Circle of 13: Activist sees GMO-free world in two years

" ... Jeffrey M. Smith is a leading spokesperson on the health dangers of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). An international bestselling author, his research and magnetic communication style captured public attention in 2003 with his first book, Seeds of Deception, which detailed the serious and questionable side effects of genetically engineered foods. In his second book, Genetic Roulette, Jeffrey exposes insider documents regarding GMO safety trials that have blown open the case against biotechnology. Jeffrey has consulted with world leaders from every conti- nent, helped to influence the first state laws regulating GMOs, and has unified leaders to support The Campaign for Healthier Eating in America, an industry and consumer movement to remove GMOs from the natural foods market- place.

PN:Where do you see it heading in the future?
JS:I believe we will end genetic engineering of the food supply in two years. The whole basis which allows GMOs to survive is the general ignorance of the people. I believe that eliminating GMOs from the food supply is actually one of the easiest campaigns, it is simply a matter of expressing factual data about the health risks of GMO's to consumers and giving them alternative choices. I think the next step will then be to address GMO biofuels and other non-food crops.

PN:What is the one thing the public should know about GMOs?
JS: When the FDA scientists first reviewed GMOs in the early 90s, the overwhelming consensus was that these foods could create allergies, diseases, new toxins, and nutrition problems. The scientists urged their superiors to require long term studies. The person in charge of policy at the time was Monsanto's former attorney and later become Monsanto's Vice President. As a result, the FDA's policy falsely claimed that the agency was not aware of any information showing GMO's were significantly different and on that basis required absolutely no safety studies whatsoever. It is nowup to individuals to protect themselves because the [US] government is not going to do it for us. ... "

Did you know that bees gather nectar from plants that are genetically modified, they loose their sense of orientation, can’t get back to their apiary and die... If however, they can avoid the GMOs, but come back to the apiary with contaminated pollen (by other contaminants), the “guards” kill them at the entry of the apiary ….; 10:07 AM

There's always Plan B. In a Pre-(R)Evolutionary world, green cards will be issued to those who take over bee duties. Worker bees so to speak. In Post (R) Evolutionary society, former apparatchniks will have to atone for their sins through such work.; 10:55 AM
