MONSANTO'S GENETICALLY MODIFIED CORN COMING TO A PLATE NEAR YOU!

MONSANTO'S GENETICALLY MODIFIED CORN COMING TO A PLATE NEAR YOU!
This is the title of a horror film to give you nightmares for weeks... but this is a true story about Zombie Frankenfood that will come to life this Fall, find its way to your home, and you might unknowingly invite it in for dinner.

Monsanto co. plans to launch a Sweet Corn Fall 2011 that is intended for our grocery stores and you wont be able to tell the difference between natural corn and this FrankenCorn.  In addition to the corn in the fresh produce section, Monsanto is also in talks with companies who will can or freeze their corn - contaminating your long-term food storage options too!  You may already be familiar with the Monsanto's genetically modified, Round-Up Ready corn they developed for the feed and fuel industries, but this corn is intended for human consumption.  The corn is genetically modified to be resistant to RoundUp herbicide being sprayed directly on it, killing everything around it BUT the corn.  ICK!
Being genetically-altered is creepy enough of an idea by itself, but to make things worse, independent laboratory studies have found that these gmo corns causes organ failure, sterilization and other serious problems in rats.  DOUBLE ICK!
Now is a better time than any to start budgeting so you can afford to spend a little bit more at the grocery store to choose Organic over generic foods. 
If your budget is tight, the best solution would be to grow your own garden using seeds that are Non-GMO, Non-hybrid.  You can grow an entire garden that will provide vegetables for months for the price of only a few vegetables from the grocery store!  You control how your garden is grown, and which chemicals (or lack thereof!) you have (or have not!) used.  Plus, with your own garden, you can be ready for whatever the future may bring... job loss, inflation, disaster or emergency that causes a run at the stores, etc.

Here is a whole can full of seeds for your garden that are non-hybrid, non-gmo from Survival Products Direct - click HERE - this is great because each of the cans contain several pouches of seeds.  Instead of the paper pouches you see in the stores that can rip open or get wet, these are in resealable mylar pouches... resealable so you can plant a few seeds now, then reseal the pouch and then plant more a couple weeks after, so you can stagger your harvests (so you don't have 30 squash all ripe in the same week, you can plant them so you'd have 10 ripe per week for example).  The can has a lid, so you can keep all of your pouches handy and tidy all in one place instead of open and spilling all over the garage!
