The American food supply is teeming with deadly pesticides.

The American food supply is teeming with deadly pesticides. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), headed by former Monsanto lawyer Tom Vilsack, says people shouldn't worry because pesticides are completely safe to eat!
The latest pesticide data released by the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) claims that most pesticide contamination on fresh fruit, vegetables, butter, and other food commodities is below the legal tolerance limits established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Only 23 of the 9,990 food samples tested, says the USDA, showed pesticide residues exceeding the established tolerance levels. Based on this, the agency is now claiming that the food supply doesn't pose a safety concern, and that consumers can eat up without worry.
But what the agency isn't divulging is that tolerance levels continually change as a result of corporate lobbying. As more pesticides are needed to grow genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) and other unnatural factory foods, more residues remain, thus the need for new limits.
Not only does the EPA continue to evaluate the safety of pesticides in isolation, ignoring the effects of synergistic, real-life exposures to many different pesticides, but the agency has also repeatedly succumbed to corporate lobbying pressures to up the safety limits for known hazardous pesticides.

@Rob Allen
Are pesticides safe to put on all your food?

What the hell!
Glyphosate is sprayed on wheat, soy and corn just before harvest. This,

1. Eliminates the extra step of killing weeds after the crop has been harvested
2. Causes the wheat (etc.) to produce even more seeds as it dies
3. Is geographically linked to the rapid rise in otherwise rare birth defects (anencephaly)
4. Statistically correlates with the rapid rise in Celiac Disease

There is no sane reason to ingest herbicides. This should not be a fact that Americans need to be woken up to.

Some farmers spray weed killers before harvesting wheat and Barley?

Reasons for treatment
Pre-harvest glyphosate application for cereals was introduced in the UK in 1980.
The potential benefits are:
to control weeds, notably perennials such as common couch (Elytrigia repens)
and annual weeds
to improve harvesting efficiency, ie as a harvest aid.
Not all cereal crops can be treated pre-harvest as some end-users impose
restrictions. As with any pesticide, treatment is only appropriate if clear agronomic
advantages can be demonstrated.
TAG and SAC reviewed both their own experimental results and other published
data on pre-harvest glyphosate use. This review focused on winter wheat in
England and Scotland and spring barley in Scotland.
Weed control
Pre-harvest use in both crops provided very effective perennial weed control and
also killed any annual weeds present. Perennial weeds are typically very
susceptible at this stage. A large amount of foliage intercepts the spray; then
rapidly-growing roots, or rhizomes, ‘draw down’ the herbicide. In suitable weather
conditions high levels of control were achieved.
Treatment eased harvest of weed-infested crops and was most effective when
weeds were growing rapidly in moist soil.

The Truth About Toxic Wheat
Posted: 11/19/2014
First, the advent of pre-harvesting with glyphosate has allowed us to eliminate the swathing step completely. Not having to swath our wheat saves us time, labor, and resources like fuel and trips in and out of the field. By pre-harvesting our wheat with glyphosate, we are able to simply use a combine to harvest it as we do with the rest of our crops. We also don't have to run or maintain two pieces of equipment; the combine does all the work. With swathing there is also a danger of the downed wheat sprouting, any time you lay grain on the ground; there is the chance of a heavy rain causing sprout damage in the windrow.

Is Pre-harvesting Wheat with Glyphosate Even Legal or Licensed?
As with any chemical we use on our farm, it has a label that gives us extensive information about how to use the chemical. This label is not simply a suggested use guide; it is indeed a federal and civil regulation under FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act) through the EPA.

Monsanto's superweeds & superbugs

The ecological, economic and agronomic disaster accompanying herbicide-tolerant transgenic crops is by now well known: over 10 million acres of superweeds resistant to Monsanto’s weedkiller, RoundUp; farm machinery breaking on RoundUp-resistant pigweed thick as a baseball bat; Monsanto paying farmers to spray their fields with competitors’ herbicides; a new generation of transgenic crops in the pipeline engineered to withstand older even more dangerous chemicals like 2,4-D.

I would say this is spam but i know Greg. Finds this and shares it with us.
I like pepsi and pizza for dinner. If he ever tries to prove either of those are bad i will take issue.
Dont mess with bananas either!

Sugarcane Is Sprayed With Glyphosate (RoundUp) To Ripen It - Video and Audio
WTF?

We’ve told you about genetically modified sugar beets and encouraged folks to eat sugarcane instead. Now, we are concerned about new information we discovered about a process designed to increase the profitability of sugarcane crops. We want to share this information with you.

Thanks to a listener who sent us a tip, we verified some surprising information in an interview with a researcher at the USDA. Sugarcane in Louisiana, Florida and other parts of the world are sprayed with the herbicide glyphosate (the active ingredient in RoundUp) before harvest to speed up the ripening process and increase its sweetness.
Some studies worldwide suggest there is no safe level of glyphosate. Glyphosate was not developed to be ingested by humans.
U.S. Sugar (the same entity developing genetically modified oranges through Southern Gardens Citrus) did not respond to our attempts to contact them to comment on this story.

Here’s what Caleb Dalley from the USDA Sugarcane Research Unit had to say:
Elizabeth Dougherty has been a food writer for over 10 years, attended culinary school and holds a Bachelor’s degree, Magna Cum Laude in Hospitality, Business and Labor Relations from NYIT. She has been a talk show host of nearly 200 episodes of Food Nation Radio which airs each Saturday morning at 8 on the Business Talk Radio Network (beginning June 1st 2013), Saturday afternoons at 4 on flagship WWBA AM820 News, and Sunday mornings at 8 on both WAMT AM1190 News and WIXC AM1060 News. You can read her articles and hear previous shows on her podcast page on the Food Nation Radio Network website and on Facebook.

GMO Food (Genetically Modified Organisms)
Most GMO Food and food sprayed with chemicals is designed to kill something.
The Bees make Royale Honey and only feed to the Queen Bee.
The Queen Bee lives for 5 years. All other Bees die in 40 days.
So the food you eat does do something to your body.
Buy and eat Organic Food...if you can.
