Just Say No to GMO's! Shop Local and Grow Your Own!!

   

A beautiful small Farm 

          I am passionate about getting the right information out about GMOs and sustainable farming. There is a lot of misinformation out there because the big ag (Agricultural), companies spend billions to convince consumers they are safe. It's a very contentious issue. I'm a small scale farmer and have many small scale farming friends. There are several big reasons for us to decry GMOs.

Just a few:
1. Monsanto doesn't want to feed the world, they want to own and control the world's food supply.  

They are there for profit...create a need, and 

 fill it. This means wiping out all competition, controlling everything from seed to fertilizer. They went into India promising big yields and then the yields weren't there and they jacked up the price of the seed. They make it illegal to save seed. This is the essence of farming from the beginning of time. They create dependent farmers instead of self sufficient ones. Every 30 minutes an Indian farmer commits suicide as a result of Monsanto's GMO crops. In the last decade, more than 250,000 Indian farmers have killed themselves because of Monsanto's costly seeds and pesticides.



   2. Do you know what "Roundup Ready" means? Many people are now becoming "gluten intolerant," 

               not because of gluten but because of the glysophate.

Glyphosate May Be a Key Factor in the Development of Chronic Disease

Autism	Gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, colitis, and Crohn's disease	Obesity
Allergies	Cardiovascular disease	Depression
Cancer	Infertility	Alzheimer's disease
Parkinson's disease	Multiple sclerosis	ALS and more

They have manufactured a seed that won't die when doused with a chemical that kills everything... we can't get away from it... Millions of pounds are dumped every year and

                                                         it kills your gut bacteria. 

Many weeds are now resistant to roundup and more and more chemicals are needed. 


3. BT corn might not need as many pesticides (still sprayed with roundup) but that is because the pesticide is actually IN the corn. BT is considered an organic pesticide. It's basically a bacteria that gets into the guts of worms and causes them to explode. It washes off in the rain...but, when spliced into the dna it's there and 

       you consume a very large dose of this gut exploding bacteria. 

   

    Those are just the main three. I don't want them. Sustainable farmers don't use them. People who want to build up their soil won't go near them. 

         Countries are banning them. 

Politicians are in the big ag companies 

pockets... both Republican and 

Democrat. 


    It's is patently false that GMOs bring in more yields

...unless you have raped your soil to the point that you need incredible amounts of fertilizer.
I have a great friend who I get my hay from. He said he personally stays away from gmos because of the chemicals needed to grow them. One day a  vat of chemicals spilled and 

 he stepped in it and his boot melted, 
he said, "I will never grow GMOs..." 




   

I have Amish friends who gets greater yields with non gmos but you can't get those yields if you run a monoculture crop of 1,000's of acres of just one crop...corn or soybeans





          To say GMOs feed the world is false. 

   Most corn is grown for fuel or for animal feed. Most animals (pigs, cows, chickens) can be grown successfully and healthier on pasture. 
   The world should not be eating corn as a main substance anyway.... 

I could go on, but my point is that the GMO 

culture has transformed farming in 

America, polluting waterways, and 

depleted the soils to the point that 

most soils are dead and are living on 

mined life support. 



   

     Healthy soil is built through compost and manure and so are healthy plants.

     If your soil isn't healthy, bringing up nutrients naturally from the ground, we will be sick. And it's true. 

     We are sicker than we've ever been, need more supplements like vitamins and minerals, and eat 2x as much just to TRY to get the vitamins and nutrients of just 60 years ago. 

And small farmers can't afford 

to lobby Congress. We are too 

busy actually working to pay full time smoozers.... 

I leave you with an example:

 

  A Kushi Institute analysis of nutrient data from 1975 to 1997 found that average calcium levels in 12 fresh vegetables dropped 27 percent; iron levels 37 percent; vitamin A levels 21 percent, and vitamin C levels 30 percent. A similar study of British nutrient data from 1930 to 1980, published in the British Food Journal,found that in 20 vegetables the average calcium content had declined 19 percent; iron 22 percent; and potassium 14 percent. Yet another study concluded that one would have to eat eight oranges today to derive the same amount of Vitamin A as our grandparents would have gotten from one.

Domestic livestock overdose on cereal-based feed and have historically been fed everything from animal droppings to other animals 

2001 review study, published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, showing that nutrient levels, including vitamin C, are lower in crops grown with chemical fertilizers. Organic spinach, lettuce, cabbage and potatoes showed relatively high levels.

'Studies show that organic food has 15 per cent more dry matter than non-organic food,' she says, 'so for each kilo of organic fruit or veg you are getting 15 per cent more nutrition. Some of the high yield in conventional farmed crops is just water. By using a lot of NPK [nitrogen phosphorous potassium] fertilizers, the plant is forced to grow faster - and our measure of growth is just the weight at the end. 

There is no focus on what growth really means in plants and animals. 

With livestock, too, you are giving them unnaturally high-energy diets to force them to grow a lot faster.

      So we literally HAVE to eat more in order to have the proper nutrients we need...

America is awash in gmos and their health is suffering greatly as a result..." This is a quote I heard recently from someone in England. The GMO issue is highly contentious, mostly because farming has changed so drastically in the last half century and most modern farms are consolidations of many small farms. The mantra is "bigger, better, faster..." One of my favorite lines from Jurrasic Park goes something like "We got so caught up things we could do, we didn't stop to ask should we do it..." This is the case with gmos... Should we splice the dna of one organism into another,and more importantly, should we ingest them? How will the growing of them affect small farmers? How will it affect the environment? GMOs have literally reshaped the world, but not for the better. Good news, people are waking up!! Things are changing!!




Genesis 2:15  Then the LORD God took the man 

and put him in the                                      Garden of Eden

            to farm the land and to take care of it.

Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.

Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."

Proverbs 12:11

He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.
