Muckraking under the radar & back into toxic history ~ tracking the politics, legislation, science and spin surrounding gmo foods since 1997. <3 NYC
Lesson from Operation Condor ~ Sept 11 Pinochet coup as our Moron In Chief gathers his merry band of pimps, profiteers & plunderers plotting fortunes the old fashioned way... slaughter of indigenous populations pillage & steal resources with reckless abandon for slave wages.. privatize profit dump wasted & socialize cost of ghastly scars on the landscape & toxic waste legacy, generational birth defects, illness & cancers. image
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt speech “Citizenship in a Republic” at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23, 1910... popularly known as “The Man in the Arena.” image
Name games cited as MAHA legal triumph but it's Biotech Mafia PR to replace all references to genetically modified GMO with ultraprocessed foods UPF to dilute awareness & erase evidence of the problem.. Only four tactics & can be used in combination.. delay, deny, destroy & buy. "In October, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a first-in-the-nation law to phase out certain ultraprocessed foods from school meals over the next decade. San Francisco's lawsuit cites several scientific studies on the negative impact of ultraprocessed foods on human health. “Mounting research now links these products to serious diseases—including Type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, heart disease, colorectal cancer, and even depression at younger ages," University of California, San Francisco, professor Kim Newell-Green said in the news release." https://web.archive.org/web/20251215064119/https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/california/articles/2025-12-02/san-francisco-sues-nations-top-food-manufacturers-over-ultraprocessed-foods image
*antimicrobial resistance (AMR) "Food production is a major source of bacterial AMR, as antibiotics used in agriculture and aquaculture often eclipse those in human medicine. Researchers estimated that, in the 2010s, around 70% of global antibiotic uses were in livestock, primarily in cattle, chicken and pigs. In agricultural crops, antibiotics are primarily used for growing rice. In contrast, antibiotic use in aquaculture is more evenly distributed across different species, including catfish, trout, tilapia, shrimp and salmon."
