Thread: Genetic Roulette - Seeds of Deception

Genetic Roulette
The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods

by Jeffrey M. Smith

Eating genetically modified food is gambling with every bite.
The biotech industry's claim that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe is shattered in this groundbreaking book. Sixty-five health risks of the foods that Americans eat every day are presented in easy-to-read two-page spreads. The left page is designed for the quick scanning reader; it includes bullets, illustrations, and quotes. The right side offers fully referenced text, describing both research studies and theoretical risks. The second half of Genetic Roulette shows how safety assessments on GM crops are not competent to identify the health problems presented in the first half.

This book, prepared in collaboration with a team of international scientists, is for anyone wanting to understand GM technology, to learn how to protect themselves, or to share their concerns with others. It is presented in the clear, accessible style that made Jeffrey Smith's Seeds of Deception the world's best-selling book on genetically engineered foods. As the world's most complete reference on the health risks of GM foods, Genetic Roulette is also ideal for schools and libraries.

Can we all say MONSANTO? They started this crap with their GM seeds. They even managed to put a terminator gene into second generation seed that was sold to farmers in Africa. Farmers save seed but those seeds will not sprout the next year, so therefore they have to go back to Monsanto to buy more seed the next year. Gotta keep the money rolling in at the expense of subsistence farmers in Africa.
Then they invented Round-Up ready crops (like soybeans and corn) so farmers would not only buy their seed, but also their herbicide: Round-Up.
For those interested there is a current investigation by the feds:

But it gets worse. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) introduced the Food Safety Modernization Act in Congress (HR875). Her hubby happens to be a bigwig at Monsanto.
