I think this is fascinating. This report describes a change in the GMO trend. We have here millions of individual choices not in favor of Mansanto, but toward the life-affirming. Equally important we should note: all of this was accomplished even as Mansanto and other corporations poured multiple 10s of millions of dollars into controlling election outcomes and regulatory oversight.

01 Agriculture, 02 Infectious Disease, 03 Economy, 06 Family, 07 Health, 07 Other Atrocities, 11 Society, Civil Society, Commerce, Corruption, Earth Intelligence, GovernmentI have been thinking about this story all day. If one out of two babies born in the U.S. will be autistic by 2025, if the present trend continues, what kind of world can that be? In 2013 the number of live births in the U.S. was 3,952,840. as described this would mean 1,976,420 autistic children. Within a generation the care of these millions would consume the nation. This is completely insane. Say the estimate is 50% off. It would still be 19,764,200 in 20 years. All of this damage in the service of profit.

Monsanto’s Herbicide Linked To Groundwater Contamination
In a groundbreaking study published in the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry last year, evidence surfaced that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the Monsanto’s patented herbicide Roundup, is flowing freely into the groundwater in areas where it is being applied.1 The researchers found that 41% of the 140 groundwater samples taken from Catalonia Spain, had levels beyond the limit of quantification – indicating that, despite the manufacturer’s claims, glyphosate herbicide does not break down rapidly in the environment, and is accumulating there in concerning quantities.

Here is the latest.
Study Shows Dramatic Correlation Between GMOs And 22 Diseases
As crops that use the herbicide glyphosate rise, so do a wide range of diseases.

The deep corruption of government is putting the health of the American people at serious risk.
The research highlighted below, “Genetically engineered crops, glyphosate and the deterioration of health in the United States of America,” was published in The Journal of Organic Systems this September and links GMOs to 22 diseases with very high correlation.
