Boycott Monsanto GMO Food Companies

Vatic Note:  There is no doubt that we are at war.  A different kind of war, but war nontheless, and our weapons are our pocketbooks.  There are wars we must fight in, such as this one, AND WARS WE MUST REFUSE TO FIGHT IN, like the up coming WW III being conspiratorially created, funded and run by the profit oriented fascist military complex companies owned in part by the bankers who also make millions off the sale of weapons TO BOTH SIDES, that will kill, maim or wound your child or spouse. 

Add to that, the bankers also make outrageous profits off lending the cost of the war TO BOTH SIDES, whose people then must pay back that loan plus interest that your children will be paying back for decades in the way of taxes.   The only people who get hurt in these wars is our children,  not those of the elite whose chickenhawk children learn the art of cowardess from their parents and the lack of value for human life from those same addictive personalities that run these banks and corporations.

But this war below, we can actually win without blood and death, except for those who continue to buy GMO products.  The weapons he gives us in this article are excellent.  I would strongly recommend printing out the text of these links and study them and keep them handy as reference material.  

This is excellent preparation mentally and commitment wise for the 'REAL WAR' that we will be fighting eventually and that is ridding this nation, like Iceland did of all these fascist bankers and CEO's along with their paid minions, our congress with rare exceptions, who have no compunction in betraying their nation for financial gain. 

Add to that the private contractors that serve these pigs, like Evergreen Airways dumping poisons on our people.  Burn those GMO fields in Oregon, like France did and those planes of Evergreen if they don't stop dumping killer poisons on us, which we can now prove in a court of law and which results in our having to defend our lives, that is the REAL WAR GOING ON.  lol   Then, we can rebuild like Iceland did.  WE HAVE TO TAKE THE "REAL" WAR VERY VERY SERIOUSLY.   Find the entrances to their underground facilities and that will end all of this.

(NaturalNews) If Americans are truly serious about making real progress in the fight against genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), then we are going to have to take things to the next level by voting with our wallets, and boycotting every single factory food company that continues to secretly use GMOs in its products.

And one way to help jump start this efforts is to get the health-conscious community up to speed about which major food companies are still using GMOs in secrecy.

The blog REALfarmacy.com recently created a "Do Not Buy" list that outlines all the major food producers that use GMOs in their products. Besides the more obvious offenders such as Coca-Cola, General Mills, Pepsi, and Frito-Lay, the list also pins "health"-branded food companies like Nature Valley and Morningstar that many people are still unaware also use GMOs in their products. You can view this list here:

As you will notice, virtually every major food brand in America uses GMOs in its products. This is hardly surprising, as the most recent figures show that 88 percent of all corn, 90 percent of all canola (rapeseed), 93 percent of all soybeans, and nearly 100 percent of all sugar beets grown in the U.S. contain transgenic traits patented and owned by Monsanto, Bayer CropScience, and a handful of other biotechnology companies. In fact, any food product that is not certified organic or that is not specifically designated as being non-GMO likely contains GM ingredients.

Purchase only local, non-GMO, organic foods; avoid eating out at restaurants that serve conventional food

Though admittedly difficult due to the sheer volume of contamination caused by GMOs, boycotting all products that contain them will be vital for eventually ridding the food supply of these toxic poisons. Major progress has already been made in the form of voluntary GMO labeling by food chain Chipotle, for instance, as well as mandatory GMO labeling in all Whole Foods Market stores by 2018 (or potentially even 2015, pending the passage of GMO labeling legislation at the individual state level). Even big-box retailer Target has jumped onboard, having announced that it will unveil a new non-GMO store brand known as "Simply Balanced."

But we must do more. The brands we frequent as health-conscious individuals must be willing to take a stand now to eliminate GMOs from their product lines, or else they are not worth purchasing. Companies like Amy's Kitchen, Annie's, Applegate Farms, Beanitos, Bragg, Earthbound Farm, Eden Foods Organics, Kettle, Lundberg Family Farms, Nature's Path, Organic Valley, and Pacific Foods are among those leading the way in providing clean, non-GMO foods. But what about all the other major brands that are still floundering in their commitment to clean food?

The Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) has also created a Non-GMO Shopping Guide designed to help you avoid common ingredients like soy, canola, cottonseed, corn, sugar from sugar beets, and now wheat - unapproved GM wheat was recently found growing in a commercial field in Oregon - that are likely of GM origin. You can access this guide here:

As far as dining out is concerned, it is always best to ask questions and essentially let restaurant owners and managers know that you are concerned about the quality and integrity of their offerings. Ask them what types of oils they cook with, for instance, and inquire about which foods are prepared fresh and which ones are canned or bagged.
