Are you aware that most of your food has been genetically modified?

77

By Wealthmadehealthy

For several, if not many years now......

We as humans have in part started to watch the intake of foods we eat, the manner in which we cook, and other methods to gain us better health.   

We have started to read the labels on the food which we purchase as realizing, you never know what is in a food which has been canned outside of your own kitchen....chemicals have been found present which are harmful for us to ingest.  

We for the most part, have started to live life in a healthier fashion.....but what is being hidden from us as we purchase fresh vegetables....and if they are fresh, they are also being sold in cans......

SOME of your foods which have been altered genetically...

The produce being grown for our......

consumption, as with many other things in our lives, has been being changed for quite some time now.

Maybe you have noticed a few things about your fresh bought vegetables. Do they have the clear concise taste ot the fruits and veggies as you remember them from all of your life?? This is a point to consider heavily.

The very food which is sold to us outside of homegrown vegetable stands, and from information I have researched, the food in those stands has been modified also, but most people who buy the seeds to grow it are not aware........the very food has been modified through growing processes and modified genetically.....

Genetically modified foods have been "created by man" for several reasons, but may also attribute to the food shortage which people have gone crazy over...and will soon figure out this is a real thing and here is the reason why. The modifications which have been made to our food souces have not only changed they way the food grows....1). made the plants more resistant to diseases, 2). produced seeds and plants which are resistent to freezes, 3). and to me the most important: Produced strains of plants which bear infertile seeds to prevent saving them for replanting the next year. 4). Additionally, it has been discovered that a gene has been implemented into our potatoes which is toxic to mammals....this gene was the snowdrop flower..    And this is only the beginning my dear readers......

Let us look at number three. If the seeds which are produced from plants will not grow in the next season......what does this mean?? When the seeds we have run out and the plants are not producing fertile seeds, Here is where the food shortage will actually come into place. No food growing, none to eat.

This to me, is a challenge in several respects. The first is evident. No seeds, no food....The second respect, which should definitely be the first is that man has once again tampered with the things which God put here for our good. He provided seed bearing plants to feed us. Man has overridden what the God of Moses firmly gave us to survive on.

A fourth and other major reason to not want gm foods is the fact that with the modifications present, the dna s of it all are killing the very insects which God put here to pollenate for reproduction of plants.......to further our food supply.

I do not know how many of you ever watched the movie The Bees starring Jerry Seinfeld. This was a classic movine about our food source, specifically honey. But it had a valid point. When the insects stop pollenating food or die in the process, there will be no more plants. Pollenation has to occur even to grow flowers. Never mind reproduce our food sources. Far more important in my mind than flowers-tho flowers have their advantage and certainly their healing properties if you know how to use them.....

My main reason for even going into this subject is that again, our government is trying to hide something from us. It is in the labeling of our foods without telling us of the genetic modifications to them And the key here is not telling us.

There is at this precise moment in time, if you are reading this hub between now and the 7th of May, 2010, a CODEX CONFERENCE.......going on which will determine how far the government will be allowed to go as to the labeling of our food. so if again the major corporations and the government .....are allowed to continue their mandate, we will not be aware of how our food has been tainted with chemicals to harm us as we consume food on a daily basis......they are trying to ban the labeling of our food to NOT INFORM US OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD FOR OUR CONSUMPTION!!!

This in my eyes, is yet another deception. Also, genetically modified foods have been shown in various studies to be harmful to our intestines, and other vital functions of our bodies.

I implore you today as you read this hub, to contemplate the small amount of information, and this is only a miniscule bit of knowledge on genetic modification of our food......to inform you of the urgency which we all must react. I have a link which goes to a page where you may voice your opinion against The non-labeling of our food and the genetic modification of our food sources..... Which I ask that you click on.

As in all things done if we do not use our voices, the major corporations, who are making sure that not only are our food costs rising, but are trying to assure that we do not know what we are eating....will win this battle along with the new government mandates against the labeling.

If you really care about the food you eat and the healthy of your body, the health of your children and the healthy of their children, please look at this link. Add your voice to the plea against non labeling of YOUR FOOD to try and stop yet another lunacy from happening. As you have seen in recent and I mean recent time, if you do not add your voice, terrible things will happen.....shall we look at healthcare reform....this is not what this hub is about, just a thing to look at. Click on the link....Add your voice to the free petition to help stop this nonsense from happening.

