Aggregate Findings of Over 100 GMO Rodent Feedings Studies

Over 100 Rodent feeding studies find harm using Roundup Ready and Bt toxin insecticide producing varieties of genetically modified foods that are on the market today and in our food supply. Harmful effects included: Stomach barrier damage, increased risk of intestinal infections, high cholesterol, high blood sugar; reproductive issues including lower birth weight and increased mortality of offspring; organ disturbances in the pancreas, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes; other disturbances including disturbances to the immune system, blood biochemistry and functioning of the digestive system. No wonder there is no consensus on the safety of GMO foods. The human experiment continues, unmonitored. Feel like a lab rat?

New Billboard Warning of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes

Key Largo, FL — Today a large billboard warns residents and visitors “Genetically Modified Mosquitoes to be released in the Keys.” The South-bound traffic facing sign, located at mile marker 94, reflects the growing opposition to the pending decision about the release of millions of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes (GMMs) in Monroe County, Florida. The Florida Keys Mosquito Control District is expected to vote on the release tomorrow afternoon, July 21, 2020, at its public meeting. Public comments will be heard at 5pm EST. If approved, it would give a green light for Monroe County (The Florida Keys) to be the first location GMMs will be released in the U.S.

BAN GLYPHOSATE!

Glyphosate, deemed by The W.H.O as a “Probable Human Carcinogen” and most recently, “Roundup causes Liver Disease in Low Doses” there are hundreds of studies that show harm from glyphosate. We the people of Florida are calling for a moratorium on glyphosate to protect people, endangered species, and fragile ecosystems. There is no acceptable level of glyphosate in our bodies or the environment and for this reason we are calling for precautionary principle and a moratorium on glyphosate in the State of Florida.

BREAKING: The EPA is reviewing plans to release Genetically Engineered Mosquitoes in the Florida Keys and Texas. Will you be part of the experiment? Make your voice heard! Make your comment before April 6th, 2018

GMO mosquitoes have already been shipped to Florida. The mosquitoes were developed by a British company called Oxitec using synthetic DNA based on the Herpes Virus and E.coli. There have been no environmental or human health studies and GMO mosquitoes cannot be recalled once they are released. Once they’re out, there is no recall. And once Oxitec has their mosquitoes out in Florida and Texas, you can be sure they’ll do it in other states. Oxitec either can’t or refuses to satisfy basic questions about the potential long-term environmental or health impacts of these lab-created insects. Not needed. Not wanted. Not proven safe.

LAST CHANCE: SAVE GMO LABELING! DARK ACT MOVING TO THE HOUSE. ACT NOW!

Last week the Senate passed the DARKest act yet. This bill is a slap in the face to all Americans. We want transparency! We want clear, on-package labels like 64+ other countries already have. We want #4simplewords #producedwithgeneticengineering #nodark

With this bill, GMO labeling will be hidden behind a QR code. Americans will have to dig for the information they want and be required to have a smart phone, upload an app, go to a website and call an 800 number to find out. Sound like GMO labeling to you?

All along, these Corporations have spent close to 400 million dollars to fight our right to know, including paying off our elected officials. All these years, these corps. have been fighting on-package labels in the US and now suddenly, they want to change all their packaging to add a ridiculous QR code? Adding to the absurdity of this bill, the definition of genetically engineered foods is so ambiguous that most GMO foods will never even be labeled!

Last week the senate passed the DARK Act, a bill that would preempt Vermont’s mandatory GMO labeling law and put in its place a bill that discriminates against a broad number of Americans and is full of loopholes, exemptions and ambiguity. The bill will go to the House Rules Committee on Tuesday afternoon to reconcile with the DARK Act passed by the House last July. Following that, the House will vote and if it passes, the DARK Act will land on President Obama’s desk for him to sign or veto. We must get this White House petition up to 100,000 signatures to force him to reply if the DARK Act should get to his desk next week. Please sign and share widely!

We want transparency and clear on-package label just like 64 other countries already have! #4simplewords #producedwithgeneticengineering #stopdark We have waited 20 years for this Day!  Just as the Vermont GMO labeling law was set to implement on July 1st, our federal government is stepping in to preempt Vermont’s landmark legislation with a supposed federal “compromise”.

MONSANTO’S POLITICIANS UNVEIL ANOTHER DARK ACT

breaking news
Monsanto’s Politicians Unveil the DARKEST Act ever that will Deny Americans The Right to Know Every Single Thing about the GMOs in our food. Senators Pat Roberts and Debbie Stabenow introduced the newest version of the DARK Act, which would preempt Vermont’s GMO labeling law, set to go into effect on July 1st, and prohibit future state GMO labeling laws from being enacted. It would allow companies to use QR codes or 800 numbers as a means of disclosure, rather than the simple words, “produced with genetic engineering”. The bill also exempts many forms of genetically engineered foods from disclosure altogether. UNACCEPTABLE.

CALL TO ACTION

Contact the Florida Keys Tourism Board and tell them Genetically Engineered mosquitoes are bad for tourism. Tell them you won’t be vacationing in Florida if they release GE mosquitoes. 855-969-5216

READ MORE: Florida needs our help. GE mosquitoes have been shipped to Florida and pending approval, could be released in the Keys. British biotech company, Oxitec, is set to release experimental genetically engineered mosquitoes in Key Haven, Florida as early as this year. Proper environmental impact studies have not been performed. Claims that these mosquitoes are only male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, are unable to reproduce or will control dengue fever are either completely false or unsubstantiated. In actuality, instances of dengue fever rose in Brazil where Oxitec performed a test release. Also, thousands of biting females will likely be released. Once they’re out, there is no recall!
