Corporations do not want people to know the dangers of GMO foods. They use intimidation of scientists keep us in ignorance.
Árpád Pusztai and Ignacio Chapela have two things in common. They are distinguished scientists and their careers are in ruins. Both scientists choose to look at the phenomenon of genetic engineering. Both made important discoveries. Both of them are suffering the fate of those who criticize the powerful vested interests that now dominate big business and scientific research.
Statements made by scientists themselves prove that 95% of the research in the area of genetic engineering is paid by the industry. Only 5% of the research is independent. The big danger for freedom of science and our democracy is evident. Can the public -- we all -- still trust our scientists?

Sad Day for Food Freedom
The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2751 - the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act - on Dec 22 with a 216 to 144 vote (yes, many members of the House did not even vote).
Formerly called Food Safety Bill S510, this Bill is NOT About Food Safety. It is a draconian piece of legislation that literally places food under the control of the Department of Homeland Security, the organization created supposedly for foreign terrorists. Now, the DHS has the legal power to seize food production, force recalls, and shut down any farms it deems unsafe. This includes your backyard garden - should you want to sell anything you produce on your land, or even give away to a neighbor.
So it is now a revolutionary act to grow your own food, and we hope you all do!
Wherever you are located we urge families to develop their own square foot gardens and become as independent as possible from the attempt to control our food to restrict our freedoms. For help on how to grow your own healthy food see the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Food Freedom Journal at http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=2788.
Better buy yourself some heirloom seeds while you still have the chance.
In this video made prior to the passing of the bill, Glenn Beck explains the implications and urges people to express their opposition to it:
