American farmers have reported that thousands of pigs they raised, after being fed genetically modified corn feed, were unable to reproduce; some pigs experienced pseudopregnancy and gave birth to bags of water. Studies in Haryana, India, have shown that most buffaloes that consumed genetically modified cotton seeds developed complications such as premature birth, miscarriage, infertility, and uterine prolapse. And in many **, there are no mice in the fields where genetically modified corn is grown, because they have all died. Terrible genetically modified organisms! This video is shocking! Please share this widely, for our own sake, for the sake of our descendants, and for the environment! http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjQ1Mzc5NTMy.html Sophia, a victim from South America: \"Before getting poisoned, we were a happy family; we had our own plants and fruit trees. But now we’ve lost everything, including my brother.\" A doctor told me that I couldn’t have children, not for at least 10 years; otherwise the babies would be born with birth defects due to the poisoning. 」 「Greenpeace has warned countries to **strengthen research on the safety of genetically modified foods**, while calling for an immediate halt to the commercial approval and cultivation of any genetically modified crops. The forced promotion of genetically modified staple crops proves one thing: the destruction of China and its people is not a mere speculative idea, but a harsh reality – someone is systematically, comprehensively, thoroughly, and methodically destroying this nation, aiming to eradicate it; they are simply acting in a way that seems to go against their own principles, hiding their actions behind pretenses. I was shocked to hear that **secretly safety certificates were issued for genetically modified rice and corn, allowing their large-scale cultivation. The arrival of this news was like a thunderbolt to the head. With the approval for the cultivation of genetically modified staple crops, the Chinese nation faces two critical tests that have life-or-death implications: The first test is the unknown safety of genetically modified foods; this safety relates to the reliability of the foods themselves, as well as the potential aggressiveness and destructiveness of genetic modification technology. Currently, worldwide, the United States itself (where the use of genetically modified staple crops is opposed) and various European countries all oppose the widespread use of genetically modified foods, arguing that there is insufficient guarantee of safety. China is the first major country outside the United States to allow the large-scale cultivation of genetically modified staple crops. The 1.4 billion people of the Chinese nation were used as lab rats for experiments. The second challenge is the issue of food security. Throughout history, in all the dynasties of China, food production has always been the most crucial issue for **stable development. As long as the common people have enough to eat, they will not rebel. I am a farmer from China, and I deeply understand what stable food production means. As long as I can remember, for most years our family has chosen the best crops grown from the land available in that season to use as seeds for the following season, and it has been done this way ever since. I think that in China, from ancient times to the present, the method of selecting seeds for grain production has remained essentially unchanged. A seed selection method that has been passed down for thousands of years was finally destroyed in recent years. The seeds of our main crops, such as cotton and soybeans, have now come to rely solely on the so-called improved varieties developed by American seed companies in China. And these seeds will never be effective for planting for more than three years. Production basically ceased three years later. As a result, China’s crop seeds are about to become entirely dependent on foreign companies for supply. Anyone with even a hint of intelligence, a hint of brainpower, and a hint of normal thinking ability would not agree that we are **faced with such a situation. Should a confrontation between China and the United States occur and the other side cease to supply seeds, China would face a complete shortage of food, leading to widespread suffering. All Chinese people with a brain, whether you’re left-leaning or right-leaning, please use your common sense: in the future, those who are destroyed by genetic attacks will include your family and your descendants as well! All those in positions of power, whether you are honest or corrupt, please use some common sense: once food is under control, everything you possess will be taken away from you! For ourselves, our families, and future generations; for the right to survive of you, me, him, and her, as well as for this right to independence that still exists at present, please make use of your influence. Drive away from Chinese soil those genetically modified staple foods that big American corporations intend to use to control all of humanity!

So, I’ve posted the text compiled by the author here (the address of the text is http://emuch.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=3135218&fpage=0&view=&highlight=&page=2). I hope we can all pay attention to genetically modified foods together. It’s really difficult these days to live safely
