GMOs and the Next Dust Bowl

1. GMO is Poison for our Soil
and Water
The Next Largest
Manmade Disaster

2. "desert" also had the connotation of
"unfit for farming".
the area's relative lack of water and wood made it seem unfit for farming and
uninhabitable by an agriculturally-based people.
Zebulon Pike wrote "these vast plains of the western hemisphere, may
become in time equally celebrated as the sandy deserts of Africa".
In 1823, Edwin James wrote of the region:
I do not hesitate in giving the opinion, that it is almost wholly unfit for
cultivation, and of course, uninhabitable by a people depending upon
agriculture for their subsistence.
"Innumerable Herds of Buffaloes", which was written on Pike's map just above
"not a stick of timber". The giant herds and teeming wildlife of the Great Plains
were well known by the time the term Great American Desert came into
common use, undermining the idea of a wasteland

3. The Dust Bowl Worst Manmade Disaster
severe drought
Poor farming practices
No crop rotation
Mono-crops
Poor Soil Care
Rapid mechanization of farm implements
than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year) to cultivated cropland
Caused "black blizzards" or "black rollers" – reached such East Coast cities as
New York City and Washington, D.C. and often reduced visibility to a meter
(about a yard) or less.
The drought and erosion of the Dust Bowl affected 100,000,000 acres
(400,000 km2) that centered on the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma and
touched adjacent sections of New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas.

4. •14 percent of all Ogallala irrigation wells
tested contained one pesticide or more.
• Most common was Atrazine, herbicide,
used cornfields
•known hormone disruptor
• retarding fetal development.
•5 percent wells contained nitrate levels
excess of EPA safety standards
•Excess nitrate levels in drinking water can
impair the blood’s ability to deliver oxygen
in infants, causing “blue baby syndrome.”
•The aquifer is being wasted and polluted.
•thirsty crop that requires over 20 inches of
irrigation water
• polluted with pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers.
Replenished by half an inch a year.
We pump out over 30 times that amount.
•yields about 30 percent of the nation's
ground water used for irrigation.
•provides drinking water to 82 percent of
the people who live within the aquifer
boundary

5. The transition from biologically based to intensive,
chemical based agricultural production systems advanced in
North America and Europe soon after World War II
Chemical pesticides became widely available
•large-scale production enterprises
•utilize high-yielding crop varieties
•Monoculture
•short-term rotations
•Available with high inputs of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
“Green Revolution” of the 1960s and 1970s

6. Little emphasis is given to managing soil organic matter through
use of traditional …or organic soil amendments that are central
to maintaining the biological activity and inherent fertility of soils
in biologically based cropping systems.
By abandoning the biological management component,
many conventionally managed fields have experienced
severe disease, insect, and weed infestations
(Drinkwater et al., 1995)
serious declines in soil organic matter, nitrogen, and carbon
contents (Khan et al.,2007)
and alterations in the balance of beneficial and detrimental
biological activities due to drastic changes in soil and
rhizosphere microbial communities
(Dunfield and Germida, 2004)

1970s

7. First Study to Confirm Glyphosate Levels in Breast Milk of American Moms
Moms Across America and Sustainable Pulse found high levels in 30 percent of the
samples tested. This strongly suggests that glyphosate levels build up in your body over
time, despite claims to the contrary.
“Historians may look back and write about how willing we are to
sacrifice our children and jeopardize future generations with a
massive experiment that is based on false promises and flawed
science just to benefit the bottom line of a commercial
enterprise.” late 2012.
Don Huber, award-winning, international scientist and
professor emeritus of plant pathology at Purdue University.
Glyphosate has also been found in Americans' urine and drinking water.
found to be more than 10 times higher than those tested in the EU in 2013. This is
presumably due to the fact that the EU is now backing away from glyphosate usage
and GE crops, whereas the US ignorantly races full speed ahead.

8. Food Integrity about the dangers of GMOs and Glyphosate
(Roundup).
Glyphosate, which is the most widely used herbicide in the
world,
•many times more toxic than DDT
•a mineral chelator
•Herbicide
•patented antibiotic
•affects our human body as well as the environment and the
inherent dangers associated with this chronic toxin.

9. Glyphosate

10. Various animal studies have identified health
risks associated with GM food consumption,
including:
 Infertility
 Immune system compromise
 Accelerated aging
Altered genes associated with:
 cholesterol synthesis,
 insulin regulation,
 cell signaling,
 protein formation
Alterations in:
 liver, kidney, spleen and gut function

11. The approved GMs in the U.S. include:
Herbicide resistance
 Corn, soy, cotton, canola, rice, alfalfa, beet, flax
Insect resistance (Pesticide prod)
 Corn, cotton, potato, tomato
Sterile pollen (Terminator Tech)
 Corn, chicory
Virus resistance
 Papaya, squash, plum
Delayed ripening
 Tomato
Altered oil
 Canola, soy
Protein composition
 Corn
Reduced nicotine tobacco
Banana vaccines
People may soon be getting
vaccinated for diseases like hepatitis B
and cholera by simply taking a bite of
banana.
Researchers have successfully
engineered:
bananas,
potatoes,
lettuce,
carrots
tobacco
to produce vaccines
When people eat a bite of a genetically
engineered banana, which is full of
virus proteins, their immune systems
build up antibodies to fight the disease
— just like a traditional vaccine

