The Approval ofMore Toxic GMO Crops

Angers the Seed Industry

Recently, more toxic breeds of genetically-modified cropshave gained approval from the government.

These crops are not only resistant to glyphosate but also have immunity against toxins like 2,4-D, a component of Agent Orange—and Dicamba, which has been linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

2,4-D and other similar herbicides have also been linked to immune system cancers, Parkinson’s disease, endocrine disruption, and reproductive problems.

This sudden deregulation of GMO foods serves as a direct threat to the seed industry, and has angered many concerned consumers who prefer non-GMO heirloom seeds and vegetables.

Non-GMO seed companies and small family-owned farms are also completely baffled by the decision especially since they work so hard to provide safe produce to the public.

Waiting for the government to do something about genetically-modified crops could take forever, so the best thing to do in this situation is to start change at home.

By supporting your local farmers’ market and growing vegetables at home using non-GMO heirloom seeds, you’re not only protecting your health but also fighting against the dominance of GMO products in the food industry.

Buying local and growing a garden might seem like two ordinary acts, but they can really make a difference especially if more people join in.

This is why spreading awareness about the dangers of GMO consumption is important.

Consumers need to understand the health risks of eating genetically-modified crops and why it really matters to eat organic.

Help spread the word now by encouraging your family and friends to grow a sustainable garden today!
