Tell the FTC: GMOs are not “Natural” or “Green”

I receive a newsletter from "The Institute for Responsible Technology",  found at http://www.responsibletechnology.org. This is the place where I can get the truth on the foods we put in our bodies. Today I received an e-mail from them asking me to sign a petition. I did so, and I hope you will too. Please read the article they sent to me below, and then go to their web site to sign the petition. It's extremely important. I don't know how we're going to get these poisons out of our lives, but if they have to be there, I want to know about it. Here is the e-mail I received:

Tell the FTC: GMOs are not “Natural” or “Green”

Sign the petition today.

Join us in telling the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that it is misleading for companies to classify genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as “Natural” or “Green.” We have untilDecember 10th to let the FTC know, as they are revising their Green Guides.

Genetic engineering doesn’t happen in nature. Scientists force genes from bacteria and viruses into plant DNA, which result in dangerous side effects. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine urges all doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets to everyone.

GMOs are not “Green.” GMOs use far more herbicides, damage soil and marine ecology, harm beneficial insects, and cross pollinate. Their self-propagating genetic pollution will outlast the effects of climate change and nuclear waste! 

Tell Quaker, Kellogg’s and others:
“Stop misleading us”

Quaker’s “Natural” Granola contains corn flakes and soy lecithin. Kellogg’s Kashi brand “All Natural” Frozen Chicken Florentine uses soy flour and canola oil. Surprise! These are derived from GM plants.

The FTC should insist that these and other companies either remove their “Natural” claim, or better yet remove their GMOs altogether. Furthermore, no company should proclaim GMOs as “Green.”
