Irradiated, Genetically Engineered, Nutrition

Hi.

I work with an organization, or coordinate with an organization called the Organic Consumers Association. And we are working to educate people about all types of food safety issues, but especially in the forefront now are those food irradiation and the genetic engineering of the food supply.

Genetically Engineered Food In Our Supermarkets

I want to give out our web site address because it is considered one of the top web sites in the world to go to get information on genetic engineering, food irradiation, mad cow disease, the toxic sewage sludge used on crops and any number of other food safety issues. And that is www.purefood.org very simple to remember.

At this time, it's estimated that two out of every three teaspoons of the food in our supermarkets has been genetically engineered or contains genetically engineered ingredients of some sort. In this country, there are no labeling requirements whatsoever, and there are no human safety tests required at all by the FDA.

This is alarming not only to many Americans, but especially to most of the rest of the world who are up in arms and who are marching in the street briefs to keep these genetically engineered foods out of their supermarkets. I put together a video to give an idea of what's going on around the world. I want to apologize, the footage from Britain has a time code at the bottom, which I was not able to get another copy to use. So I apologize for that, you'll still be able to see most of it. And anyway, you'll get to see the what's going on in other parts of the world as compared to what's going on in this country where most people, even many health minded people are not even aware that they're eating these foods. So can we roll the video, please?

It's today. You can put fish genes into yeast, yeast genes into fish, fruit fly genes into yeast, yeast genes into fruit flies. Human genes into fruit flies. It's a real menagerie.

Clones are in your supermarket.

Most of the bananas that are produced are produced from plants that have been cloned through tissue culture.

The pig may save your life.

These pigs are no different than any other pig, with the exception that they have two human genes.

Some even say that what's at stake is the very survival of the human race.

It's a race between the microbes and us, and what we've got is our brains.

Genetically Modifying Plants

Tonight, fooling with Mother Nature. It may be our only option.

I want to paint what's happening here.

This frontline in a country where we've had huge
