Why Schools Should Remove Gene-Altered Foods from Their Cafeterias

Schools in Wisconsin are showing kids the dangers of genetically engineered (GE) junk food with some unique science class experiments. Sister Luigi Frigo repeats the experiment every year in her second grade class in Cudahy. Students feed one group of mice unprocessed whole foods. A second group of mice are given the same junk foods served at most schools. Within a couple of days, the behavior of the second group of mice develop erratic sleeping schedules and become lazy, nervous and even violent. It takes the mice about three weeks on unprocessed foods to return to normal. According to Frigo, the second graders tried to do the experiment again a few months later with the same mice, but the animals have already learned their lesson and refuse to eat the GE food.

This is the reason why the Monsantos and ADMs of the world so rabidly resist labeling laws. The idea that people who see this might start thinking that their health is more important than profit for Big Agra scares the sh*t out of them. The only way they are going to be able to get most people to buy their garbage is to make it as difficult as possible to identify it in the supermarket.

Buy local and from producers you trust.

Not news, I'm over 50 and we did the same kind of experiment on mice when I was in 4th grade...fed one crap and the other good stuff...It didn't change anything despite the fact that the evidence was empirical...

That's a built in human frailty...that's the frailty KKKarl Rove/Tucker Eskew are exploiting. It's the same frailty Cedit Card companies exploit...'It's not going to happen to me; Things will get better if I pray for it to be better. God will answer my prayers.'

Yep. Give them their SUVs, a bag of MickeyD, and a 60" flat screen plasma TeeVee showing nothing but garbage and god, and the sheep are safely penned.

Now lets do the same experiment some way with cellphones and cellphone-tower exposure.

Kucinich introduces comprehensive regulatory framework for GMOs
Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced three bills designed to protect consumers, defend farmers’ rights, and increase food safety. The bills collectively create a comprehensive framework to regulate GMOs.

• H.R. 6636, The Genetically Engineered Food Right To Know Act, would require mandatory labeling of all foods that contain or are produced with GM material.

• H.R. 6635, The Genetically Engineered Safety Act, would require that GE foods follow a food safety review process to prevent contamination of food supplies by pharmaceutical and industrialcrops. This Act would also require that the FDA screen all GE foods to ensure they are safe forhuman consumption.

• H.R. 6637, The Genetically Engineered Farmer Protection Act, places liability from the impacts of GM crops on the biotechnology companies that created the GMOs, and protects farmers from lawsuits by biotechnology companies.

I wish we coulda had Dennis on the ticket...

I'm in total agreement.
