GMO is Poison for our Soil and Water

The Next Largest Manmade Disaster

"desert" also had the connotation of "unfit for farming".

the area's relative lack of water and wood made it seem unfit for farming and uninhabitable by an agriculturally-based people.

Zebulon Pike wrote "these vast plains of the western hemisphere, may become in time equally celebrated as the sandy deserts of Africa".

In 1823, Edwin James wrote of the region:

I do not hesitate in giving the opinion, that it is almost wholly unfit for cultivation, and of course, uninhabitable by a people depending upon agriculture for their subsistence.

"Innumerable Herds of Buffaloes", which was written on Pike's map just above "not a stick of timber". The giant herds and teeming wildlife of the Great Plains were well known by the time the term Great American Desert came into common use, undermining the idea of a wasteland

The Dust Bowl Worst Manmade Disaster

severe drought Poor farming practicesNo crop rotationMono-cropsPoor Soil CareRapid mechanization of farm implementsthan 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year) to cultivated cropland

Caused "black blizzards" or "black rollers" – reached such East Coast cities as New York City and Washington, D.C. and often reduced visibility to a meter (about a yard) or less.

The drought and erosion of the Dust Bowl affected 100,000,000 acres (400,000 km2) that centered on the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma and touched adjacent sections of New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas.

•14 percent of all Ogallala irrigation wells tested contained one pesticide or more.• Most common was Atrazine, herbicide, used cornfields•known hormone disruptor • retarding fetal development. •5 percent wells contained nitrate levels excess of EPA safety standards •Excess nitrate levels in drinking water can impair the blood’s ability to deliver oxygen in infants, causing “blue baby syndrome.”

•The aquifer is being wasted and polluted. •thirsty crop that requires over 20 inches of irrigation water • polluted with pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers.

Replenished by half an inch a year. We pump out over 30 times that amount.

•yields about 30 percent of the nation's ground water used for irrigation.

•provides drinking water to 82 percent of the people who live within the aquifer boundary

The transition from biologically based to intensive, chemical based agricultural production systems advanced in North America and Europe soon after World War II

Chemical pesticides became widely available

•large-scale production enterprises •utilize high-yielding crop varieties •Monoculture•short-term rotations •Available with high inputs of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

“Green Revolution” of the 1960s and 1970s

Little emphasis is given to managing soil organic matter through use of traditional …or organic soil amendments that are central to maintaining the biological activity and inherent fertility of soils in biologically based cropping systems.

By abandoning the biological management component, many conventionally managed fields have experienced severe disease, insect, and weed infestations (Drinkwater et al., 1995)

serious declines in soil organic matter, nitrogen, and carbon contents (Khan et al.,2007)

and alterations in the balance of beneficial and detrimental biological activities due to drastic changes in soil and rhizosphere microbial communities (Dunfield and Germida, 2004)

First Study to Confirm Glyphosate Levels in Breast Milk of American Moms

Moms Across America and Sustainable Pulse found high levels in 30 percent of the samples tested. This strongly suggests that glyphosate levels build up in your body over time, despite claims to the contrary.

“Historians may look back and write about how willing we are to sacrifice our children and jeopardize future generations with a massive experiment that is based on false promises and flawed science just to benefit the bottom line of a commercial enterprise.”  late 2012. Don Huber, award-winning, international scientist and professor emeritus of plant pathology at Purdue University.

Glyphosate has also been found in Americans' urine and drinking water.

found to be more than 10 times higher than those tested in the EU in 2013. This is presumably due to the fact that the EU is now backing away from glyphosate usage and GE crops, whereas the US ignorantly races full speed ahead.

Food Integrity about the dangers of GMOs and Glyphosate (Roundup).  

 Glyphosate, which is the most widely used herbicide in the world, •many times more toxic than DDT•a mineral chelator•Herbicide•patented antibiotic•affects our human body as well as the environment and the inherent dangers associated with this chronic toxin.

 “We’ve pretty much sacrificed an entire generation of

children. The longer we go, the more damage that is going

to accumulate.” Dr Huberfoodintegritynow.org

Glyphosate

Various animal studies have identified health risks associated with GM food consumption, including: Infertility Immune system compromise Accelerated aging

Altered genes associated with: cholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation, cell signaling, protein formation

Alterations in: liver, kidney, spleen and gut function

The approved GMs in the U.S. include:

Herbicide resistance Corn, soy, cotton, canola, rice, alfalfa, beet, flax

Insect resistance (Pesticide prod) Corn, cotton, potato, tomato

Sterile pollen (Terminator Tech) Corn, chicory

Virus resistance Papaya, squash, plum

Delayed ripening Tomato

Altered oil Canola, soy

Protein composition Corn

Reduced nicotine tobacco

Banana vaccinesPeople may soon be getting vaccinated for diseases like hepatitis B and cholera by simply taking a bite of banana. Researchers have successfully engineered:bananas, potatoes, lettuce, carrots tobacco to produce vaccinesWhen people eat a bite of a genetically engineered banana, which is full of virus proteins, their immune systems build up antibodies to fight the disease — just like a traditional vaccine

WATER•It takes more than 2,400 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat

• while growing 1 pound of wheat only requires 25 gallons

• You save more water by not eating a pound of meat than you do by not showering for six months!

