The GMO war and what you should know

I have been reading a lot about GMO's and what they are doing to our food supplies and our health. GMO's are genetically modified organisms. Here's the definition from Wikipedia...

quote:
A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques, generally known as recombinant DNA technology, use DNA molecules from different sources, which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferred into an organism, giving it modified or novel genes. Transgenic organisms, a subset of GMOs, are organisms which have inserted DNA that originated in a different species.


There is a war going on between those that manufacture GMO's for such things as "better" crop and fighting weeds and insects. The problem is that GMOs are leeching into even organic farmlands to the dismay of farmers. It has gotten so bad in India, that suicides is a major epidemic with farmers over there because of how GMOs are causing havoc with their crop.

I will post a couple articles from Natural News about the GMO epidemic and you can judge for yourself the implications of GMOs on your health...
