Advertising

Without a television, I sometimes miss the subliminal messages sent through advertising.  Monsanto made an odd statement in their Super Bowl ad last February, and I think it needs to be noted.  There is also a link for cynical article which includes a parody made about Monsanto "improving" upon what G-d has done.

The Super Bowl ad did not include a father in either family.

GMO Free Brands

All foods at this site are not kosher, that's in the link below this one on the main page, but these are foods and name brands that are said to be non-GMO.  We are not promoting the ingestion of anything forbidden in Torah, but this list is just too valuable for those seeking to avoid genetically modified food.  All things considered, since Torah also forbids the mingling of seeds, that would probably forbid modifying the DNA.  To alter creation by mixing species is complete rebellion against our Creator!

Revolving Door

It would seem Michael R. Taylor has a dance partner at the revolving door of Monsanto and FDA.  Margaret Miller actually did the research and wrote the presentation as a Monsanto employee before becoming agency deputy director of new animal drugs for the FDA.

It doesn't matter who will be elected, Monsanto is big.  I would urge you to please Google "Monsanto and FDA"

More poison has been approved!  http://www.agprofessional.com/news/Dow-two-Bt-soybean-insect-resistant-trait-approved-257548091.html

A Swarm of Honey Bees

In picking blackberries this week, I was blessed to happen upon a swarm of honey bees.  Considering the time of day and their number, I'm guessing the hive is not too far, maybe even on the place.  I have a friend who is an urban bee keeper in another state, but he does not "rent" his bees agriculturally, to protect them from the GMO crops.  I am fortunate in that there are no row crops for a couple of miles.  The land here at Goshen was never developed, so I'm not fighting chemical herbicides or pesticides, just rocks and weeds.


As I gave thanks for the bees, I was led to share this information.  We've taught our children to fear bee stings, and obviously they do hurt, but . . . Honey bees do not sting aggressively.  A honey bee only stings when they are protecting the hive, which few of us see, or when they sense ultimate danger.  Honey bees die when they sting, so obviously stinging is not their first instinct.  If only Monsanto did not have a free pass with the Supreme Court and the FDA, perhaps honey bees could be on the endangered species list.

I must report a serious fact of life regarding honey bees and our future.  Our food supply requires pollination.  Honey bees and butterflies are needed, but they are very susceptible to harm by the commercial pesticides.  The big name commercial pesticides do not differentiate between pollinators and pests and neither does the genetically altered DNA.  As a matter of fact, the genetically altered DNA really doesn't distinguish between pests and customers.

Honey bee colonies are dying and the their number dwindling, we know that.  Urban bee keepers go out of their way to keep their bees from treated fields of altered grains and produce; while the altered grains and produce are by wind and dying pollinators cross pollinating with pure fields.  The danger is real and the danger is now!  It's already been proven that much of the genetically altered DNA will dominate in cross pollination as well as crossbreeding . . .   We are rapidly approaching the time in which the general food supply will be altered from that ordained by our Creator.  There is no reason to think humans will tolerate this genetically altered and chemically treated produce any better than the bees have.
