It just so happens that CLARKS sells Genetically Modified Crops short form is GM Crops. GM Crops are genetically modified organisms. These crops are the result of a laboratory process of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another species, splicing and mixing DNA. It is done so the plant can produce it’s own insecticide or be able to live in conditions such as tolerating large amounts of herbicides such as RoundUp which is exactly the type of GM crop CLARK’s sells. Monsanto is the corporation that first genetically engineered corn in the 1990′s so that it could be resistant to the company’s herbicide “RoundUp”. That means one can spray as much RoundUp around their crop and it will have no effect on it because the GMO corn has the DNA of glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp, combined in with the DNA with the GMO corn, and that is why they are r ...

Toda la civilización humana dejan a un lado las diferencias para unirse contra la gigante agrotóxica Monsanto que monopoliza el mercado alimentario privatizando las semillas y vendiendo sus poderosos herbicidas que afectan la cadena de biodiversidad, desde los insectos polinizadores hasta toda planta que no sea de propiedad de Monsanto. La ausencia de etiquetado que informe sobre los alimentos genéticamente modificados, también es un problema que deriva del fuerte lobby que ha logrado la megacorporación en los congresos del mundo, en donde los parlamentarios de varias latitudes votan a favor de ceder los derechos de propiedad de las semillas pertenecientes a una nación y de solapar lo que se compra y consume en la más completa ignorancia. Por otro lado que el campesino hoy se vea ligado a una transnacional semillera, le quita la autonomía y le expone a ser demandado por un verdadero gigante como ya sucedió en Indiana, Estados Unidos, en donde la Corte Suprema le dio la razón a Monsanto y declaró que un granjero es culpable de robo de semillas y debe pagarle a la multinacional 84.000 dólares. Todo esto, además de la promesa incumplida sobre la batalla contra el hambre que librarían los transgénicos, mantiene en pie de lucha a los seres humanos que sienten usurpado su derecho ancestral a cultivar la tierra, es por eso que este 25 de mayo en distintas partes marcharán contra Monsanto.

GMO Labeling Bill Shot Down In Senate Just Days Before March Against Monsanto

Fri, 24 May 2013 21:59:42 GMT

Just days before the massive worldwide event know as March Against Monsanto, the Senate has once again sided with Monsanto by overwhelmingly voting against a bill that would have allowed individual states to choose whether or not to label GMO foods. With a vote count of 71 to 27, the Senate denied the right of the people to know what is in the food they eat. The Senate also took a direct shot at the 10th Amendment in denying individual states the right to make their own decision in regards to GMO labeling. Shortly before the vote, sponsor Senator Bernie Sanders said that, “the concept we’re talking about today is a fairly commonsense and non-radical idea. “All over the world, in the European Union, in many other countries around the world, dozens and dozens of countries, people are able to look at the food that they are buying and determine through labeling whether or not that product contains genetically modified organisms.” Sanders also noted that in the past he has helped pass laws in his home state of Vermont that would require GMO labeling but hasn’t seen those laws actually be enacted over fears that Monsanto would sue the state. This bill would allow states to do what they want without fear that the company that brought us agent orange could end up having more power than an entire state government. Opponents of the bill were also vocal, with one Senator claiming that there was no evidence that there is any difference betwe ...
