What Every American Should Know About What Is In The Food We Eat

by Long Island Attorney Paul A. Lauto, Esq.

In the movie Apocalypse Now, Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore (played by Robert Duvall) may have had a strange love for the smell of napalm in the morning, but would he have loved the taste of “Agent Orange” in his food? As absurd as that sounds, it is now essentially true with the blessing of the USDA.

In the past, genetically modified foods contained toxic glyphosate sprayed on GM corn and other foods, in part in effort to stave off weeds. These “Round Up Ready” crops developed by the likes of Monsanto, were heralded to be the means to feed the world. But even though these GM crops had built in weed killer resistance, weeds managed to build up a resistance of their own and became “Super Weeds.” Subsequently, the extremely toxic glyphosate which we all ingested with our GM foods, was no longer capable of doing its intended job. “Super Weeds” took over, yields were down instead of up and a GM label law war was well underway in the United States.

Notwithstanding, Dow has found a solution to the problem which has now been approved by the USDA for use in GM corn. That solution is that if toxic glyphosate isn’t a strong enough poison to do the job, then add a reportedly even stronger poison 2, 4-D to the mix. There is just one small problem, in that 2, 4-D is a main ingredient in “Agent Orange!” Perhaps the USDA doesn’t remember “Agent Orange” which was used in the Vietnam War and what it did to people including our soldiers. The smell of poison in the air is one thing, but do we really want to eat it in our food?
