I am writing this blog post because I know many of you purchase Kellogg's products. Some of you might not know that you are purchasing Kellogg's products (I didn't realize it until recently). Kelloggs is an umbrella company and some of it's brands include KASHI, MORNING STAR FARMS, BEAR NAKED, GARDENBURGER. I had to caps lock those for bluntness..... Here is some Kellogg's Products:
It is unfortunate that Kellogg's has jumped on the Genetically Modified Organism Bandwagon...They currently and have been using Monsanto's Genetically Modified Organisms:.... gmo sugar, gmo corn, gmo canola etc.... However, you would never know!!!
WHY? The public does not know that the products they purchase have these virus infestations in their foods!! Monsanto has pushed the USDA on the use of GMO's in USA. Therefore, they were successful on this push, and It is okay for them to grow GMO produce now and be a distributor to many food companies like Kellogg. Mind you, Monsanto is the same company that created Agent Orange, and Round Up Ready .These are pesticides and herbicides embedded in the GMO crop.They have accelerated the use of these crops. However, they have been adamant of not labeling products ingredients with GMO for public knowledge. Thus, Monsanto claims GMO crops and foods have no significant health risks associated with the consumption. Differently, the European Union has banned the use of GMO until scientific evidence states otherwise. Here a side note:
"Monsanto has refused to release all the results of its own tests on the maize (corn), although it has now been ordered to do so by a German court." If they are going to use this type of seed then it is their responsibility to educate the public on the ingredients in their foods. The USDA and FDA have fallen short of their responsibility. It is because of Monsanto's infamous influence and financial power on the government with their lobbyist (Sure, I don't doubt it one bit).
For those of you who do not know what exactly is a GMO, here is a link
I encourage you, every single one of you, to be active in this.... This is the future of your food, your children's foods, and the coming generations. God has not called us to sit back and do nothing... that is Idleness... Many of you may not see this as an important issue. But have you ever thought.... Why are foods labeled Organic now? Before the 1950s and 1960s, the industrial revolution had not infiltrated the food companies.. There was no need for the labeling of Organics because everything was Organic already..... Since the 1950s and 60s, there has been a movement, a Organic movement to educate the people of the United States the right to good wholesome foods without chemicals and preservatives, especially genetically modified foods.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government-lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
Past genereations had to deal with civil rights with African Americans and Woman rights.... Freedoms that our ancestors fought for. This passion and desire for better was demanded by the people from the government. However, this generation has to stand up and have the burning passion to declare and demand the civil rights of knowledge. The knowledge of the foods sold to us and given in the private and public schools. It is not limited to just schools: Grocery stores, Restaurants.... You know the food you just ordered at your favorite restaurant ( unless it was made with organic ingredients ofcourse). This is our baby to demand and require from the government. The right of the American People to know what is being sold to us, given to our children, and the future of food.
Many of you cannot afford to purchase Organic food, and I am aware of that!! However, there would be no need for the purchasing of Organically labeled foods if companies like Monsanto and the government did not allow for the production of the GMO food. Similarly, the non labeling of these products are deceiving the public's ability to decipher if it is worthy for their family's meal. Organic labeling is not going away....It is now our duty to ensure the people's civil right to know what is in the food we buy...Then, you decide "Do I want to buy these GMO products?" I think many people would just go the other way and purchase items from other sources that are Anti-GMO.
So: What to do? You can continue on your merry way. Purchase these products and feed them to your family. In addition, you can act like everything is going to be okay.
OR
You can take part and be active to choose Organic whenever possible. You can sign the petition against Kelloggs... that's one place to start. Every time you purchase non GMO foods, you take a stand against Monsanto. That ringing at the Cash Register lets companies know what you chose to feed your family. Organic is a movement for better living. Do not succumb to complacency and contention. Stand up for your Rights as US Citizens, as did the Europeans against GMOs. Their government listened to their cry!! If the people rise up and declare otherwise in the US, what more could our government do, but submit to the authority of the people. It is your right!!
I wrote this article with much passion and love for all of you, it is to educate and promote pro-activity in your daily choices.
Thank you for reading,
