Connecting the Dots: Novel GMO-Based Bug Threatens U.S. Food Supplies

A Professor Emeritus and senior plant pathologist from Purdue University, Dr. Don Huber, warns that a new organism spawned by glyphosate (the primary ingredient of Roundup) has infected GM corn and soy feed and poses a grave threat to livestock and agriculture in the US. But, the government has turned the other cheek to the scientific data and approved two new glyphosate (Roundup) dependent crops, GM Alfalfa and GM Sugar Beets, despite the clear evidence that glyphosate has led to a 20% infertility rate in cattle and dairy herds, and an abortion rate of 45% in some animals. I'm very happy to see this story on HuffPost and hope it gets more mainstream attention as it is a critical issue for all of us. Included in the piece is a link for co-signing a letter to halt new GM crop planting until independent peer-reviewed studies are completed.

  1. We must behead this dragon! No corporation is better or stronger, has more rights than the people. MON-SATAN must be stopped ! Our president Mr. Obama did a woderful job ridding our world of one terrorist threat while blatantly unleashing another..., MR.Vilsack and his Corporate Best Friend, MONSANTO. Our secretary of agriculture, Mr. Tom Vilsack.., is a Monsanto plant..., meant to give them free illegal passes. KNOW THAT and stop it! Sounds like maybe a little too much interest there for me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~><))'>
