Industry’s Secret Plan to Get the Feds to Kill GMO Labeling
from Michelle Simon
With the disappointing results now in from I-522, the initiative in Washington State that would have required labeling of genetically-engineered food (aka GMOs), the looming question is, what’s next? At least for the junk food lobby, that answer in painfully clear: stop this state-level movement at any cost. In today’s New York Times, Stephanie Strom reports on the dirty details contained in industry documents that I obtained from the Washington State attorney general’s office in the wake of a lawsuit brought against the Grocery Manufacturers Association for illegally concealing donors to the No on 522 campaign.
As I explained back in February, the food industry’s ultimate game plan to stop the bleeding in the state-by-state onslaught of GMO labeling efforts is to lobby for a weak federal law that simultaneously preempts or trumps any state-level policy. While we have known that industry would want to put an end to the public relations nightmare happening state by state, this document for the first time reveals the lobbyists’ specific strategy.

Not one reputable study has ever linked GMO foods to harming humans, not one. GMO is growing, and here to stay, get over it.

Wow, you’re so informed! Oh wait, wait, actually every scientist who has ever studied it on lower mammals has found very disturbing implications for human beings, ranchers report that their animals get sick or become sterile when feeding them GMO corn, lab rats go sterile in three generations on GM diets, and our own FDA including the lead scientist assigned to examine GMOs (before greasing in DC got them classified as GRAS, like natural foods) found that they contain unique toxins and allergens that would be hard to find and lead to new types of allergies and possibly worse in humans, and that much further testing was required to ascertain the safety of any of them You’re just not told about all these because the chemical-frankenfood companies keep forcing the law to warp its way into opposition to our Constitution and our consumer right to know. You do live in America, right? Are you aware we have a right to know what we’re eating. Say, pseudo-scientific parrot-type, let me ask you a question: if GMOs are so safe, where are all the studies proving that? Or any? DId you ever think to ask that, you vapid, right-surrendering ignoramus, easily fooled by “scientific” talking points and incapable of even ten minutes of your own research into probably the single most important thing you could be informed about?

1,251 Fans·Get over it. It's the Shock Doctrine (book)
Unfortunately we have another monster headed our way. They won't stop. And if the TPP is passed this Christmas as Obama and the Republicans want, ... we are fried.
See this, is nano technology for your food, they already started using synthetic "herb remedies" in patented pills form, and of course with prescription and very expensive. They are planning to abolish ALL supplements. Just wait for their side effects. I tried one, already, .... it doesnt' do anything and are very dangerous. The US started using their patents overseas already. I don't know how they do that. But obviously it's because here we'll give them a hard time.
Here more news about nanotechnology to make our food to make us, well, worst than zombies and very sick:
