    Monsanto is The Evil Empire! They push GMO crops and poison on the world.

    Rep.
    Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) didn’t like the fact that consumer groups renamed
    his bill to kill state GMO labeling laws the “Deny Americans the Right
    to Know (DARK) Act.” So, in order to appear to be on the side of
    consumers who want the right to know if their food contains GMOs, Pompeo
    has reintroduced the bill, [LINK TO COME] with a new plan.

    The new-and-improved (but really much worse)
    DARK Act would still do what it set out to do—strip states of their
    century-old rights to pass food labeling laws. But the bill now also
    includes a scheme for a national, uniform standard for labeling products
    non-GMO—a new program that would be overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

    Really? Pompeo, a member of the Republican Party which
    purports to stand for states’ rights and is allegedly anti-big
    government, wants to create yet another federal government-run program?
    This time, to certify non-GMO? We fail to see how that’s preferable to
    just requiring food manufacturers to do what they already do in more
    than 60 other countries—simply state whether or not their products
    contain GMOS?

    The DARK Act 2.0 was introduced on the heels of a
    hearing held this week by the House Committee on Agriculture to, the
    committee said, examine the “Cost and Impacts of States Implementing
    Mandatory Biotechnology Labeling Laws.” During that hearing, industry
    trotted out all of its talking points, including false claims that
    labeling will cost food manufacturers millions of dollars, a cost
    they’ll have to pass on to consumers. Never mind that study after study
    has proven otherwise. That food manufacturers change their labels all
    the time. And that in countries where GMO labeling is required, costs
    have not been passed on to consumers.

    Pompeo’s bill has nothing to do with protecting
    consumer or states’ rights, and everything to do with protecting the
    profits of those companies—like Monsanto and Coca-Cola—who have
    essentially written this law. It’s an outrage. And we will do everything
    in our power to stop it dead in its tracks.

    Biological impact of feeding rats with a genetically modified-based diet

    This work was conducted in the context of post-marketing bio-safety assessment of genetically modified products. It presents a systematic approach based on a chronic toxicity study on Wistar albino rats, with a range of combined parameters including biochemical, histopathological, and cytogenetic to evaluate the negative impact of a genetically modified (GM) diet on animal health. Histopathological and biochemical analysis procedures were performed in the liver, kidney, and testis.
    Cytogenetic analysis was evaluated in germ cells and the liver. The results revealed that the laboratory diet used in our investigation was proved experimentally, using the PCR assay, to contain genetically modified components without being labeled as such. The results of all parameters evaluated in our investigation were consistent and confirm that the GM diet fed to rats for 30, 60, or 90 days has deleterious histopathological and histochemical impacts. Biochemical alterations in
    alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine, uric acid, and malondialdehyde concentrations were also observed. Genotoxicity of the GM diet was also demonstrated in germ cells as increased numbers of cells with chromosomal aberrations and in liver cells as increased ratios of DNA fragmentation. In conclusion, the results of the present work indicate that there are health hazards linked to the ingestion of diets containing genetically modified components.

  5. They have let them get away with it for over 20 years and now they are getting pressure from the whole world to expose how dangerous Roundup really is!
