A few of genetically engineered food: 95% of all sugar beets, 94% of all soybeans, 88% of feed corn, 90% of all papaya in the US, 100% of all papaya in Hawaii, 90% of all cotton. A few of the animal species that have been genetically engineered but are not in production and have not been approved for sale. Salmon, pigs, goats, and cattle.
Organic is an all-natural selection process. GE-GMO foods have been genetically engineered to acquire certain favored traits as resistance to pesticides and herbicides, disease resistance, and more net production. Some GMO food plants produce their own pesticide. The lead producers of engineered seeds used to produce GM foods are the former mass producers of pesticides, and herbicides. Monsanto is one of the biggest producers of GMO foods, was the company that developed and manufactured agent orange.
Scientists have found a link between the increase of pesticides. Genetically modified soybeans saw an increase of 30% over none genetically modified soybeans. The use of genetically modified food is increasing the use of chemicals on our food leading to our own health risks. Europe has banned GM foods. America now requires labels on all GM food products. No one is policing it. Pesticide use is common among organic farms despite widely held belief. Both organic and conventional farms use pesticides, it is not possible to grow without pesticides.
Those "organic" foods may well have been genetically engineered to frow their own pesticides. There is no washing them clean. All foods treated with pesticides cannot be thoroughly washed clean. An apple for example can be peeled, that peel contains the bulk of minerals and fibers then the fruit itself. Fruits and vegetables treated with large amounts of pesticides are the following.
Strawberry, collard mustard greens, nectarines, spinach, apples, grapes, bell and hot peppers, pears, celery, and tomatoes.
