Our food is tainted by dangerous chemicals, making us sick. In 2011, Courtney Swan was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, a common sensitivity among her generation. 85% of our food starts from patented seeds sold by chemical corporations, including companies responsible for Agent Orange.
Since 1974, crops have been sprayed with glyphosate, and GMOs were introduced in the 90s. Companies like Bayer, formerly IG Farben, market glyphosate-based products like Roundup, claiming they're harmless. GMO crops resist glyphosate, leaving food covered in toxic residue that doesn't wash off. Glyphosate is sprayed on wheat, oats, chickpeas, almonds, and potatoes. Organic food is more expensive but avoids GMOs and glyphosate.
The Environmental Working Group found glyphosate in 80-90% of wheat-based products, including Cheerios and Nature Valley bars. Glyphosate is produced and distributed from China. Bayer owns patents for soybeans, corn, canola, and sugar beets and is the largest distributor of GMO corn and soybean seeds. 80% of GMOs are engineered to withstand glyphosate, with 280 million pounds sprayed annually.
Glyphosate is linked to neurological damage, endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and fetal development issues and is classified as a carcinogen. It's found in breast milk, placentas, organs, sperm, rain, and drinking water. While GMO labeling exists, glyphosate isn't labeled. Doctor Don Huber warns glyphosate will make DDT look harmless. The US government subsidizes pesticide-sprayed crops, which are processed into unhealthy ingredients. Bayer protects its profits, funding educational programs and lobbying. Chronic illnesses are rising, and 77% of young Americans are ineligible for military service.
