GMOs Consistently Fail American Citizens. At What Point Will Our Government Realize This?

When an organic product is introduced into the marketplace, there are hardly ever any issues.
Yet, when a novel and unproven GMO product is introduced into the marketplace, it is the complete opposite, and the script is generally the same — unfulfilled promises, unforeseen consequences, lawsuits, patents, secrecy and attacks on critics.
EARLY GMOS
We saw it first with Roundup-resistant GMO corn and soy crops, which were promised to feed the world.
Not only did they not feed the world, but according to the Glyphosate Global Study, use of the cancer-linked glyphosate has increased 15-fold since genetically-modified crops were introduced in 1996. Bayer and Monsanto have been subsequently hit with billions of dollars in lawsuit judgments.
Another cancer-linked herbicide, dicamba, has had its own issues.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said that this chemical has “torn apart the social fabric of many farming communities” due to the property damage caused by its spraying on GMO crops and the ensuing conflict between neighbors. It has even resulted in a murder.
