.............IF it's true, that is......

Not a single mainstream media outlet has covered this appalling new report that shows millions of people being poisoned by a chemical that does not belong in our food. This chemical is ending up in processed foods like Cheerios, Ritz Crackers, and Oreos and being consumed by humans across the world.

A FDA-registered food safety laboratory tested iconic American food for residues of the weed-killer glyphosate (Monsanto's Roundup) and found ALARMING amounts.
Just to give you an idea of how outrageous these amounts are, independent research shows that probable harm to human health begins at really low levels of exposure – at only 0.1 ppb of glyphosate. Many foods were found to have over 1,000 times this amount:

Jane Goodall said, "One day we shall look back on this dark era of agriculture and shake our heads. How could we have ever believed it was a good idea to grow our foods with poisons?"

GMOs are now mostly banned in Europe, and all labelled except in a few cases. Sixty four countries label GMOs (not Canada, though, for the government has been bought out by evil corp who has denied us our right to make educated choices around what we eat) and several ban GMOs. None of the promises of big agriculture have come to fruition in the more than twenty years that foods have been modified, ostensibly to feed the starving masses. Six points against GMOs:

1. Typically monocrops, they are the antithesis of biodiversity.

2. Most are modified not to enhance yield or nutritional values, but to express or resist a pesticide or herbicide, some of which are killing off our bees, needed for pollination of crops.

3. Declared by WHO to be probable carcinogens.

4. They cross pollinate, contaminating other crops.

5. They involve patents on life.

6. They are tested and declared safe by the same companies that profit from them.

Despite the millions Big Biotec, Big Food, and Big Ag have spent to stifle GMO labeling, despite the US Dark Act that recently passed, despite the billions in subsidies and lobbying money and corporate science to convince us otherwise, the organics food industry is over 40 billion dollars in the USA and remains one of the fastest growing sectors in food.

Organics does not permit the use of genetically modified organisms. Moreover, the "Non GMO Verified" label is the fastest growing label in the natural food industry. People want to know what they are eating and they do not want genetically engineering in their food.

In British Columbia, there are 16 regions and 61 municipalities who have adopted a GE Free resolution.

The Dark Act (Deny Americans the Right-to-Know)

On June 23, 2016, Senators Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) introduced a compromise bill that would create a mandatory, national labeling standard for GMO foods. This bill was passed by the Senate on July 7th and the House of Representatives on July 14th.

Although this bill is the first mandatory legislation introduced in Congress it falls short of what consumers expect — a simple at-a-glance disclosure on the package. As written, this compromise might not even apply to ingredients derived from GMO soybeans and GMO sugar beets.

In 2014, Vermont became the first state to require mandatory GMO labeling. Connecticut and Maine have also passed GMO labeling laws that will go into effect once neighboring states pass similar laws and other states are currently looking to pass GMO labeling legislation.

In response to these state efforts, Representatives Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) and G. K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) introduced federal legislation developed by food companies that we in the consumer rights community have dubbed the “Deny Americans the Right-to-Know” Act (DARK Act). This anti-GMO labeling bill passed the House of Representatives in 2015 and Senator Roberts introduced similar legislation in 2016 that was DEFEATED on March 16th. This is not the end of the fight and we need to continue pressing for mandatory GMO labeling on the package.

Senate Republicans will continue to push their agenda of a voluntary standard and we need to keep the pressure on our elected officials that more than 90% of Americans support mandatory GMO labeling, not voluntary.

There is an alternative to the DARK Act. Senator Merkley (D-OR) has introduced a bill that allows the industry different options to comply with a mandatory, on package, solution that will give consumers the information they want. Just Label It supports this bill and encourages constituents to reach out to their Senators and ask them to support this legislation.

The most recent Senate version of the “Deny Americans the
Right to Know” (DARK) Act, that was defeated, would have:

1) Preempted states from requiring the labeling of GMO foods.
2) Continued the current, broken voluntary labeling system by permitting companies to use 1-800 numbers, URLs, QR codes and even social media to provide consumers with GMO information.
3) Allowed USDA to determine what GMO information is provided through the voluntary labeling system.
4) Permitted the USDA to require the use of 1-800 numbers, URLs, QR codes or other off-pack disclosure five
years after enactment.
5) Made it harder for companies like Campbell’s Soup to voluntarily disclose the presence of GMOs.

Americans want the Right to Know:

Polls show nearly 90 percent of Americans support on package labeling of GMO food.
64 nations require labeling including Russia, China, the EU, and important trading partners in Asia.
More than 4 million Americans have joined a petition urging FDA to require labeling of GMO food.
Hundreds of food companies urged President Obama to honor his pledge to require GMO labeling.

Americans want an on package disclosure for GMO foods:

New polling show that more than 88% of Americans want an on package label vs. a QR code.
QR codes are not an effective way for consumers to get information.

