This is why it is crucial for Californians get out to the polls on November 6 and vote YES on Prop. 37. "In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned.

William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |

NoSilence (OP) User ID: 22905825 Mexico 09/21/2012 03:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [snip] Below is a list of the top ten contributors to the No on 37 campaign, which is trying to stop GMO labeling in California: 1) Monsanto Company, St. Louis, MO, $7,100,500 2) E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Co., Washington, DC, $4,900,000 3) BASF Plant Science, Research Triangle Park, NC, $2,000,000 4) Bayer CropScience, Research Triangle Park, NC, $2,000,000 5) Dow Agrosciences LLC, Indianapolis, IN, $2,000,000 6) PepsiCo, Inc., Purchase, NY, $1,716,300 7) Nestle USA, Inc., Glendale, CA, $1,169,400 8) Coca-Cola North America, Atlanta, GA, $1,164,400 9) ConAgra Foods, Omaha, NE, $1,076,700 10) Syngenta Corporation, Washington, DC, $1,000,000 As you will notice, every single one of these companies has a critical stake in making sure that you do not know what is in the food you eat, because every single one of these companies either produces GMOs or uses GMOs in their product formulations. If GMO labeling is mandated in California, the "Big Six" will lose significant market share as many large food companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi will have to either reformulate their products to exclude GMOs, or risk losing much of their customer base by labeling GMOs, which Monsanto admitted many years ago is akin to putting "a skull and crossbones" on the food label.

NoSilence (OP) User ID: 22905825 Mexico 09/21/2012 06:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In response to this study, Yes on Proposition 37 California Right to Know Campaign Manager Gary Ruskin released the following statement: “The results of this study are worrying. They underscore the importance of giving California families the right to know whether our food is genetically engineered, and to decide for ourselves whether we want to gamble with our health by eating GMO foods that have not been adequately studied and have not been proven safe. By requiring simple labels on genetically engineered foods, Proposition 37 gives Californians the ability to choose whether to expose ourselves and our families to any potential health risks. The right to know is fundamental, and that’s why 50 countries around the world have already enacted labeling requirements for genetically engineered food.” ...............

Thread: GM wheat may cause liver failure, warn scientists (Page 3) Thread: Revealed: Monsanto GM corn caused tumors in rats 5***** Here's another thread about them quelling knowledge of how Roundup possibly is what is killing the bees. Thread: Illinois Department of Agriculture secretly destroys beekeeper's bees and 15 years of research proving Monsanto's Roundup kills bees They've got this pretty tight. My take. They are replacing the worlds food crops with variants that don't produce seeds? Or some of them from what I understand. I read about this in some rice variant being used in Asia. While simultaneously killing a major pollinator? Their plants themselves contain the Roundup. Bad news probably for those planning on farming their own organic food for large populations locally. IDK. Just seems insidious. |
