What kind of person, even as the head of a major food retailer, would want to feed developing children pesticides and questionable genetically modified ingredients? That’s a question to consider when you find out that one of Gerber’s popular baby food items has been found to be full of insecticidal GMOs.
Do these executives not realize they are feeding these to our children or do they just not care?
Lab tests have confirmed that Gerber’s Lil’ Crunchies snacks are full of Roundup Ready, insecticidal GMO ingredients. Even the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued a policy statement recommending that children’s exposure to pesticides be reduced. How can this company put them in a snack that little ones are meant to munch on?
“Children encounter pesticides daily and have unique susceptibilities to their potential toxicity. Epidemiologic evidence demonstrates associations between early life exposure to pesticides and pediatric cancers, decreased cognitive function, and behavioral problems.” ~ AAP
A package of Gerber Graduates Lil’ Crunchies Veggie Dip Baked Whole Grain Corn Snack were sent to an independent lab and 100% of the corn in the product was found to be derived from GMOs, according to the report. This herbicide-resistant, Roundup Ready corn has been shown to cause liver and kidney problems, among other adverse health issues. It is also known to be toxic to human cells, damaging to male reproductive organs, detrimental to healthy gut flora, and can add to the fragility of a developing fetus.

And unfortunately, mothers who can’t afford the good stuff are given this low-quality formula. Mothers and babies who receive federally-funded WIC assistance (Women, Infants and Children Program) are usually provided with formula comprised of GMO ingredients, including GMO corn and GMO soy. Mothers who desire organic baby formula for their developing children are denied it. Are the poor relegated to carcinogenic, developmentally-altering, genetically modified food, and nothing else?
Does Gerber’s VP of nutrition really think this is a great thing to put in food meant for consumption by small children?
Gerber has also been known to put GMOs in baby formula – so if they don’t get you at infancy now, they are targeting your toddler. It’s time to Boycott this horrible company, for good. It is clear they don’t make safe products for your family. They just make profits utilizing GM poison.

Wow, That is bad.
“Do these executives not realize they are feeding these to our children or do they just not care?” you ask?
They are psychopaths, with no conscience, no compassion, just the unquenchable desire for more power.
If you think this is an isolated incident, think again. If you think this is the worst example of corporate greed killing children, then watch this video exposing Bayer corporation knowingly selling aids infected medication to hemophiliacs, most of whom were children

Well we get a good close and in-depth understanding of this type of mentality here as we read the comments from Monsanto supporting trolls who don’t care who gets poisoned in the pursuit of profits and power. It sort of gives you an idea of what makes this individual tick and their total disregard for the health and safety of farmworkers and the consumer. It sort of reminds me of the Nazis who would even kill children all in the interests of power and money.
I bet the Monsanto supporters here disagree with this revelation.
You bet, guys like Hugh Grant, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Psychopath

Until a critical mass of living humans take peaceful action to end assault on life, public ‘silence’ is implied CONsent for those who govern to do as they please.
Just another Natural Nut Job is what she should say about herself. Just another fear mongering food whore for a cult.
Disinformation and total BS. A public display of Christinas ignorance of what GMO is.
People who are self seeking out for Profit and chasing money over what’s good for peoples health. Anyone who works for these corrupt companies or farms using these poisonous farming practices are giving we the people Poisons for their Profit. Very sad that people can’t do what is right and do organic farming. Support organic buy organic eat organic for your and your families health. Vote with your dollars don’t buy conventional food which contains roundup ready GMO’s which are neurotoxins and carcinogens.
