Support Needed

If you like what I'm doing here, and you'd like to support it, donations can be made through this link below. It's certainly needed to help cover production costs.
( And a big bunch of appreciation & thanks to you if you do !)

-  NOT  !!

...but that's what they'd like you to believe, going by the way the biotech corporations and GM industry contracted scientists spin it out at us.


CBC Canada report on GMO contamination, especially from GMO plants containing drugs and chemicals

But like sex, they affect everyone and
everything in one way or another, sooner or later. What’s disconcerting is that you’ve probably missed your virgin moment without even realising it - since you, your family and your animals have probably been having an intimate GMO relationship for some time now - they just neglected to tell you. Or ask you. Or give you a choice to opt out if you're not interested. Or protect what you're interested in from GMO intrusion.

OTHER THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW

After I began researching GMOs several years ago, my ignorance of the agricultural and food world became exposed when I started to learn about nanotechnology, food irradiation, the corporate gobbling up of small farmers, contemporary conventional ( non-organic) farm practices in general, agricultural sciences and agricultural policy, that have all been occurring and developing virtually unnoticed, unquestioned and untethered for the most part, by the major community.

I also discovered that there are new agri-biological techniques that have outdated and superceded the GM technology ( observations supported by biotech industry folk ).

But this has made no difference to the all devouring GM machine in
its efforts at world food market control and ownership.

  A SHORT SUMMARY OF WHY GMOs CAUSE CONCERN ( AND ANGER )


( this section being written )

AUSTRALIAN MEDIA REPORTS 
ABOUT GMOs  (OLD & NEW)

( tv & radio )

Reports from australian 'mainstream' TV and radio
services you may have missed.

ABC radio & TV have virtually been the only news network, along with various community radio stations who have reported at any depth about GMOs in australia.

The ABC reports bear no apparent bias toward
either apro or anti GMO argument, and
officially remain neutral.


( this section still under construction, as is the
video & media section, link below - but there's still
plenty to watch or listen to, and lots more
to come )

AN EXAMPLE of  'SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT'  GM BANANA
( currently being written up )

" On May 26, 1992, the FDA declares that it has
determined that genetically modified foods are
'substantially equivalent' to conventionally grown
foods and therefore will not be subject to any special regulations."  Read more here (not linked yet )


And these are the organisms from which the
inserted genes in the GM Banana, which began
testing at the Queensland University of
Technology in mid 2008, are sourced :

a nematode ( a soil living roundworm), a glow in the
dark jellyfish, a strain of E.Coli and a soil bacterium


 
Plus genes from these sources :

maize
castor bean
cauliflower mosaic virus ( plant virus )
tobacco etch virus ( plant virus )

Read about the above gene sources, here ( not linked yet )
 

 The FDA justified it's position saying that assessments
concerning the safety of food products should be based on
the characteristic of the food product, and not on the
method used to develop the product.
 

Does this GM banana seem like it is
' substantially equivalent '
to a conventionally produced banana
to you ?

ABOUT THIS PROJECT...

The intention of this site is help make accessing as much GMO information as possible, and we'll give you links to the pro GM lobbyists and biotech companies as well, so you can make up your own mind ( look for the link in the site menu top left of each page ), and where to find the actively campaigning 'No GMOs' people and groups ( especially australia ).

We'll also give you links to the many and growing alternative, often proven better, economically more holistic, soil, nutrient, eco & climate friendlier, food supply options.
