Jeffrey Smith
GMO Expert
The leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices, Jeffrey Smith’s meticulous research documents how biotech companies continue to mislead legislators and safety officials to put the health of society at risk and the environment in peril. His work expertly summarizes why the safety assessments conducted by the FDA and regulators worldwide teeter on a foundation of outdated science and false assumptions, and why genetically engineered foods must urgently become our nation’s top food safety priority. Mr. Smith’s feature-length documentary Genetic Roulette — The Gamble of Our Lives was awarded the 2012 Movie of the Year (Solari Report) and the Transformational Film of the Year (AwareGuide). Described as a “life-changer†and seen by millions world-wide, the film links genetically engineered food to toxic and allergic reactions, infertility, digestive disorders, and numerous problems that have been on the rise in the US population since genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were introduced. His books include: Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating, which is the world’s bestseller on GMOs; and Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, which is the authoritative work on GMO health dangers.
Jeffrey gives the background of the first big introduction of GMO’ in the soy bean and explains in gritty detail of how it works and how and why it is detrimental to eat GMO foods.
There are two issues with eating non organic GMO foods: The poison Glyphosate and the GMO that are in the food and disrupt the entire system, starting i the gut.
The other big GMO crops in the U.S. Soy, Wheat, Cotton and Canola.
Jeffrey tells the fascinating story of how Canola Oil came into being
We talk about what other Countries are doing regarding GMO’s i.e. Mexico is banning importing and exporting GMO corn.
We talk about the plan in 2018 whereby Whole Foods was going to have all GMO foods labeled and it never happened because the CEO, John Mackey doesn’t believe they are dangerous.
Jeffrey talks about the various lawsuits Monsanto is dealing with and how regretful Bayer is for paying 65 billion in cash for Monsanto
The GMO Salmon is being put to market soon and it will not, for example by known by restaurant customers if the salmon is GMO or not.
He is concerned about the GMO salmon or eggs being release into the oceans
And now mosquitoes are are being genetically engineered with millions already released. What could possibly go wrong.

After millions of dollars of public money was invested into breeding industrial rapeseed into edible canola oil, Monsanto came along and added their Roundup-resistance gene, and effectively stole it. Jeff is right; they now control about 95% of the canola-seed market.

Sadly, contrary to what Jeff says around the 48-min. mark, Percy Schmeiser did use Roundup. His motivation was not based on returning canola to its pre-Roundup-Ready status, rather, on allowing farmers the right to grow Roundup Ready canola without paying Monsanto’s exorbitant licensing fee. Sadly, instead of fighting his case in court on this principled ground, he instead turned to arguing that he never knowingly grew Monsanto’s canola.

I have been curious to know if the cotton candy flavored grapes are GMO or were created with selective breeding techniques.

Farmer’s are forced to use GMO seeds and Glyphosate or they do not get government subsidies. We use to live on a farm.
