By Rady Ananda

A United States federal jury ruled this month that Bayer CropScience must pay $2 million to two Missouri farmers for contaminating their rice crops with illegal GMO rice. Farmers Ken Bell and Johnny Hunter, the first in a series of 1200 such litigants, lost sales overseas as a result.

Battle against GMOs is socio-economic too

Most people have heard about how GMOs can affect their health, cause cancer, reproductive disorders, diabetes and the likes. This is true, but the adverse consequences of GMOs are actually even more frightening. Take the example of a bacteria-modified plant. The plant is injected with bacteria to make it more robust, but because of this, the plant actually thinks it is a bacteria and spreads toxins in the area around it, killing other plants and organisms like earthworms.

The 5 Pillars of Food Safety

The USA is presently the richest and scientifically the most advanced country in the world. Its people spend proportionately the least amount of their incomes on food supply. On the other hand, the incidence of food-borne disease (FBD) in this country is the highest anywhere on the earth. The closest example of another country in this regard is Canada.

The source of FBD during approximately the last 50 years is reported to originate from indiscriminate application of the following five substances in food production: hormones, antibiotics, slaughterhouse wastes, Genetically Modified Organisms and pesticides. The types of FBD that these substances induce include cancer, antibiotic-resistant infections, neurological conditions, including BSE/CJD, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and immune, reproductive and other disorders.

None of the five substances is proved to be safe as required under the Food and Drugs Act of either U.S. or Canada. However, the first three of these products, i.e. hormones, antibiotics and slaughterhouse wastes, are unequivocally banned to be utilized in food production throughout the European Union countries. Consequently, U.S. and Canadian beef is not allowed to be imported into EU countries. However, the U.S. and Canadian regulatory authorities argue that the incriminating substances pose no risk to human health. Therefore, the issue is being contested before the World Trade Organization for approximately the last two decades.

Meanwhile, all five of these products continue to be marketed contrary to the Food and Drug Act of both U.S. and Canada. It is time to revise these policies and thereby protect public health and safety. In doing so, one would invoke what I refer to as the Five Pillars of Food Safety.

H1N1 Vaccine Warning: In their own words!

anil — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:37:56 +0000

The link at the bottom of this post is to the official leaflet for their H1N1 Vaccine that is available in Canada.
This is public information but I doubt many read it. Please take the time to do so and encourage others as well.

Note that the manufacturer takes no legal responsibility should any adverse reaction happen to you or your dear ones taking this vaccine. Furthermore, because Health Canada approved the sale of this vaccine, under presumed occurrence of H1N1 ”pandemic”, the government is also not responsible. Also, because everything is declared on the label the expectation is that only you and your dear ones should be resposnsible for the decision to receive it.

Pay very close attention to pages 22 and 23. Read both the ingredients and the risks.
