We Need to Know What is in These Untested "Bio-Based" Products and their Impact on Environmental and Human Health - BEFORE releasing them into our environment and bodies...

(We didn't wake up before genetically modified food quietly flooded the global markets and, more recently, bioengineered animals in our food supply, and we are now paying a heavy environmental and human health price. This latest "under the radar" ploy is to be pushed, before the public wakes up to the lack of regulation and oversight for the trillion dollar biotech industry and what could be an irreversible nightmare in our leap into the unknown. We must think things through to their ultimate extreme before letting this juggernaut genie out of the bottle..pdjmoo)

A GAME CHANGER? Crowd-sourced Website Documents World's Entire Food System

A GAME CHANGER? Crowd-sourced Website Documents World's Entire Food System | YOUR FOOD, YOUR HEALTH: Latest on BiotechFood, GMOs, Pesticides, Chemicals, CAFOs, Industrial Food | Scoop.it

A new, crowd-sourced website plans to document every angle of the food system. Given its stated aim of documenting "the entire food system", and given that ANYONE can upload photos and tell the story of their food, it seems like there is an opportunity for activists to tell the stories of the industrial food system through this platform too.

Did a recent scientific study just change the way we should think about the safety of genetically modified foods? According to Ari Levaux at theAtlantic, the answer is a resounding yes.

 

The next wave of genetic engineering uses microRNA to control pests on industrial farms. But new research out of China shows it could have adverse health effects for human digestion.
