There's a lot of money in trying to get people to believe there's no difference between GMO and non-GMO foods.

Let the markets decide.
No matter what the money spent in advertising is, people do have some basic intelligence.

Most have no clue what is in their food, the mainstream media and schools, etc are lying and brainwashing people to believe that GMOs are completely healthy. Heck the government has passed things saying that are healthy and you can't sue Monsanto... Why would they do that if there Monsanto's products are all perfectly healthy?

Farmers would love to sue for contamination of their fields, but Monsanto wants to sue them for using their patented seeds without permission:

Supreme Court Gives Monsanto Full Ability to Sue Farmers

"...Yes, were talking about the wind or insects carrying GM seeds onto another farm, which to them is considered contamination. But instead of the ability for the farmers to sue for a ruined field, they can be cleaned out in court for not having permission to plant patented seeds...."

It's just sick.

The observation Carman seems to believe is most damning is the amount of inflammation of the stomach in the pigs fed the GM diet, as she prominently displays photos of four of the autopsied stomachs on her website. The amount of inflammation was determined by gross visual examination; in layman’s terms, by simply looking at the stomachs and declaring the reddest stomach to have the most inflammation. However, the redness of stomach tissue is a poor measure of inflammation.

In fact, there were more pigs with stomach abnormalities in the non-GM group than in the GM group.[9] Even so, when using proper statistical analysis, there is no statistically significant difference between the amount of inflammation in the non-GM group and the GM group.

i totaly agree to that. that is why it is so extremely important to inform yourself about gmo - Pro's, Contra's and what is actually the truth!

From 2013:

World Exclusive: Evidence of GMO Harm in Pig Study

"A groundbreaking new study [1] shows that pigs were harmed by the consumption of feed containing genetically modified (GM) crops.

GM-fed females had on average a 25% heavier uterus than non-GM-fed females, a possible indicator of disease that requires further investigation. Also, the level of severe inflammation in stomachs was markedly higher in pigs fed on the GM diet. The research results were striking and statistically significant.
..
Lead researcher Dr Judy Carman, adjunct associate professor at Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia,[2] said: “Our findings are noteworthy for several reasons. First, we found these results in real on-farm conditions, not in a laboratory, but with the added benefit of strict scientific controls that are not normally present on farms.

“Second, we used pigs. Pigs with these health problems end up in our food supply. We eat them.

“Third, pigs have a similar digestive system to people, so we need to investigate if people are also getting digestive problems from eating GM crops.

“Fourth, we found these adverse effects when we fed the animals a mixture of crops containing three GM genes and the GM proteins that these genes produce. Yet no food regulator anywhere in the world requires a safety assessment for the possible toxic effects of mixtures. Regulators simply assume that they can’t happen.

“Our results provide clear evidence that regulators need to safety assess GM crops containing mixtures of GM genes, regardless of whether those genes occur in the one GM plant or in a mixture of GM plants eaten in the same meal, even if regulators have already assessed GM plants containing single GM genes in the mixture.”

The new study lends scientific credibility to anecdotal evidence from farmers and veterinarians, who have for some years reported reproductive and digestive problems in pigs fed on a diet containing GM soy and corn.[3]..."

This is a tricky scientific question. While one can envision how a GMO could produce chemicals that are unhealthy, or even poisonous, there is no evidence of this happening. We now know enough about DNA to create new species or combinations of species. In America the corn we eat is part corn, part caterpillar, part bacteria, etc. In the future I suspect we will eat more plants and animals that we create than ones nature created. This really should be studied more because as we create new genes there is a risk of them getting into the wild and.... well, no one knows what will happen then.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are rampant in the US. .....
"Will humans who eat GM salmon produce growth hormones year round?....

If these GMO foods are causing our illnesses and making us sicker, why do we continue to buy them and eat them? And if they aren't, why are there organic seed banks popping up everywhere?

What if GMO foods are tastier?

I don't think we should be forcing GMO foods on people who don't want to eat them, yet the GMO crops are spreading (they can't stop it) and the US has made it so they won't label GMOs in the store. Sounds to me like they're trying to force us to eat them. I'd rather eat healthy then something that just tastes better without the nutrients. We should be able to choose.

Video: New research says GMO crop contamination unstoppable

New research says GMO crop contamination unstoppable

"Though biotech industries may claim that their GMO crops can be contained, new studies show that may not be the case. In fact, one survey showed that 1/3 of organic farmers report problems with cross-contamination between their crops and GMO crops.

The report, which can be found in the International Journal of Food Contamination, states that between 1997 and 2013, there have been at least 396 instances of GMO crop contamination across 63 countries recorded.

The report stated several conclusions about GMOs and none of them were positive.

First and foremost, the report declares that GMO contamination is insurmountable, as it will occur over time through nature. It will be difficult enough to contain and halt contamination that has already occurred, if it’s possible to do so at all. And since there’s no established protocol for testing, it’s difficult to determine what plants are contaminated and which ones aren’t."

JAYCE DESIGNS - http://bit.ly/1tmgIwK

Its not the GMO, that only about 10-15% of the problem in Europe.

Its more like the colorants, additives, preservants, heavy metals leaking into water supply (cesium, arsenic, led , mercury), or soil contamination by chemical plants.

Not to mention the underground waters contaminated by cyanide in some mining regions, and the fertilizers that is sprayed on foods.

I couldn't care less about GMO, then I see the other crap that is much worse.

Half of All Children Will Be Autistic by 2025, Warns Senior Research Scientist at MIT

"Why? Evidence points to glyphosate toxicity from the overuse of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide on our food.

For over three decades, Stephanie Seneff, PhD, has researched biology and technology, over the years publishing over 170 scholarly peer-reviewed articles. In recent years she has concentrated on the relationship between nutrition and health, tackling such topics as Alzheimer’s, autism, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the impact of nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxins on human health."

Do you have a link to the article in question? I'd like to test post it to FB and see what happens. It could be that the article is from a known spam site, so automatically trips the censors, rather than being censored based on content.

It is a well known fact among activist groups that Facebook/Google/Youtube actively censors content. Search the web you will find documentation. The master's tools shall not be used to tear down the master's house.

It's disgusting. But to me, the last few posts here only prove that GMOs are bad, and that the government knows it, and the powers that be want them to be ingested by us. I've given up caring, as I firmly believe they will be punished some day.

I was watching this video, that seemingly has nothing to do with GMOs. It's about Fox news reporters getting fired. But apparently it has all to do with GMOs.

Here's the link: http://naturalsociety.com/bill-ban-gmo-labeling-for-good-3/

"This New Bill Could Ban GMO Labeling for Good
We can't let the 'right to know' slip away

Update: This Post was Blocked by Facebook – Until Now

Thousands of our fans, including those with March Against Monsanto, have found this post to be blocked on Facebook. Why is this being blocked? When I tried to post this article to both the Natural Society page and my Anthony Gucciardi Facebook page I was met with a warning that this post was blocked due to ‘security measures.’ Needless to say, this raised many questions. What do you think?

Want some more proof that Monsanto and other biotech giants are deathly afraid of GMO labeling initiatives passing within the United States? A new bill introduced by Monsanto’s star representative, Mike Pompeo, could soon ban all mandatory GMO labeling in the US.

The worst part? It was just approved by the House Agriculture Committee, which means it’s one step closer to becoming a full-fledged law. The bill is formally known as H.R. 1599, or the ‘Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015.’"

It says it was flagged, but the way they write it now, it sounds like it will work. I have no idea how they got it fixed.
