POPSTHE MILKMAN COMETH! While Taylor was at the FDA in the early 90’s, he also oversaw the policy regarding Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH/rbST)—injected into cows to increase milk supply. The milk from injected cows has more pus, more antibiotics, more bovine growth hormone, and most importantly, more insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 is a huge risk factor for common cancers and its high levels in this drugged milk is why so many medical organizations and hospitals have taken stands against rbGH.

POPSAre Your Supermarket Plums Genetically Modified? Of course, this tip works not only for plums but for just about any fruit or vegetable in the fresh produce section. Nearly all of these foods are GM so it is wise to avoid them: • Soy • Corn • Cottonseed • Canola It would also be wise to limit products made from these ingredients, such as vegetable oils, maltodextrin and high-fructose corn syrup. In fact, because corn and soy are so widely used in processed foods, at least 70 percent of the processed foods at your supermarket contain GM ingredients. That’s seven out of every 10 products. Other GMO products include: • Some varieties of zucchini, crookneck squash, and papayas from Hawaii • Milk containing rbGH • Rennet (containing genetically modified enzymes) used to make hard cheeses • Aspartame (NutraSweet)

POPSMahesh Bhatt presents: Poison on the Platter “Poison on the Platter”, is an eye-opening film, made by Mahesh Bhatt and Ajay Kanchan, illustrating how all of our lives are gonna be (adversely) affected by genetically modified foods. It is no more a farmer’s issue alone, it’s a matter of the consumers’ right to food safety. You and I wouldn’t even be able to separate/choose a normal Brinjal from/over a GM one, if Bt Brinjal - a GM crop produced by the mighty agri-MNC Monsanto - is let through by our corrupt regulatory body. Let’s put up strong resistance, demanding a ban on GM food/crops for 5 years, until they are proven safe for human consumption by independent, long-term studies.

POPS GENETICALLY MODIFIED SUGAR BEETS: A BAD BET (AT THE WORST TIME)
BIOTECH PROMISES COME UP SHORT For more than a decade, biotech advocates spread promises of an unprecedented economic boom, but according to the San Francisco Chronicle, most of their hoopla remains “in the ‘promise’ category - and has been each year.” Their “smorgasbord of marketing claims,” writes the Asia Times, just adds to “the credibility problems that are piling up against genetic engineering.” The Wall Street Journal reported, “Not only has the biotech industry yielded negative financial returns for decades, it generally digs its hole deeper every year.” The Associated Press says it “remains a money-losing, niche industry.” In spite of their poor track record, advocates continue to convince politicians and others to invest in their infant technology. “This notion that you lure biotech to your community to save its economy is laughable,” said Joseph Cortright, an Oregon economist who co-wrote a report on the subject. “This is a bad-idea virus that has swept t

POPSMonsanto's Harvest of Fear Monsanto are evil. Evil, evil, evil. More: In the majority of cases where Monsanto sues, or threatens to sue, farmers settle before going to trial. The cost and stress of litigating against a global corporation are just too great. But Pilot Grove wouldn’t cave—and ever since, Monsanto has been turning up the heat…Monsanto demanded hands-on access to Pilot Grove’s in-house computers…petitioned to make potential damages punitive—tripling the amount that Pilot Grove might have to pay…Monsanto expanded the scope of the pre-trial investigation by seeking to quadruple the number of depositions.…Monsanto now subpoenaed the records of more than 100 of the co-op’s customers. In a “You are Commanded … ” notice, the farmers were ordered to gather up five years of invoices, receipts, and all other papers relating to their soybean and herbicide purchases, and to have the documents delivered to a law office in St. Louis. Monsanto gave them two weeks to comply.

POPSDebate over Genetically Modified crops continues Do you trust genetically modified food crops? I am leary of them because they have not been tested enough to know for certain how they affect our own genetic makeup. I had no idea that they have been on the market for so long. We probably have eaten GM foods without even knowing it.

POPSFencing in Europes Farmers Environmentalists claim that genetically modified foods are harmful to humans. Europeans and Americans have been eating GM foods for a dozen years without any apparent ill effects. EU farmers want GM crops because of its increased yield and profit potential. EU environment ministers are about to decide whether Europe should have GMO-free zones. Odds are that they will allow those countries that demand such zones to have them but they are unconvinced that GMO foods present any potential harm to humans. The deciding factor will, of course, be based on what is most economically feasible. Is it simply fear of bioengineering that raises opposition to genetically modified organisms? If we can increase our chances of survival by boosting the production of crops that nature has given us, then I ask why not?