12. WATER
•It takes more than 2,400 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of
meat
• while growing 1 pound of wheat only requires 25 gallons
• You save more water by not eating a pound of meat than you do by
not showering for six months!
•A totally vegan diet requires only 300 gallons of water per day,
• a typical meat-eating diet requires more than 4,000 gallons of water
per day.
LAND
•raising animals for food now uses 30 percent of the
Earth's land mass
• More than 260 million acres of U.S. forest have been
cleared to create cropland to grow grain to feed farmed
animals
•leads to soil erosion and eventual desertification that
renders once-fertile land barren.
ANIMALS for
FOOD

13. MEAT INDUSTRY IS SUBSIDIZED
With out government help:
Hamburger = $90 per lb
Takes 13 lbs of grain to
produce 1 lb meat

14. WASTE & EXCREMENT
•The EPA reports that chicken, hog, and cattle excrement
has polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and
contaminated groundwater in 17 states.
•scientists have discovered that male fish are growing
ovaries, and they suspect that this deformity is the result of
factory farm runoff from drug-laden chicken feces
•massive amounts of feces, fish carcasses, and antibiotic-
laced fish food ,contribute to water pollution
FOOD
•more than 70 percent of the grain and cereals that
we grow in this country are fed to farmed animals
•It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1
pound of meat
• fish on fish farms must be fed up to 5 pounds of
wild-caught fish to produce 1 pound of farmed fish
flesh.

FOOD

15. Concentrated (or Confined)
Animal Feeding Operations
(CAFOs)•Animals in factory farms are confined indoors, with minimal
room
•no access to sunlight and fresh air.
• Animals are mutilated to adapt them to factory farm
conditions.
•cutting off the beaks of chickens and turkeys (de-beaking)
• amputating the tails of cows and pigs (docking).
•70 percent of all antibiotics used in the United States are
regularly added to the feed of livestock and poultry that are
not sick
•Bacteria that are constantly exposed to antibiotics develop
antibiotic resistance
•animals are fed hormones and antibiotics to promote faster
growth.

16. How Do Genes Work “Maybe”
They make proteins.
In fact, each gene is really just a recipe for a making a certain protein.
more of the estimated 100,000 different proteins that your body makes.
But the genes in your DNA don't make protein directly.
DNA is used to make RNA, then RNA is used to make proteins
DNA sequences were surprised to find that less than 2% of human DNA
codes for proteins.
If 98% of our genetic information (or "genome") isn't coding for protein,
"junk DNA.“
But as more research is done, we are beginning to learn more about
the DNA between the genes-intergenic DNA.
Intergenic DNA seems to play a key role in regulation, that is, controlling
which genes are turned "on" or "off" at any given time.

17. So you take a bacteria,plant,animal
Get a protein
Use a virus or just shoot it into the DNA
snipping genes from
microbes, plants, and even
animals
splicing them into the plants
to create new traits:
herbicide or insect
resistance, drug transmition
GMO is also:
recombinant DNA (rDNA)
Transgenic
bioengineering

18. humans have approximately 24,000 genes
fruit flies have approximately 14,000 genes
Scientists refer to the total number of protein interactions in the body as the
"human interactome", likening it to the human genome, which is most
commonly associated with giving us our human traits.
"Understanding the human genome definitely does not go far enough
to explain what makes us different from more simple creatures. Our
study indicates that protein interactions could hold one of the keys to
unraveling how one organism is differentiated from another.“
Genes and Protein Production 2008 Imperial College
London
…protein interactions in their bodies, according to scientists who have
developed a new way of estimating the total number of interactions
between proteins in any organism

19. Epigenetics
genes can be turned on (expressed) or turned off (silenced)
…FDA-approved pharmaceutical drugs can
cause persistent epigenetic changes.
…pharmaceuticals may be involved
in the etiology of heart disease,
cancer, nerve and mental
disorders, obesity, diabetes,
leukemia, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, infertility, and
sexual dysfunction.
…"consequences for modern
medicine are profound, since it
would imply that our current
understanding of pharmacology is
an oversimplification." [Metabolism Clinical and Experimental
57: (2008) S16–S23]

GMO is abnormal untested proteins

22. Animal studies:
 showing organ damage,
 gastrointestinal and immune system disorders,
 accelerated aging,
 and infertility.
Human studies
 show GMO can leave material behind, possibly causing long-term
problems.
 Genes inserted into GM soy, for example, can transfer into the DNA of
bacteria living inside us,
 and that the toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found in the
blood of pregnant women and their unborn fetuses

32. UN SAYS EAT LESS MEAT TO CURB GLOBAL
WARMING
People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal
and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world's
leading authority on global warming
The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated that meat
production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions.
These are generated during the production of animal feeds, for example, while
ruminants, particularly cows, emit methane, which is 23 times more effective as
a global warming agent than carbon dioxide. The agency has also warned that
meat consumption is set to double by the middle of the century.
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize,
