We knew that a lot of American crops were genetically modified. For example, we noted last year:
- Monsanto reports that - between 2008 and 2009 - 95% of all sugarbeets planted were genetically engineered to be able to tolerate high doses of the pesticide Roundup
- The USDA reports that 93% of all soy and 85% of all corn grown in the U.S. is an herbicide-resistant GE variety
- Similarly, around 93% of all cottonseed oil and more than 90% of all canola oil produced in the U.S. is herbicide-resistant GE
On Tuesday, the chair of the Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy, and Forestry of the House Committee on Agriculture - Glenn Thompson of Pennsylvania - said in Congressional testimony :
Bottom line: It's difficult to find non-GMO American food ... especially since the feds are doing everything they can to keep us in the dark.Nearly 80 percent of the food produced in the United States contains some kind of GM product ...
Comment: The American food supply has become a weapon of mass destruction. And it's only getting worse:
Even more toxic chemicals set to enter the food supply
