Ah the end of summer, school is back in, the crops to be harvested ... sounds nice ...?
Yeah, no.
http://naturalsociety.com/6-new-gmo-crops-soon-hit-dinner-table/#ixzz258DwRijC (thanks Buzzflash!)
•Dow 2,4-D and Glufosinate Tolerant Soybean - Since the US first began using GM crops, our herbicide usage has been boosted by 300 million pounds, despite claims by biotech behemoths that other plants like weeds would not grow resistant to glyphosate – commonly known as RoundUp. And now, we have “superweeds.” Of course, biotech (and seemingly the USDA) doesn’t care, and they plan on adding the 2,4-D herbicide and dicamba (see number 4) to the list. Take action here.
•Syngenta Corn Rootworm Resistant Corn - Plenty of nations have banned Syngenta’s GM Bt crops—but not the US. This type of corn produces its own pesticides and kills all bugs, good or bad, which also means livestock can get sick from eating it. Research says that 80% of pregnant women have Bt toxins in their blood. Take action here.
•Okanagan Non-Browning Apple - Conventional apples are covered in pesticides. That’s why we buy organic, but Okanagan has produced the first GM apple. Take action against genetically modified apples right here.
•Monsanto Dicamba Tolerant Soybean - Take action here.
•Dow 2,4-D, Dlyphosate and Glufosinate Tolerant Soybean - Take action here.
•Genective Glyphosate Tolerant Corn
No doubt the American corporate media misinforms the public on this? You bet.
