Even if you haven't heard of glyphosate yet, chances are you've either used it at home (it's the active ingredient in Roundup weed killer) or you've eaten food that's been grown with a little help from it – from a glyphosate-based herbicide used in Roundup ready crops (GMOs) or as pre-harvest treatment...
Thanks to glyphosate hitting the news so much over the past 1.5 months, GMO Truth #6 wound up taking a completely different direction here than originally planned. Substantial Equivalence was set to be the topic, but instead glyphosate takes center stage, since it's been around since 1974 (when Monsanto first released Roundup), and was such an important component in the dawn of GMOs.
The GMO Controversy is likely hitting another peak today as Dr. Oz airs a show specifically aimed at defending himself against some harsh critics -- particularly regarding his stance on genetically engineered food. Ten physicians recently lobbied Columbia University to sever all ties with Dr Oz. They said part of their reasoning stemmed from...
It appears that the "Safe and Accurate Labeling Act" is H.R. 1599, which as a bill title should make anyone following the GMO Controversy from any angle laugh out loud by the way (talk about politics), has hit a bit of a snag...
So in GMO TRUTH #5 here, after a quick intro for the first video interview of the project, I then play and discuss the "Drink a Whole Quart of It" video, referring to glyphosate of course. Then we get into the actual interview with Canadian GMO farmer Abe Wiens (although it's important to note, only one of Abe's crops is GMO), and then close with commentary on that interview and what's up next...
The GMO labeling debate continues to escalate, as more and more states construct their own initiatives, but at the same time, federal legislation is now on the table in the form of the “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act,” introduced by Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo...
The GMO Controversy is so full of polarizing viewpoints, distorted facts (both intentional and accidental), and at times just crazy banter, that you absolutely must appreciate moments like this video. Not only is it crystal clear how just ridiculously out of control a propaganda machine can run, but it's also a laugh-out-loud moment...
We're churning out back-to-back-to-back questions here right now with The Walk a Mile Project “Questions-Investigation-Truth” machine, and this next question relates to a pivotal term in the world of GMOs, one way or another, known as Substantial Equivalence...
GMO Labeling sits front and center this week for the House Agriculture Committee, as on Tuesday March 24th they held a hearing about the impact of GMO labeling on food prices. It's a perfect start to the GMO Controversy Blog, as it's quite easy to...
Today we're unveiling the next question for research, as originally documented on the GMO TRUTH Podcast from Monday of this week (check it out here if you'd like a preview of the 3 new sequences we're about to launch). Since we're also about to kick off our new blog designed to show both sides of the GMO controversy, I thought I'd start off this new sequence with...