And lastly.....remember. God did not want man to change what He Himself had created. Man has blatently changed what God has given us for our health...This should be first, not last, but most of you turn away from teachings concerning God....will you turn away from your health....your source of food to eat.....sterile seeds??? No reproduction of our food source....and no knowledge of what you are eating???? I hope not.

Have a Blessed Day!!!

Thanks so much for this hub!

I am so aware of this and write a lot about it on my hub site - all the horrors of the American food supply. Imagine buying potatoes and onions that never sprout. Our industrialized food supply has sickened us. Amazing that the food companies have no responsibility for our health - their only concern is profit. Foods that are banned all over the world are sold in our supermarkets.

I'm glad you wrote this hub - we have to keep this information out there.

BK thanks for your comment. This is an issue we all need to stay on top of. And learning how to garden in whatever home situation you live in is the best way to get the best food. So many people are upset at the food costs now and this is a part of it all. If the food grown does not give productive seed back, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE OUR NEXT CROP WILL COME FROM????

Thanks for saying what needed to be said. I try to plant heirloom seeds in my garden to avoid the modifications not just from genetically modified seeds but from plants that have been engineered not to be nutritious or taste good but to travel well and stay fresh until you buy them.

Another danger of many of the fruits and vegetables grown today is that they tend to be of a single variety. These plants may be disease resistant to start but diseases have a tendency to mutate making easier for an entire crop to succumb to the disease. And as you stated, no food=hunger

Thank you reddog for your intuitiveness with this issue. When I tried to start seed potatoes this year from the potatoes I purchased at the store, they would not start to grow. In going to the feed store to purchase ...notice I state purchase seed potatoes, I was told that the potatoes sold at the stores HAVE been altered and no longer reproduce themselves. I purchased a quantity to assure myself that when these potatoes grow, I will have more for next year that will sprout.

This is another challenge noone is recognizing. Point in fact with potatoes alone....they will not reproduce to be replanted for the next year. The farmers who do plant seeds and start from last years crop are unable to because of the genetics having been changed. Yes, Heirloom seeds have not been altered. They are the best kind. I learned of this from another gentlemans' hub I read a few months ago.

Since this is the first year in many I am attempting to feed myself strictly on my own home grown food, the things I discovered recently should be viewed by all as another disaster and attempt to control us, now hereby with the foods we are eating. The farmers have to pay more to grow more, and with the way the weather patterns have been going and now the oil spill cutting people out of money, who has the money to buy the seeds???? LOL Another vicious circle if you ask me!!!

Have a blessed day!!!!

zduckman: Thanks so much for reading. This is a subject that people with all the other things going on in the country are just not looking at and they are wondering why all are so unhealthy and there is so much disease. I will take a read on your page...this is an issue which concerns us all Have a blessed day!!

It AMAZES me that people are not moreconcerned with what they are putting into their bodies. I agree we all want to simplify life, and save time where possible, but there are amny simple ways to purchase safer food. Thy body is thy temple. Garbage in garbage out, just like the law of computers. a lot of folks don't seem to see the connection between the rise in Autism, diabetes, and cancer....it is directly related to the chemicalization of our farms. King Corn is one of my favorite movies and points out how corn has made its way into every product in the grocery store. The rate of diabetes has increased in direct proportion to the amount of products containing corn sugar.

Thanks again.

zduckman: Thanks so much for your intelligent comment. If more people understood what you do, then we would all be healthier and would have fought harder against what "they" have done to our food. With the blasting of the levee in MO, we have lost many acres of precious farmland and now many farmers are out of a way to make a living on top of this. We need a change somewhere..somehow and I think you and I know how this will come about and it will not be through man made government. Thanks so much for stopping by again. Have a blessed Day!! :) :)

Yes, I am aware of this. I think you Americans need to demand your citizen rights. You have the right to choose, don't you? You have the right to know everything about the food you buy and eat. Refusing to label GMO foods as such is a pure violation of your right to know! Demand it!

Inspiration88: Great comment. Now if all the rest of America would take this to heart, we would be better off. Have a great day!
