Our food is tainted by dangerous chemicals, making us sick. In 2011, Courtney Swan was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, and told to avoid corn and soy. 85% of food starts from a patented seed sold by a chemical corporation that created Agent Orange. Corn, soy, and wheat are common allergens and heavily pesticide-sprayed crops. Since 1974, crops have been sprayed with glyphosate.
IG Farben, later Bayer's parent company, provided chemicals for Nazi nerve agents. Monsanto, joined with Agent Orange production. After the wars, they marketed glyphosate (Roundup), claiming it was harmless. GMO crops resisted Roundup, leaving food covered in toxic residue that doesn't wash off. Glyphosate is sprayed on wheat, oats, chickpeas, almonds, and potatoes. Organic food cannot contain GMOs and glyphosate. The Environmental Working Group found glyphosate in 80-90% of wheat-based products. Glyphosate is produced and distributed from China.
Bayer owns patented soybeans, corn, canola, and sugar beets, and is the largest GMO corn and soybean seed distributor. 80% of GMOs withstand glyphosate, with 280 million pounds sprayed annually. Glyphosate causes neurological damage, endocrine disruption, harms reproductive health and fetal development, and is classified as a carcinogen. It's found in breast milk, placentas, organs, sperm, rain, and drinking water.
Since January 2022, companies must disclose bioengineered ingredients, but glyphosate isn't labeled. Glyphosate researcher Doctor Don Huber warns glyphosate will make DDT look harmless. The US government subsidizes pesticide-sprayed crops, processed into high fructose corn syrup and refined vegetable oils. Bayer protects profits over public health, funding educational programs and lobbying. Two congressmen are working with Bayer to protect them from liability. Chronic illnesses are rising, and half the population is obese.