•A totally vegan diet requires only 300 gallons of water per day, • a typical meat-eating diet requires more than 4,000 gallons of water per day.

LAND•raising animals for food now uses 30 percent of the Earth's land mass

• More than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been cleared to create cropland to grow grain to feed farmed animals

•leads to soil erosion and eventual desertification that renders once-fertile land barren.

ANIMALS for FOOD

MEAT INDUSTRY IS SUBSIDIZED

With out government help:

Hamburger = $90 per lb

Takes 13 lbs of grain to produce 1 lb meat

WASTE & EXCREMENT•The EPA reports that chicken, hog, and cattle excrement has polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and contaminated groundwater in 17 states.

•scientists have discovered that male fish are growing ovaries, and they suspect that this deformity is the result of factory farm runoff from drug-laden chicken feces

•massive amounts of feces, fish carcasses, and antibiotic-laced fish food ,contribute to water pollution

FOOD•more than 70 percent of the grain and cereals that we grow in this country are fed to farmed animals

•It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of meat

• fish on fish farms must be fed up to 5 pounds of wild-caught fish to produce 1 pound of farmed fish flesh.

ANIMALS for FOOD

Concentrated (or Confined) Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)

•Animals in factory farms are confined indoors, with minimal room •no access to sunlight and fresh air.• Animals are mutilated to adapt them to factory farm conditions. •cutting off the beaks of chickens and turkeys (de-beaking)• amputating the tails of cows and pigs (docking).

•70 percent of all antibiotics used in the United States are regularly added to the feed of livestock and poultry that are not sick•Bacteria that are constantly exposed to antibiotics develop antibiotic resistance•animals are fed hormones and antibiotics to promote faster growth.

How Do Genes Work “Maybe”

They make proteins. In fact, each gene is really just a recipe for a making a certain protein.more of the estimated 100,000 different proteins that your body makes.

But the genes in your DNA don't make protein directly.

DNA is used to make RNA, then RNA is used to make proteins

 DNA sequences were surprised to find that less than 2% of human DNA codes for proteins. If 98% of our genetic information (or "genome") isn't coding for protein,

"junk DNA.“ But as more research is done, we are beginning to learn more about the DNA between the genes-intergenic DNA.Intergenic DNA seems to play a key role in regulation, that is, controlling which genes are turned "on" or "off" at any given time.

So you take a bacteria,plant,animal

Get a protein

Use a virus or just shoot it into the DNA

snipping genes from microbes, plants, and even animals splicing them into the plants

to create new traits: herbicide or insect resistance, drug transmition

GMO is also:recombinant DNA (rDNA)Transgenicbioengineering

humans have approximately 24,000 genes fruit flies have approximately 14,000 genes

Scientists refer to the total number of protein interactions in the body as the "human interactome", likening it to the human genome, which is most commonly associated with giving us our human traits.

"Understanding the human genome definitely does not go far enough to explain what makes us different from more simple creatures. Our study indicates that protein interactions could hold one of the keys to unraveling how one organism is differentiated from another.“

Genes and Protein Production 2008 Imperial College London

…protein interactions in their bodies, according to scientists who have developed a new way of estimating the total number of interactions between proteins in any organism

Epigenetics genes can be turned on (expressed) or turned off (silenced)

…FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs can cause persistent epigenetic changes. …pharmaceuticals may be involved in the etiology of heart disease, cancer, nerve and mental disorders, obesity, diabetes, leukemia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, infertility, and sexual dysfunction.

…"consequences for modern medicine are profound, since it would imply that our current understanding of pharmacology is an oversimplification."

Human studies show GMO can leave material behind, possibly causing long-

DNA of bacteria living inside us, and that the toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found

UN SAYS EAT LESS MEAT TO CURB GLOBAL WARMINGPeople should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world's leading authority on global warming

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are generated during the production of animal feeds, for example, while ruminants, particularly cows, emit methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than carbon dioxide. The agency has also warned that meat consumption is set to double by the middle of the century.
