The US factory farm meat, dairy and poultry industry is an out-of-control system based on cruel, filthy, disease-ridden and environmentally destructive animal prisons; GMO-and pesticide-tainted feeds; labor exploitation; false advertising; corporate corruption of government; and the use of massive amounts of dangerous pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, hormones and growth promoters. Factory-farm meat, dairy, poultry and fish are the number one cause of water pollution, soil degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, reproductive defects, hormone disruption and obesity.

We need to aggressively mobilize a full-blown online and on-the-ground food fight, complete with PESTICIDES MAKE FRUITS marketplace pressure, popular education, boycotts, litigation, brand de-legitimization, and direct action. AND VEGETABLES MORE To bolster these strategies and tactics, we need to AFFORDABLE. increase independent lab testing of brand-name foods so we can expose the human health and environmental poisons and toxins lurking in chemical-GMO-factory- LOWER COST LEADS TO farmed foods.

THE MAJORITY OF HUMAN STUDIES DID NOT SHOW AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN EXPOSURE TO GLYPHOSATE AND CANCER. ALTHOUGH A SMALL NUMBER OF STUDIES WITH A LIMITED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS FOUND A WEAK ASSOCIATION BETWEEN GLYPHOSATE EXPOSURE AND INCREASED RISK OF NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA (NHL), OTHER STUDIES DID NOT. THE STUDIES THAT FOUND NO ASSOCIATION BETWEEN GLYPHOSATE EXPOSURE AND NHL INCLUDED THE LARGEST AND MOST RELIABLE STUDY, WHICH INCLUDED OVER 50,000 PARTICIPANTS.

CORRELATION IS NOT THE SAME AS CAUSATION!

ON AVERAGE, GM TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION HAS REDUCED CHEMICAL PESTICIDE USE BY 37%, INCREASED CROP YIELDS BY 22% AND INCREASED FARMERS’ PROFITS BY 68%. YIELD GAINS AND PESTICIDE REDUCTIONS ARE LARGER FOR INSECT-RESISTANT CROPS THAN FOR HERBICIDE-TOLERANT CROPS. YIELD AND PROFIT GAINS ARE HIGHER IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES THAN IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES.