Dispelling GMO Labeling Myths:

GMO labeling will not increase food prices. Companies frequently change labels to highlight new innovations or to make new claims.
Voluntary labeling will not work. Companies have been allowed to make voluntary non-GMO disclosures since 2001, but consumers are more confused than ever.
There is no “patchwork quilt.” Current state GMO labeling laws are virtually identical, so there will be no “patchwork quilt” of different state laws. The responsible solution to concerns over a possible future patchwork would be the establishment of a uniform, national mandatory labeling standard.
GMO crops do not feed the world. Conventional and GMO corn and soybean yields have increased at the same rate. What’s more, farmers produce only 4 percent of rice, wheat, fruits, and vegetables, and most U.S. corn and soybeans are used for animal feed and ethanol, not food.
GMO crops have increased herbicide applications. Widespread adoption of GMO crops has increased annual applications of glyphosate – a probable human carcinogen – from 16 million pounds to more than 280 million pounds.
GMO crops have led to more toxic herbicides. As weeds have become resistant to glyphosate, farmers have turned to more toxic weed killers linked to cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and reproductive problems. GMO Labeling In Congress | Just Label It

I agree when we buy food at stores you have no idea what your really eating even though the FDA says it is safe that is a bunch of hog wash. The only safe food to eat really are foods you grow yourself or animals you have in your own flock. If you put anything in your body that comes from a grocery store you are at risk for God only knows what. It is sad that FDA does not care about the health of people enough to put better restrictions on foods. The problem is other countries will not comply and excuse after excuse is made. In one of my classes I read that cloned animals will make up 80 percent of our foods soon and we will not even know which ones are cloned or not etc.... The reason being is that food demands are so high that natural animals and foods are growing fast enough.. or in large enough amounts.

I'm so worried about chemicals in food...

I've decide to consume nothing but air.

when we had a TV, we watched a program on the channel that exposes the things that
are helping to the killing of people all over the world...

one of the things that they showed was that they put a conglomerate of chems together to
make something that looked like cardboard and gave it a name that people would accept as
a healthy additive, but in actuality, it was just what it was, a pure deathly combination of
chemicals that our country accepted and allowed them to add to many of our of store bought foods...

it was truly disgusting, if I could recall what they called it I would post it, but it has been a while
and I just can't remember what it was called...but, I'm sure it was just one of many...

I like to fall back on scripture Mark 16:18. I'm not saying to be crazy and start picking up deadly snakes or swallow poison daily, but we should put our faith in God that He will protect us from these added poisons.

Proverbs
2

1 .) My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 .) So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 .) Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 .) If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 .) Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6 .) For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 .) He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 .) He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 .) Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10 .) When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 .) Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12 .) To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

True.

Quick Look at COMMON SENSE:

What we call "common sense" ( things which are self evident, or which are easy to understand with only the basest level of logic or philosophy) are probably things which, in bible language, fall under the headings of "wisdom" or "understanding".

So, it seems the "principle" of common sense actually IS found in scripture.
- The principle appears many times in scripture... that having a belief in God, and a belief in GOD'S DESIGN & ORDER OF THINGS... can give great understanding even to simple people.
- I think THIS is what we would refer to as common sense.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

What's really interesting, is this level of wisdom which we call common sense... it seems to arrive with the mere BELIEF IN GOD... not the deep study of scripture.
- Study, of course, is said to give us more understanding and wisdom.... and study is commanded.
- BUT... the mere BELIEF IN GOD creates such a massive PARADIGM SHIFT in our reasoning... that this alone seems to actually imbue us, even the most simple among us, with a great deal of wisdom.

And that is what we seem to find in Scripture, and... what we seem to find all around us, experientially.
The mere BELIEF IN GOD creates such a drastic paradigm shift in our reasoning, that this alone imbues us with a great deal of divine wisdom.

(This is just a very rudimentary look at some things which have infinite complexity. But, I think it gets in the ballpark on the basics.)

GMO foods and this glyphosate showing up in all kinds of popular food products is most likely the work of the illuminati. They want to drastically reduce the world's population because they think it will create a utopia where there's plenty of resources for everyone left and they can all live like kings and queens... But they have to kill us off in subversive ways so we don't get wind of what's really going on...

Glyphosate can actually increase bladder cancer....I saw a news report that once they started using it in Europe somewhere (netherlands maybe? idk_) the rate of bladder cancer increased 200% after they used this for 2 years or so.....

All the food in walmart, kroger, aldi, albertsons etc is all GMO there is no way to avoid it except move to Russia where all GMO food is banned and monsanto (the human depopulation corporation) is banned as well......that's the whole reason there is a conflict in Ukraine b/c monsanto using the US military has interests in the rich fertile soil of Ukraine....It really has nothing to do with Putin/Russia being blamed as bad guys when in reality they are protecting their Russian border/land from these neo-con corporations....

my husband and I would more that likely be dead by now if the Lord had not made it possible for
us to own our home and have the strength and stamina to grow an organic garden...plus He has taught
us over many years how to use pre-ventative medicine in order to stay well and be well...

in our younger days, we both had horrific experiences (health-wise) and without our Father's loving directions,
we would more than likely be in a nursing home now or dead...

take control of your own lives, read, learn, pray, depend on your Saviour to save you,
if this is your will, He will guide you and teach you how to live a full and productive life, despite
the damage we have done to ourselves...

like it is written:
111JOHN 1:2.
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
