Are corn flakes REALLY the very best for you each morning?
Anyone eat cornflakes for breakfast everyday?
The rest of this post might be hard for you to digest!
Currently on the books in california is something called prop37, which relates to food labeling. More specifically, if passed it would require all foods with genetic modifications to be labeled as such.
Currently, even some 'organic' brands there contain GMOs (generally brands owned by multinational corporations). These large brands are fighting tooth and nail to prevent this bill from passing, and have already spent over $23,000,000 in doing so.
Why are they so deathly afraid of this legislation?
Because overconsumption of GMO foods makes us ill. Consumption of certain GMOs over a few generations causes, initially, reduced birth size, increased incidence of miscarriage, increased incidence of perforated ulcers and other gastrointestinal problems. After a few generations, literally 3-4, mammals lose the ability to reproduce. Let me be clear on this. In repeated, double blind, randomised controlled trials, small mammals fed exclusively on a diet of GMO corn lost the ability to reproduce within 4 generations.
Kelloggs corn flakes are, by kelloggs own admission, 91-93% GMO corn.
Monsanto controls 60%-70% of the worlds corn. This corn contains the Bt dioxin which is a toxin designed to rupture the stomach of creatures which eat the corn. Monsanto also manufactures the herbicide Roundup, which their corn is modified to withstand. Guess what? weeds have developed resistance to it, which results in more of it being sprayed.
How safe is roundup?
United States EPA has caught scientists deliberately falsifying test results at research laboratories hired by Monsanto to study the safety of glyphosate, the main ingredient of roundup. There were 20 felonies, and "routine falsification of data".
No wonder they don't want to have foods containing GMO labeled, no one in their right minds would knowingly buy it on a regular basis!
