Poland To Ban Monsanto’s Genetically Modified Maize
Poland will impose a complete ban on growing the MON810 genetically modified strain of maize made by US company Monsanto on its territory, Agriculture Minister Marek Sawicki said Wednesday.
“The decree is in the works. It introduces a complete ban on the MON810 strain of maize in Poland,” Sawicki told reporters, adding that pollen of this strain could have a harmful effect on bees.
On March 9, seven European countries — Belgium, Britain, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Ireland and Slovakia — blocked a proposal by the Danish EU presidency to allow the cultivation of genetically-modified plants on the continent.
Seven days after that, France imposed a temporary ban on the MON810 strain.
Talks on allowing the growing of genetically-modified plants on EU soil are now deadlocked as no majority has emerged among the 27 member states.
Greetings, we are Anonymous. This is a message to the Food and Drug Administration.
You’re distribution of poison for every man, woman and child in the United States has been noted by Anonymous. Over the years, we have been watching you. We have watched your campaigns of lies, how you ignore the peoples cries of protest, and your censorship of the information that should be published on every newspaper and magazine. Your laws designed to suppress the freedoms of the people, how you kill hundreds of thousands every day slowly. We have seen you imprison those who try to save the people from you. Your corrupted organization has been made clear to us that you do not respect nor care about the freedoms and wellbeing of everyone you were employed to help. Anonymous as therefore decided that the Food and Drug Administration must be destroyed. For the good of the children and for the good of the people you poison, and for our own enjoyment. We see you as a serious threat and we are ready to expel you from the face of the earth and the internet. You will not survive against the wrath of the angry masses, or Anonymous. You may tell those that we have targeted you for destruction; in fact, it is encouraged, for our enjoyment, for the lulz. You won’t prevail against us, for we are everywhere.
Your crimes against the health and well being of everyone and your punishment against those who would expose the truth will no longer be tolerated. Your enabling of corrupt laws to line the pockets of greedy corporations will not be accepted. You will be exposed to the people, and you will be removed from the internet and your organization will be destroyed. Your days of deceit are over. Revolution is here. The people will rise up against your profiteering and your corruption. We shall destroy your corrupt regimes. We will cure the poison that is the FDA.
To the people of the United States, we ask you not to buy the foods and drinks at the super market, instead, buy foods from your local organic markets, do not buy sugar free products, do not buy products tainted with monosodium glutamate or toxic preservatives, do not buy any breakfast cereals, do not buy medications with serious side effects, buy products that contain Cane Sugar, buy products that have been grown locally on the farms in your area, buy medication that has little to no side effects. End the crimes of the FDA. Expose the truth.
Operation AntiTox, engaged.
We are Anonymous, We are Legion, We do not forgive, We do not forget, Expect us.
Yes! I’ve been wondering if Anonymous was going to tackle our food and water supply. Can we also encourage people to not buy from any of the restaurants that serve the contaminated food/water, grow food yourself or start community gardens, eat less meat overall, and expose the truth about dairy, soy, and other foods? There is an endless amount of disinformation about food and health out there, it’s time to take it all down.
While the farm bills provide a predictable opportunity for our policymakers to address agricultural and food issues more comprehensively, they can have a wide variety of effects - from forming a broad coalition of support to furious debate within the U.S. as well as internationally.
Monsanto, Dow, Dupont and friends may have reached a new low by bringing their genetically engineered lies into the classroom via their new Look Closer at Biotechnology, an activity book/fairy tale that tells kids about “all the wonderful ways” that biotechnology grows more food, helps the environment and improves our health, none of which is true, but anyway….Brought to you by the Council for Biotechnology Information (sic), a corporate mouthpiece whose sole aim is to make more money for these guys.
“Hi Kids! This is an activity book for young people like you about biotechnology - a really neat topic. Why is it such a neat topic? Because biotechnology is helping to improve the health of the Earth and the people who call it home.”
You will see that biotechnology is being used to figure out how to (1) grow more food; (2) help the environment; and (3) grow more nutritious food that improves our health.
The rest of the booklet is even worse. The publisher, the Council for Biotechnology Information, is a non-profit organization designed to promote the business interests of the biotech industry. In fact, they contributed $375,000 to the Coalition Against the Costly Labeling Law, a front group trying to defeat the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act of 2012. If passed, this bill would ban food manufacturers and retailers from labeling genetically-engineered foods as “natural” or “all-natural”, as well as requiring them to label foods containing genetically-engineered ingredients. Clearly, CBI has no regard for any science-based information, and is very much brainwashing children with these booklets.
Again, genetically-engineered foods are becoming harder and harder to avoid. Growing your own fruits and vegetables from heirloom/organic seeds is one of the best way to be completely sure the vegetation you eat is healthy.
(1) Cut the top off of the pineapple, leaving about an inch of flesh below the greenery.
(2) Place the top in a dish of water, with the water halfway up the flesh, for three days in a well-lit window.
(3) Plant the top in a large pot with good, [organic] potting soil. That’s it! If you do not see any root sprouts when you go to plant the top don’t worry, it will still take root.
Tips: Once the pineapple has been planted, be sure not to overwater it. This plant likes to be watered twice a week, straight down the middle. The dirt should be damp or moist… and fertilize well. You should have your very own pineapples growing within 24-36 months!
The next time I see pineapples on sale, I’m definitely going to try this.
Made my lunch for tomorrow. Citrus and parsley shrimp with a spinach salad, avocado, blackberries, and flowers. I made a lemon dressing to go on it as well. It’s my first time trying edible flowers, so I’m kind of excited. They’re full of macronutrients, high in vitamins A and C, and other nutrients. I think to use up the rest of the pansies and roses, I’ll make some crystallized flowers…
And unfortunately, most, if not all of these companies are somehow owned or partly owned by Monsanto, the biggest producer of genetically-modified crops.
