They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety De som kan gi fra seg viktig frihet for å oppnå litt temporær sikkerhet, fortjener hverken frihet eller sikkerhet - Benjamin Franklin
Please send this URGENT message to U.S. Government leaders to protect your right to know which foods are made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Click and send an email today to the Secretaries of State (Clinton), Agriculture (Vilsack), and Health and Human Services (Sebelius). Please try to do this before Wednesday, May 5th, but don’t stop until they come around.
They must stop U.S. negotiators at an international (Codex) conference from May 3-7, from pushing an agenda that could make it difficult for anyone, anywhere in the world to label foods as genetically modified (GM) – or even make non-GMO claims on their product’s label.
The U.S. is taking the ridiculous and unscientific position that GMOs are not different from conventional foods, claiming labels that say GMO or non-GMO are misleading.
If they succeed at the meeting, the U.S. may then file lawsuits through the World Trade Organization against any country that implements mandatory labeling of GMOs, or even allows non-GMO claims on packages.
This Is a Grave Threat to the Non-GMO Tipping Point – We Must Push Back Now!
The growing evidence and concern about health dangers of GMOs is making waves. A renowned US Medical organization (American Academy of Environmental Medicine) called on doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets for all patients. Consumers are seeking non-GMO brands, and the fastest growing claim among store brands in 2009 was “GMO-Free” (Neilson Survey). The trade journal Supermarket News predicts GMO concerns will erupt this year, specifically because consumers are now given choices by the new Non-GMO Shopping Guide website and the Non-GMO Project’s third-party verified standard for making non-GMO claims.
Most Americans (53%) say they would avoid GMOs if they were labeled. But even 5% would likely be enough to create a tipping point of consumer rejection, forcing all GM ingredients out of our food supply.
We can see the tipping point just over the horizon, but it is now threatened by the US position at Codex.
Tell our government leaders that you will not stand for this outrageous obstruction of our democracy and human rights. Demand that the U.S. support the right for countries everywhere to label GMOs. And remind them that 9 out of 10 Americans want mandatory GMO labeling, and that President Obama actually made a campaign pledge to implement it—which we are all waiting for. Send an email today >
Quote: A report has found that farmers are planting too many so-called Roundup Ready crops.These plants are genetically engineered to resist the herbicide Roundup, which allows farmers to spray the chemical to kill weeds without harming their own crops. But overuse of this approach to weed control is becoming a problem. Use of Roundup has increased to the point that weeds are also becoming resistant to the chemical. That means that farmers have to start using additional herbicides, some of them even more toxic than Roundup. More than 80 percent of the corn, soybean and cotton crops grown in the United States are genetically engineered. ..
Sitat: Visioner. Det er visionen med etisk fagbog at vi får promoveret de virksomheder som gør en indsats. Hvem tænker i helheder, og hvem tænker kun i økonomisk vækst for virksomhedens egen bundlinies skyld? Hvis man annoncerer på Etisk Fagbog, gør man indirekte noget for at oplyse om hvad der er rigtigt og hvad der er forkert. Etisk Fagbog er en platform for etisk og filosofisk tænkning i Danmark.
Quote: American Cancer Society argues new findings, that dangers from environmental toxins are greatly underestimated. The jig is up on the real danger of contracting cancer from environmental contamination; it is as real as the struggle of every servicemember in the nation who has fought this deadly affliction. The same as every mother, father, son and daughter. I am not a doctor, nothing close. However, I am a news reporter who happens to keep company with some fantastic physicians and scientists who know a great deal about this. In recent years, along with a team of experts and cancer survivors, I have studied the effects of various carcinogenic toxins and their relationship to cancer. I was a Marine at a base in California, the now-closed El Toro Marine Corps Air Station, which is an environmental monster; an EPA Superfund site - that has contributed to the deaths and illnesses of more Marines than we can, as of yet, adequately tabulate. Those who had to live with chemicals known as TCE (trichloroethylene) and PCE (perchloroethylene), benzene and other toxins, as we Marines did, do not question whether cancer is caused by deadly particulate matter that is contacted through both air and water. We have seen and known personally, too many of the often deadly results. Semper fi brothers, you are not forgotten. So now President Carter convenes a panel that finally, once and for all, states that this is the case; environmental hazards cause cancer, and I have a feeling reaching this conclusion wasn't rocket science.
