The food we eat today is very different from the food our ancestors ate. Companies like Monsanto are genetically modifying it to the point where it can have a number of dangerous side effects. A number of watchdog companies have recently found that glyphosate, a carcinogenic compound could be in some genetically modified food.
Key Takeaways:
- Food is being genetically altered in various new ways so that corporations like Monsanto can monopolize on the sale of their agricultural chemicals (Roundup).
- Genetic alterations can be classified into three groups, transgenic, cisgenic, and intragenic.
- This is a greater problem than just corporations making a lot of money. Glyphosate chelates important minerals from the soil, preventing crops from taking up iron, manganese, zinc, and boron.
“Food labels only brush the surface, distracting everyone with meaningless concepts like total calories. The most important information that the consumer needs to know goes unmeasured; it is kept silent.”
