Then why do people create genetically modified foods?
They make it for profit and profit only. If companies could (and sometime do) they would sell you cardboard all ground up with sugar on it make from tree pulp. In fact, it has been commonplace for years to add sawdust to many breads to make the bread cheaper to make. This is a given. And in many pizzas, plastic is added to cheese to make it cheaper to make also. Is sawdust or plastic good for people? No. Are most food additives good for people? No.
So, why do companies make genetically modified food? The best answer is because they can make a profit on it. Is it healthy? Usually not. But, if a large company wants you to buy something they just make it sound like it is good for you and most uneducated people might buy it.
For example, Monsanto genetically modified corn which is registered as an insecticide but not as a food. But, since it looks like corn it is fed to farm animals and unsuspecting people here in the U.S.
Is it allowed in Europe? Oh No! Because they know better because their standards are much higher. So, if you go to the regular supermarkets what kind of corn to they sell? If they can get away without telling you you are buying the Monsanto insecticide instead of real corn. This is the way it really is in the United States. And this isn't the only genetically modified food out there either. There is genetically modified rice and soybeans and tomatoes. And often you aren't told you are buying a plant like a tomato with some human genes or even a ham with some human genes added either along the way. Today I learned about Genetically modified Salmon which grows twice as fast as regular salmon. Are any of these plants or animals or fish safe to eat? We don't really know the answer to that because any problems might be years away. It is sort of like doctors giving people antidepressants because they get kick backs often if they do. Do they actually work? Sometimes if the patients don't kill themselves going onto or off them. But, when they work what are they doing besides causing human brains to rewire themselves not to feel anything in a normal way ever again. Are all these genetically modified foods good for people? I would say: No. Are antidepressants good for people. Again I would say: No.
As I was composing this I FOUND AN article saying that Genetically modified foods are related to long term sterility. Also, my neighbors daughter almost died of Eosinophil which is a condition of low white cell count to genetically modified food. The daughter almost died like most do before they can be saved from Genetically modified foods. She could only eat rice for one year in order to survive this. She is about 18 now and okay but the only way she survived was that her mother was an oncology nurse used to diagnosing problems like this. OTHERWISE SHE WOULD HAVE DIED LIKE MOST PEOPLE FROM THIS PROBLEM.
It is also possible that one of my son's best friends who had to have his lower intestines disconnected for a while also suffered from this problem as well. HE CAN'T WORK EVER AGAIN but luckily his wife has a good career so they can survive okay. However, these types of problems are suppressed by lawyers for genetically modified food corporations. Because if all the people having allergic reactions to genetically modified foods die before they can be properly diagnosed so much the better for genetically modified food makers because there is no trail to follow if this isn't widely known by the public.
But, if I go to a regular supermarket do I have a choice not to eat genetically modified foods in the U.S. ?
Again the answer is "No!" in regard to plants genetically modified. The only places you actually might have a choice is "Whole Foods" and some other health food organic stores who actually tell you. Otherwise you have no choice at all in regard to plants you eat that might be registered as insecticides or whatever.
You might think I'm joking but unfortunately if you do your research you will find out I'm right.

FDA Quietly Pushes Through Genetically Modified Salmon Over Christmas Break

While you were likely resting or enjoying time with friends and family over the Christmas break, the United States Food and Drug Administration was hard at work ramming through genetically modified salmon towards the final acceptance process. Despite the frankenfish actually being blocked by Congress last year over serious health and environmental concerns, the FDA is making a massive push to release the genetically modified salmon into the world as the FDA-backed biotech giant and creator of the fish AquaAdvantage screams for profits.Photo by K.b.cheng, via Wikimedia Commons
These fish of course threaten the very genetic integrity of the food chain when considering the fact that they will ultimately be unleashed into waters with other salmon and likely even the ocean at large. The AquaAdvantage genetically modified salmon have been engineered through genetic manipulation to grow double the size and weight of the average salmon. Hitting 24 inches instead of 13 and weighing in at 6.6 pounds instead of 2.8, the GM fish contains both a gene from another salmon known as the Pacific Chinook as well as an eel-like fish.
This unnatural genetic infusion allows the fish to generate a growth hormone 24/7, making it a massively mutated ball of growth hormones and disease.
Genetically Modified Salmon Threaten Genetic Stability of Food Chain
In the event that awareness is not spread and Congress allows the FDA to approve AquaAdvantage’ GM salmon, it will become the first approved GM animal for growth and human consumption.
Modified salmon will mate with regular breeds, creating hybrid mutations that may likely never be tracked. Hybrid families that may continue to repopulate for generations, all containing modified genes. After being consumed by predators like sharks or others, the sharks are then affected by the genetically modified fish through the development of various health conditions. In mice trials alone it was found that eating GMOs triggered mass tumors and early death in the animals — and that’s just crops. Genetically modified crops are concerning enough, but are much less complex than animals.
The fact of the matter is that no one truly knows the long term effects of GM crops, let alone GM animals. But hey, why not test it out on the public? After all, who cares? It’s not like the FDA will do anything to Monsanto despite the numerous studies linking GMOs to disease. Instead, they just say it’s pseudo science and that only FDA-backed ‘science’ is worth anything. Forget the fact that the only lifelong rat study done on GMOs found it led to tumor development.
So what can we do?
There are a number of methods here, but first and foremost the word needs to be spread far and wide that genetically modified salmon is being pushed through by the FDA. People despise GM products on average, with 90 plus percent in favor of at least labeling. In addition, there is a petition going around to send to politicians to ask them to stop this approval as they did in 2011.
Ultimately, it comes down to opposition. If enough people know this is coming and are very upset about it, they will have trouble ramming it through. That’s why they announce these things over Christmas weekend. They don’t want anyone to even hear about it — they want to make it harder to popularize since hardly anyone saw it.
We can beat this as we did back in 2011, and the FDA knows it. Their dirty tactics are not effective in the technological age in which the transfer of information is more powerful than ever. Share this news and spread the word. Block genetically modified salmon from getting put on your dinner table without any labels.

FDA Quietly Pushes Through Genetically Modified Salmon Over ...
My question in regard to genetically modified foods would be: "IS it better to die right away from genetically modified foods, or to slowly die or to permanently sterilize yourself, your children and your grandchildren from genetically modified foods?" This is a question literally everyone in the U.S. is facing right now whether they understand it or not.
Ten or so years ago or more when all this began with corn by Monsanto being registered as an insecticide I didn't think it could actually get this bad. But, in this one way we are now in the U.S. as bad or worse than China in regard to poisoning our people with food that isn't safe at any price.
Since many are dying of allergic reactions to this every day, week and year which is mostly undiagnosed because they die so quickly, not enough attention has been given to their deaths and so we find ourselves in this crazy place here in the U.S. in regard to genetically modified foods.
