If you wish to have more information on Genetic Modification of foods, consider this:  the vast majority of people in America want food that is genetically modified to be labeled as such.  Corporations in the big business of genetic modification have stalled such labeling.  Most people surveyed think that they have never eaten GM food, though virtually all have.  90% of all US grown soybeans, and over 60% of the corn and canola crop are from genetically modified seeds. In one form or another, soybeans and corn are some of the most common ingredients in American food today.  If you shop in a conventional grocery store and purchase packaged food, it is guaranteed that many of the items in your kitchen right now contain many genetically modified food ingredients, such as high fructose corn syrup, vegetable oils and soy lecithin.  Why this information gap?

Monsanto in particular is quite busy totally infiltrating the food chain, the world's pollen, and native vegetation with genes that are not found in nature.  This experiment in "Franken food" is creating repercussions in nature that we can only begin to understand. Genetically Modified corn grown from seed that was not approved for human consumption made its way to the food supply, and to the kitchen table, in the US.  Other countries have banned genetically modified food entirely, and have refused imports of food from the US because of this issue. Studies that implicate GM food as a cause for cancer are often buried by the "Powers That Be" in the food industry. 

Bits of modified genes that are not present in nature and are lab created are being found in many other native species of plants, and indeed, could theoretically infiltrate most living plant species over time unless efforts are made to end the Genetically Modification of plants and seeds.  USDA Certified Organic Food, as of 2007, contains no genetically modified ingredients.  Laws to loosen the organic standards are currently passing legislation, so this could change in the future.  If modified genes freely float throughout the food chain, and the natural world, it could become impossible to be completely certain that our diet is free of genetically modified material. There is no way to contain GM pollen to one field or particular area, it travels for miles freely on the wind, and its unhampered spread threatens to disrupt life on the planet as we know it.

Over 60% of the corn in this country is grown from GM seed.  Corn seed is now routinely produced with genes that induce the production of substances (Bt) within the plant itself which kill caterpillars that ingest any part of the plant. These genes are openly spread by wind-borne pollen and insects to nearby and even quite distant corn crops, as well as other vegetation.

The effect on butterflies and moths needs to be considered, though we are hardly in a position to fully predict how the food chain is affected by the addition of man-made genes. This has never been done before!  How many birds are dependent on the bugs for sustenance?  How are they affected as these “killer” genes are disseminated into the food chain?  How are we to be affected when strands from the web of life, of which we are but a part, are literally being altered, removed, and reinvented?
