Dear Friends,
We are eating foods everyday but knowingly or unknowingly we are poisoning our food, our children, our present and next generation and our genes.
Unfortunately, in India we are least aware about it and we are ignoring. Greenpeace, a not for profit organisation who do not accept any political and corporate donation to avoid lobby and to be independent so they can voice against anything which is harming our world, our environment.
Look at few of the GREENPEACE'S activities and please participate and share. They are fighting for us not for their individual interest.
Following are the excerpts from Greenpeace's website
Campaign story:
The anti GE campaign has contributed in ensuring a serious debate on the need for GE crops in the country. It has also ensured that India does not approve commercialisation of any GM food crop.
The campaign has brought together farmers, consumers, traders, scientists and other civil society organisations to put up a brave front against the entry of GM crops in our country. This resulted in the indefinite moratorium on Bt brinjal, the first GM food crop that was up for commercialisation.
While Bt brinjal has been stalled for now, 56 other crops are being genetically modified and are waiting for approval. Rice is the leader amongst these. If not stopped the entire country would become one big feeding experiment for GM seed companies.
The campaign is trying to plug the gaps in the existing regulatory system in the country to stop the release of any GM crops. We are also asking the government to come up with a bio-safety regime that will prioritise citizen’s health, environmental safety and the nation’s socio-economic fabric.
As the citizen is also a consumer and has a right to safe GM free food, we have been mobilizing consumers and engaging with food brands in the country to ensure that the food industry in the country remains GM free. For the first time in India there is a consumer campaign against GM food and food brands have started to notice this consumer opinion.
To summarise, our basic demands are:
1. A complete ban the release of any genetically modified organisms in the environment, either for commercial cultivation or for experiments.
2. Re-focus scientific research on ecological alternatives, to identify agro-ecological practices that ensure future food security under a changing climate.

The saga of corrupt government to promote Monsato
The outgoing congress government has passed the BRAI bill to protect Monsanto and I do not think the new government will do anything either. I do not see they will make any change as far as the Monsanto bribe them to promote their poisoned food. We really cannot differentiate between a GMO food and a non-GMO food.
I think it is time to wake up and spread the news. We must protest against it.

When a develop countries like Russia has banned GMO food, for what are we waiting?

It's Official - Russia Completely Bans GMOs
April 15, 2014 by Arjun Walia.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev recently announced that Russia will no longer import GMO products, stating that the nation has enough space, and enough resources to produce organic food.
If the Americans like to eat GMO products, let them eat it then. We don't need to do that; we have enough space and opportunities to produce organic food." - Medvedev
Russia has been considering joining the long list (and continually growing) of anti-GMO countries for quite some time now. It does so after a group of Russian scientists urged the government to consider at least a 10-year moratorium on GMOs to thoroughly study their influence on human health.
"It is necessary to ban GMOs, to impose moratorium (on) it for 10 years. While GMOs will be prohibited, we can plan experiments, tests, or maybe even new methods of research could be developed. It has been proven that not only in Russia, but also in many other countries in the world, GMOs are dangerous. Methods of obtaining the GMOs are not perfect, therefore, at this stage, all GMOs are dangerous. Consumption and use of GMOs obtained in such way can lead to tumors, cancers and obesity among animals. Bio-technologies certainly should be developed, but GMOs should be stopped. We should stop it from spreading. " - Irina Ermakova, VP of Russia's National Association for Genetic Safety
A number of scientists worldwide have clearly outlined the potential dangers associated with consuming GMOs. I recently published an article titled "10 Scientific Studies Proving GMOs Can Be Harmful To Human Health," you can read that in full here. These are just a select few out of hundreds of studies that are now available in the public domain, it seems that they continue to surface year after year.
Russia completely banning GMOs, such a large, developed nation is a big step forward in creating more awareness with regards to GMOs. Ask yourself, why have so many nations banned GMOs and the pesticides that go with them? It's because evidence points to the fact that they are not safe, they are young, and we just don't know enough about them to safely consume them. They just aren't necessary, so why produce them?
Within the past few years, awareness regarding GMOs has skyrocketed. Activism has played a large role in waking up a large portion of Earths population with regards to GMOs. People are starting to ask questions and seek answers. In doing so, we are all coming to the same conclusion as Russia recently came to.
In February, the State Duma introduced a bill banning the cultivation of GMO food products. President Putin ordered that Russian citizens be protected from GMOs. The States Agricultural Committee has supported the ban recommendation from the Russian parliament, and the resolution will come into full effect in July 2014.
This just goes to show what we can do when we come together and demand change and share information on a global scale. Change is happening, and we are waking up to new concepts of our reality every day. GMOs are only the beginning, we have many things to rid our planet of that do not resonate with us and are clearly unnecessary. We are all starting to see through the false justifications for the necessity of GMOs, no longer are we so easily persuaded, no longer do we believe everything we hear and everything we're presented with. Lets keep it going!
