The GMOs in the French study were approved for human consumption in the US after just a 90 day rat feeding study. Subsequently, they have gone into our American food supply and today more than 70% of the food we consume contains Genetically Modified Organisms. Over the same period of time we've become a very sick nation while countries who have avoided/banned or labeled GMOs have faired much better. France has been very sceptical of GMOs and has required labeling on any product consuming GMOs. Their recent study is one of the only long term feeding studies, unless of course you include the feeding study being conducted on the American public. Perhaps that's why the results look so much like the epidemics we are facing as a nation. More tumors. More damaged organs.
Right now in California Prop37 would require the labeling of foods that contain GMOs. Today if you want to avoid GMOs the only way is to only buy organic. With labeling we can regain the right to know what we're eating. More on the study and Prop37 here.
As always. Spread the news. We will only achieve a safer and fairer world together.

OMG! This is so disturbing.
Thanks for this post. This is vital, and we need to keep the discussion going.
The proposition is about food labeling. Monsanto and the food industry giants along with certain media outlets are fighting against letting people know what is in their food. And, I find it so ironic that they spend massive amounts of advertising for their product, but don't want the consumer to know that certain food stuffs contain their product.
Please people get involved, get informed.
This is such a basic right to know what is in our FOOD and what we are buying and what companies we are supporting thru that purchase. I don't want to support any company that diminishes my right to know what I'm eating and feeding to my family.
We cannot allow multinational companies to control our lives. Vote for transparency
