Why GMO’s Need To Be Avoided!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good Morning Friends!\u00a0 Today, we would like to talk about avoiding GMO’s.\u00a0 The subject of GMO’s is very near and dear to our heart.\u00a0 Rod and I were both raised in families that were farmers.\u00a0 While growing up, we witnessed farming the way God intended it to be.\u00a0 Our families worked from sun up to sun down working their ground, sowing seeds, weeding the fields by hand, and raising their animals humanely.\u00a0 We were both taught the ways of the land and how important it is to be hard workers to reap the rewards at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

While their is an age gap between the two of us, we were both raised up the same way.\u00a0 We still hold those ways near to our heart, and we practice those ways in our own family.\u00a0 Our daughters love going out to the garden with us.\u00a0 They help work the ground (pulling weeds and loading their buckets with dirt) and love helping us plant the seeds and seedlings.\u00a0 We have a large garden that we grow many fruits and vegetables in.\u00a0 We have peach, apple, and cherry trees.\u00a0 We grow blueberries, raspberries, and grapes.\u00a0 Walking around our yard in the summer time is like going to eat at a smorgasbord.\u00a0 When it comes time to harvest, our daughters love to see what they helped to grow.\u00a0 The smile on their faces and excitement to pick and eat what w\u00a0 e have grown makes all the work worthwhile!<\/p>\n

Farming the way we know it started to change over to chemicals in the 1970’s.\u00a0 The first gene splicing took place in 1972.\u00a0 By 1983, Monsanto figured out with the help of two agriculture scientists that they could take out harmful genes from plasmids and introduce the desired gene and get the plasmid into the plant cell where it would introduce the gene into the nucleus of the plant itself.\u00a0 This opened the floodgates for genetic engineering and the introduction to Round-Up.\u00a0 GMO’s took over nearly 92% of the soybeans planted in the U.S. in 2008 according to the USDA.\u00a0 Monsanto continues to drive GMO’s today!<\/p>\n

We have studied GMO’s and the effects on our bodies in great detail.\u00a0 We have taken a vow to spread the word about GMO’s not only destroying human life, but animals, and the land as well.\u00a0 We feel very strongly about growing our food the way God intended us to, not the way of greed and mankind.\u00a0 With that said, here are our top 10 reasons to stay away from GMO’s.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Health Harms.\u00a0 GMO’s are grown with toxic chemicals.\u00a0 Pesticide residues are known to be harmful to human health.\u00a0 Numerous health problems increased after the introduction of GMO’s.\u00a0 Allergies, digestive problems, disorders such as Autism, and reproductive disorders from 7% to 13% in just 9 years.<\/li>\n
  2. GMO crops require a large amount of chemicals, which are harmful to not only the soil that the crops are grown in, but the soil surrounding the crops as well.<\/li>\n
  3. GMO’s contaminate our organic farms and local food systems.<\/li>\n
  4. GMO’s lead to beneficial insects such as the honey bee being harmed.\u00a0 Honey bees are losing existence due to the chemicals that are being sprayed on the plants.\u00a0 GMO’s have contributed to the massive bee die-off over the last four years.<\/li>\n
  5. GMO’s are promoting a growing epidemic of “superweeds”.\u00a0 These weeds have grown a resistance to “glyphosate” a chemical used on GM crops.\u00a0 Stronger chemicals are being used to now control the weeds.<\/li>\n
  6. Moral and Ethical Concerns.\u00a0 The mutation of genes has spread over to the health of animals.\u00a0 Animals ingesting GMO grown feed, mostly maize, have been subjected to severe organ failure.<\/li>\n
  7. GMO’s do not increase yield production, they actually work against feeding the world!<\/li>\n
  8. GMO’s lead to corporate control over seeds and food.<\/li>\n
  9. GMO farming has resulted in a loss of family farming and an increase of industrial farming.<\/li>\n
  10. Last but not least, GMO’s are not the way of God.\u00a0 God created our food and instructed us in how to grow it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Make sure you are seeking out organic foods, organic farming practices, and Veried Non-GMO Foods!\u00a0 If we continue to come together, we will win the fight against GMO’s.<\/p>\n

    With love from our family to yours,<\/p>\n

    Rod and Maria Wagner<\/p>\n
