Look for food labelled with USDA Organic for Non-GMO

Despite the publicity of the First Lady talking about Americans eating healthier food, the Obama administration has continued the march of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) to destroy our food system.  The US is arguably the most GMO-devastated economy in the world.   At least 40 countries around the world require GMO labeling, including china, Russia, India and Saudi Arabia.

GMOs are not designed to increase food output, they are merely designed for greater application of pesticides.  This is not surprising since their principal proponent is a pesticide company, Monsantao.  The same Monsanto that Obama has been recruiting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) leadership from.  Talk about the wolves watching the hen house.  Just as the overuse of antibiotics creates super-germs, the over-application of pesticides has been creating super-weeds.   It is simple survival of the fittest.  The pesticides kill off the weak weeds, so only the strong survive and breed.  As the pesticide use increases, it breeds more pesticide resistant weeds.  A viscious cycle for food production, but a profitable situation for Monsanto.  As food output dwindles do to superweeds, farmers are forced to buy more and more pesticide to try to keep up.

This voluntary food label will also ensure no GMOs.

Remember that pesticide is poison.  Humans are not immune to these poisons.  GMOs can cause irritable bowels, allergies, lymphoma, birth defects, cancer, liver damage, kidney damage, and reproductive damage.

GMOs have already overtaken in major food crops such as soy, cotton (cotton seed oil), Corn (including high fructose corn syrup), rapeseed (canola oil), sugar beets, milk, and aspartame.  In 2009, the Obama administration removed all regulation of GMOs in Papayas.  In 2011, the Obama administration removed all regulation of GMOs in Alfalfa.   The Obama administration is on track to remove all regulation of GMOs in zucchini, squash, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, rice, and salmon.
