tend to take their arguments at face value given their authority, but closer […]

GMO industry now screaming that delays in government approval of genetically engineered crops are KILLING people

It looks like the pro-GMO propaganda machine has been at work again after a new study published in Plos ONE says that children will die because of the government’s slow approval of GM crops.

The biotech industry has infiltrated and now controls nearly all GMO regulators

The debate surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has been raging for years now, with strongly held viewpoints expressed on both sides. Nonetheless, slowly but surely, the tide seems to be turning in favor of those who are against the use of technology to biologically alter their foods.

Dicamba “drift” destroying crops downwind from application sites of Monsanto’s toxic herbicide

It’s one of the most controversial issues in modern agriculture: persistent crop chemicals of a highly toxic nature that spread unabated beyond the field. The experts call this “drift,” and one herbicide in particular that’s causing major problems in this regard is dicamba, also known as “Xtend,” a broad-leafed Monsanto weedkiller product commonly applied to […]
