There is a string of research findings to support the growing global concern to the dangers of GM foods. As an example, a study commissioned by the Austrian Ministry of Health, Family and Youth Affairs and The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management has found time related negative reproductive effects in mice fed GM maize. Likewise, the Italian National Institute of Research on Food and Nutrition showed how GM corn caused significant immune system changes in mice, related to allergic and inflammatory responses .
Haiti has also refused the seed despite their dire need for help. Japan, China, Germany"the list goes on and on. The U.S. still refuses to take appropriate action even in light of these country's objections to the product. After all, when the GNP is at risk and a particular technology can offer an inventive solution to the need for renewed Global dominance, choosing a rational approach and making a conscientious decision would be foolish, indeed.
In preparation for writing this article, I researched a long list of sources trying to understand the process of GM foods and GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). Before undertaking this research, I would laugh heartily when conspiracy theorists would begin talking of governmental secrecy, plots of the illuminati undoing the freedom of the world and at the idea of people digging bunkers to prepare for the impending World's end. With the level of deceit coming to the light with regard to Genetically Modified Foods, I am no longer so quick to laugh.
Unfortunately, I have decided that the naysayers of this technology are right when it comes to the bigger issues of public health, destruction of smaller, organic farms and the growing monopolistic controls of the food industry currently allowed by our Government and pursued by corporations like Monsanto. It would seem that we have lost our voices and our choices in the hands of a government run by corporations that would serve their own interests before that of its citizens. Organic foods and supplements are currently under attack by H.R. 3590 - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and now, our commercially produced dairy, grain and meats are being manipulated without apparent concern for the health of the consumer.
A horrific feeling now comes over me when walking down the grocery aisle searching for food to feed my children. As I look across the various selections, the same incessant questions keep echoing in my head: Why are they doing this to my food and why are they not being honest about the effects of it? I can only pray that this research has led to conclusions that are not true and my children will not be victims of the corporate greed and government deceit that is infecting our modern America.
As I patiently wait for the truth to surface and this current proliferation of destruction to end, I can only write and hope that people will continue awakening to the Monsanto Initiative and that eventually, those who are paid to protect us, will do so with concern for our safety rather than that of their own, personal enrichment.
