State Representative Carol Alvarado from Houston has filed HB 3499, This session’s GMO labeling bill if we can help her get it passed it will require labeling all foods sold in Texas that contain GMO’s genetically modified organisms.
Studies have concluded that a correlation of health problems have been linked to GMO foods along with serious health ailments such as gut disorders, allergies, immune system and organ toxication. An ever-growing list of vegetables and fruits are being altered to produce or contain their own pesticides and herbicides. These GMO crops also pollinate other nearby organic crops with their altered DNA, the genetically spliced seeds are also not allowed to be reused the next planting season unless they are repurchased from the manufacturer which in most cases is Monsanto. The same chemical company that created Agent Orange, DDT, Aspartame, Saccharin, Dioxin, Round-up, and Bovine growth hormone (RBGH) to name a few.
Judith McGeary, Executive Director of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance states that
“GMO labeling is vital to providing accurate information for consumers to make a choice as to whether or not they want to consume these foods. A consumer purchasing salmon expects to bring home salmon, not genetically engineered salmon spliced with an eel-like species.”
Representative Alvarado said “We need to be more transparent about the food we sell to consumers, it is time for Texas to put Texans first and provide them with the information they need so they can make informed decisions about the food they consume.”
Eric Hem, fourth generation West Texas Farmer says,
“As an organic and non-GMO cotton farmer, I support GMO labeling. I am very proud of the certified USDA organic label my fiber and food crops receive, so why can’t GMO farmers and food companies be proud of their respective food crops? People can make their own choice whether they will purchase food or fiber products with genetically modified ingredients.”
64 other countries have labeling laws or have banned Monsanto’s GMO crops altogether, here in the United States several states, including Maine, Vermont, and Connecticut have already passed this legislation as well. With the different polls and survey’s showing in the ranges of 65% and higher of the American people are overwhelmingly in favor of their food being labeled. It doesn’t stop there, Democrats and Republicans alike are in favor of GMO labeling as well. So let’s help Rep, Alvarado and fight for the right to know what’s in our food.

Citing Mike Adams is a pretty surefire way to ensure that critically minded people won’t take you seriously.

While other nations outlaw GMO foods America’s criminal government makes it where they don’t even have to label them. As long as politicians get their palms greased by these companies don’t expect any common sense laws being passed by the federal government. It gets worse. Sodium Fluoride is an insecticide. It has been put in our water, our tooth paste, even Coke Cola. And worse with the pharmaceutical industry. Effexor XR, Zoloft, Paxil, Cymbalta, Strattera, Adderall, Haldol, Lexapro, Clozaril, Ridalin and over 160 more psychotropic drugs are on the market. 100 million world wide are taking psychotropic drugs. These drugs kill 3,000 Americans a month. They make the pharmaceutical industry $330 billion a year in profit plus another
$73 billion from insurance companies.
Over half the suicide in the U.S. are committed by people on these drugs. How can they claim these drugs cure a chemical imbalance when the pharmaceutical industry,the psychiatrasts, and the FDA don’t even know what a chemical imbalance is? To get more of these poisons on the market they just invent another type of chemical imbalance to add to their ever growing book of disorders.
All who set on an FDA panel have financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. With every drug being approved by the FDA there was a Congressanal investigation on the FDA. That brought the passage of the “Prescription Drug User Fee Act” in 1992. It stated the phrmasutical indudtray would pay a fee of $100,000 a drug towards the expressed approval of the drug. The FDA’s new job wasn’t to test the drugs but to get it to market as quick as possable. Then there is the $1,000,000 FDA fee for each drug application submitted. What took 2 years of testing only took 6 months and they were approving twice the amount of these poisons.
These drugs in America kill three and a half times more people a year than murder. There are 170 plus of these drugs. Every one of them makes an average of $7,700,000 a day profit off innocent humans around the world. All of these mass shootings the shooter 95% of the time was taking at least one if not more of these FDA approved poisons. I will bet these drugs were taken by the ones doing the mass stabing in China and in crowed areas of innocents in other parts of the globe All the “Prescription Drug User Fee Act” did was allow the faster administrating of the poisons, made profit sooner, and made sure congress got their cut. Our government is murdering us for profit.
