Map of GMO free regions in Europe - EU

You are not the only one who did think the same way.
So we seems to be both stupid,
or .... mislead.

I read recently somewhere that the reason Cancer rates are skyrocketing is to do with the pesticides and fungicides that we use in our crops.

In the old days we would eat food grown in our gardens or by farmers that did not dowse everything in fungicide. This produce had natural ingredients to fight off any cancer cells circulating in the body.

The fungicides put on crops today kill off these natural ingredients so when ingested are no use against the cancer cells hence the increased rates of Cancer.

There is a lot of information coming forward that points to the fact that cancer may in fact be a fungus (Italian Doctor is putting forward the theory) so this makes sense.

Long story short, grow your own food if possible. Go to the Farmers Markets or buy off local organic farmers. This will up your chances of being Cancer Free.

BTW - TPTB know all of this is the case but continue the use of GM Foods, etc, because it is way to continue Population Control.

Remember the potatoes they did modify ?
Protesters did try to destroy the fields.
They face criminal charges and jail.

Nobody does worry about the long term risk and the legal
aspects to patent foot such as potatoes, rice, corn...

It is their first step to kill or enslave people, maybe
to destroy nature itself.

Nobody cares.

Btw a lot of Belgian Universities are involved and do receive money from Bayer and Monsanto....

The great bio-'technology' science...

im from serbia which im glad is not part of the eu... you can be sure not to find processed or gmo food in serbia... most people are villagers growin their own

It is misleading. EU allows only 2 varieties of GMO corn and potato. Growing of GMO is not allowed here too. Only experimental or scientific growth in controlled environment, where spreading is prevented. The law just tells that to do that, you must get approval from ministry. No sane minister would allow it to grow in open field, as it's clear political suicide. It did happen once and ended in parliament sooner than plants were planted.
There were several scandals. Traces 0,3% were found in Rapeseeds (used for biofuel?) which are likely the result of contamination coming from transport used also for imported animal feedingstuff. Seeds, plants from fields did not have it and were not destroyed. Now there is increased DNA testing.

The problem, GMO is imported, used to feed animals. There are allowed 30 varieties of GMO that can be imported into EU: 17 corn, 6 rapeseed, 5 cotton, 2 soybeans.

No, it is not.

If you follow the link and click on the countries' pages on the left side, you'll see what I mean.

In Belgium, we did think GM food was banned,
until we saw in the news protesters did try to
ruin a field full of those genetic manipulated
potatoes.

The rule was, for scientific research, there can
be such fields if they are well separated from
the surrounding nature !

So they did put some fences arround it.

Of course, the bees, moles, etc can pass freely.
There is interaction.

But who cares. They will put the protesters to jail.

Fences ! Oh yeah, this stops for sure spreading or interaction with the surrounded nature !

The fences :-)

GMO is not grown in Lithuania so still GMO free. At least MSM tells that. It is not banned completely in the law, permit is required, so one can only hope that it won't happen in the future, permit won't be issued.

Friesland is a GMO free region though.

Let's move to Friesland :-D

Already live there, its OK.

However, AH, Poiesz, Aldi, Lidl and all the others have the same stuff everywhere.

Its taken me a week to find non GMO masa corn flour. Finally had to special order it from a health food store. This is what you use to make tortillas. Sad that the staple food for Mexicans is almost 100% GMO.

Best to avoid vegetables that are notorious for GMO use.

Soak your veggies properly, half an hour with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), rinse well.

Better Labeling is the key !

Lucky you... avoid joining the EU whenever you can !

We have good GMO labeling in Germany

How is Holland doing with the labeling ?

Good thread, OP.

Let's not overreact.
