The only food that humans should ever eat is organic, naturally grown food. It is the only food that will provide humans the needed nutrition. Why would anyone think that it is fine to put synthetic chemicals into a natural human body? Would anyone put diesel fuel in a gas engine? For almost 400,000 years humans only ate organic and it is in the last 70 years that we started to eat chemicals that are not easily soluble and can effectively stay in our bodies for as long as 50 years, like DDT.
Just take a brief moment to consider this: historically humans never had the rates of death and illnesses that we do today from the non-infectious diseases mentioned above (The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease). Prehistoric man could have lived into their 70's but usually died from infectious disease. What changed is our food system.
We recently learned that glyphosate is in our blood stream, breast milk and urine. There were an average of 15 different synthetic chemicals in our bodies in 1995 and today the global average number is 27, which are insoluble and stay within our bodies for years.
The scare tactics and myths of not producing enough food globally have been and still are LIES. The problem was never production - it has always been distribution. All agriculture for the past 10,000 years was organic and sufficient to feed the entire world. The only times that people went without nutrition was during crisis of climate change (ice ages, drought, floods, etc.) and they had no technology to deal with that. Over 99% of all research goes into developing artificially developed food. If we put 99% of our research dollars into organic microbiological food production we could significantly increase food for the world and all healthy. But then the synthetic chemical companies would be out of business.
Poor people cannot afford to buy good food, which is the biggest reason for inadequate nutrition. The more money one has, the more and better the quality of food can be bought. Carbohydrates like rice and potatoes are cheaper calories by volume than are a variety of vegetables. Secondly, thanks to the BIG 6 of Monsanto, Bayer, DOW, Sygenta, DuPont and BASF and a few others, who control 95% of food global production; their goal is profits, not nutrition. These guys simply took their stockpiled materials from WW2 and converted them into agricultural products. They made bombs and gases that killed almost 80,000,000 people and have killed far more since 1945, just slower.
The recent development of GMO seeds is the continuance of a technology meant to make profit. The changing of the DNA to make seeds resistant to glyphosate is adding more death and disease to the human population everywhere. Studies have shown that glyphosate does not kill weeds directly, it starves them by blocking pathways of nutrition. The same glyphosate in our bodies starve our bacterial pathways for food, hence killing our immune system and then us. The epidemic of autism in children has been demonstrated in several studies released last year by Dr. Stephanie Senneff. The campesinos who live on the Colombia-Ecuador border have begged the Colombian government to stop spraying glyphosate to prevent marijuana growth because almost all of the people have cancerous sores on their bodies. Every time you eat bread made with Canadian flour, French fries from Idaho potatoes, most cereals from Midwest corn, products with corn syrup (almost anything packaged), you are eating glyphosate because they are all GMO foods, which are always packaged with glyphosate from the field.
The first step is to totally kill all life in the soil with glyphosate to prevent weeds and then the GMO seed is planted. If you drive through the Midwest US and look at the corn or soy fields you will never see any weeds in the soil, just the plants in hundreds of acres. This is glyphosate at work. Since there are no natural predators for the insects that live from corn, that insect population grows rapidly and to very large numbers. The farmer has to buy insecticides and then fungicides. Once the farmer starts with these drug regimens, they are hooked and have to buy more and more.
Organic agriculture is the only technology that will give us healthy food that can enable us to live a happier and longer life. It will also dramatically reduce 55% of all carbon in the atmosphere, double the amount of fresh water available, reduce cancers and other non-infectious disease by as much as 75% and provide healthy soils for future generations. It is not just Monsanto that is the cause of our health, food, environment, and water problems but all of the other synthetic chemical companies plus John Deere tractors, the big food processors, the huge grocery chains, the big fast food companies - the entire agricultural and food industry that is totally preoccupied with money, executive bonus and profits. Recently, Warren Buffet stated quite unequivocally that fast food is a great investment. He and his partners take pride in making money while billions of people are slowly dying, global warming is reaching dangerous levels, we are losing our fresh water everywhere and the soils are being ruined for generations to come. The banks are also very heavily involved everywhere in the globe because the cost of the synthetic chemicals and fertilizers go up with the price of petroleum and never go down. Conventional agriculture is very heavily dependent on farmers taking loans to buy the chemicals and tractor machinery and many lose their farms.
