Indigenous Wisdom — The Truth About Genetically Modified Corn

This interview is with a Native American elder about GMO corn.

Monsanto and others are transforming our seeds. I want to give my words to the world that these seeds are dying because many of these seeds are transgenics now. Our dances, our songs are for the Gods, for Grandmother. And I ask everyone to pray for these seeds.
The seeds are for all the people. They don’t belong to nobody. They belong to all the people of the world.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced three bills designed to protect consumers, defend farmers’ rights, and increase food safety. The bills collectively create a comprehensive framework to regulate GMOs. Kucinich said:

We have a responsibility to put the public health and the environment before profits.  These bills spell out common sense precautions.

•H.R. 6636, The Genetically Engineered Food Right To Know Act, would require mandatory labeling of all foods that contain or are produced with GM material.

• H.R. 6635, The Genetically Engineered Safety Act, would require that GE foods follow a food safety review process to prevent contamination of food supplies by pharmaceutical and industrial crops. This Act would also require that the FDA screen all GE foods to ensure they are safe for human consumption.

• H.R. 6637, The Genetically Engineered Farmer Protection Act, places liability from the impacts of GM crops on the biotechnology companies that created the GMOs, and protects farmers from lawsuits by biotechnology companies.
