Should You Be Eating Genetically Engineered Foods?

Warning!
According to Organic Consumers Association
(http://www.organicconsumers.org/) many of the large food manufacturers and distributors like Kellogg’s, Coca Cola, Kraft and others are getting their sugar from Monsanto’s genetically engineered sugar beets. Do you have any idea how many processed foods contain sugar? Thousands!

Many scientists are concerned that genetically engineered foods may affect you in many ways such as:

• Aggravate allergies
• Increase cancer risks
• Result in antibiotic resistant pathogens
• Decrease food quality
• Produce dangerous toxins
• Spread to non genetically altered plants and change them forever,
• Permanently alter the gene pool of many plants
• Increase toxic pesticide use since genetically engineered foods can withstand them
• Increase pollution
• Result in super pests and superweeds

Also,  do you realize that the Federal Government does not require safety testing or labeling for genetically engineered foods?  Does that concern you at all?  Don’t you think they should at least warn you with proper labeling and let you make the decision on whether or not you want to subject your family to genetically engineered foods?

Like to know what you can do about it?

• Do your research on the subject and get informed
• Tell your local grocer to stop buying genetically modified foods
• Boycott companies that continue to sell such products
• Organize people in your neighborhood and city to get the word out about the dangers of genetically engineered foods
• Buy only certified organic foods
• Write your congress-person and insist on legislation to require labeling that identifies genetically engineering foods and to require safety testing
• Better yet let’s outlaw genetically engineered food crops

Take action, get informed, and get involved!
