Worldwide sentiment is shifting against Monsanto and GMO food crops. And China is making major moves.
At sustainablepulse.com, we have this May 14, 2014, article: "Chinese Army Bans All GMO Grains and Oil from Supply Stations":
"The Chinese army has
ordered all military supply stations to only allow the purchase of
non-GMO grain and food oil due to health safety concerns over GMOs.
"This move by the
Chinese army is being seen as yet another step towards the Chinese
government's expected ban on the import of all GMO grains and oilseeds
within the next 2 years, due to growing public concern over GMOs. The
expected ban would be a huge blow to the Biotech industry worldwide.
"The Hubei Province Xiangyang City Grain Bureau's website announced on May 6, 2014:
"'During recent years,
as China's grain and oil market has continuously developed, certain GMO
grain and GMO food oil products have entered the market. In view that
the safety concerns about GMO grain and oil products in China at present
has not yet been determined, in order to overall assure the health of
military members residing in our city and safety of their drinks and
food, in accordance to the request from the Guangzhou Military Command
Joint Logistics Department and the Provincial Military Grain & Food
Oil Supply Center, from this date all military supply stations are
allowed to only purchase non-GMO grain and food oil products from the
designated processing enterprises. It is forbidden to supply GMO grain
and food oil products to military units within their administration
areas.
"'Chen I-wan, an
Advisor to the Committee of Disaster History to the
China Disaster Prevention Association has stated: "The army has
established [an] excellent model for people of the whole nation: No GMO
staple food and GMO food oil should enter the army food supply."
China---protecting its Army from GMOs. And soon, perhaps the entire population of the country.
Apparently, Chinese
GMO science differs from American GMO science, where a mere nod and a
wink between the FDA and Monsanto, 20 years ago, launched a big Ag
revolution that continues to contaminate US lands.
China, by the way, is
home to 20% of the world's population. "GMO-free China" has an
interesting ring. Which domino will fall next? India, where 17% of the
Earth's people live, where farmers who have been duped and bankrupted by
Monsanto, have been committing suicide in large numbers?
Then there is Russia. Putin recently declared, in reference to a possible ban on GMOs: "We
need to properly construct our work so that it is not contrary to our
obligations under the WTO. But even with this in mind, we nevertheless
have legitimate methods and instruments to protect our own market, and
above all citizens."
Likewise, groups in Africa are pushing back against the US/Monsanto/Bill Gates plan to flood the continent with GMO crops.
In all these cases,
world leaders outside the US are seeing the GMO sell-job as an attempt
to extend American hegemony, through what amounts to an act of war.
Well, what else would you call artificial gene-contamination and poisoning by herbicides?
