Why this petition matters

Started by Olivier Sanchez

Since Boris Johnson has won a majority of seats in the House of Commons, he will potentially have unstoppable powers in decision making.

As soon as he became Prime Minister he promised to open the door to commercial GMO crops, which means that cattle will soon be given GMO-containing feeds and we will be flooded with GMO-containing foods.

While this won't happen overnight, it will soon happen and it is very likely that our freedom will be violated in the same it has been done in the US. To this day, there is no regulation in place forcing manufacturers to list GMO ingredients on food labels in the US.

Do you really think it will be any different over here? Many of us do not think so!

Boris Johson is not a dictator. The UK is (as far as we are led to believe) a Democracy. You have a voice and it is now time to make it heard. SAY NO TO GMOs. 

Why GMOs are an issue? It is not so much that food is genetically modified (even though such food is considered alien by the body) but that such 'food' is designed to resist the devastating effect of pesticides, particularly glyphosate (RoundUp), and that concerning levels of glyphosate are found in GMOs grains and all food made with these grains. The cumulative effect of consuming a large amount of glyphosate cannot be innocent. The body has enough to deal with and is already easily overwhelmed as it is, with thousands of untested chemicals entering the market each year, not mentioning all the persistent pollutants that have been dangerously accumulating in the environment over the years and the other thousands of toxins we are exposed to at every single second of the day and night. 

Furthermore, it is a clear possibility that very soon animal feeds will contain GMO grains and not only will we consume a large amount of glyphosate through plants, but we will also be intoxicated further by consuming conventional meat. Conventional meat is already shown to be pro-inflammatory since animals have been forced to eat grains rather than grass. This type of meat is no longer rich in Omega-3s, as it should be. Instead, these essential fatty acids are replaced by pro-inflammatory Omega-6s, which studies show, contributes to disease in humans, including diabetes, obesity, other metabolic disorders, autoimmunity, and neurodegenerative disorders, which is exacerbated by the presence of large quantities of glyphosate in the diet.

Your plant-based diet will never be the same if you let this happen.

Sign this petition and make your MP an advocate against GMOs in the UK. You must press your local council to stand with you and to listen to your concerns, to make your voice heard.
