After years of resistance from advocacy groups as well as regulatory and pandemic-related delays, the first genetically engineered (i.e., GMO or bioengineered) salmon made its official debut in the American food supply last June. But the AquAdvantage Salmon hasn’t made much of a splash. In fact, it’s barely on the market, said Jaydee Hanson, policy director at the Center for Food Safety (CFS). Read more.
Get Informed on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
New U.S. Government Research is Finally Admitting that Glyphosate Weed Killer Causes Cancer
If you have already had something to eat today prior to reading this article, chances are very high that you have already ingested glyphosate, the active ingredient in herbicides such as RoundUp, the most widely used agrochemical in the world. Read more.
Global action: Stop genetically engineered trees
We have only a few days – until Jan 26 – to submit comments to the US Department of Agriculture rejecting their plan to allow the release of genetically engineered (GE) trees into wild forests in the US – and ultimately Canada. Read more.
Company Genetically Engineers Fruit Flies to be “Biofactories” for Fake Meat Production
The biotech company Future Fields has notified the Canadian authorities of its intention to commercialise EntoEngine, a genetically modified fly. The flies are engineered to produce foreign proteins – in this case, growth factors, which are cell signalling molecules that play important roles in cell proliferation and development, for use in what Future Fields calls “cellular agriculture” – what we call lab-grown or fake meat.

Bioengineered: What’s in a Name?
Organic Farmers Help Monarch Butterflies
Recently we announced in our Daily Digest some findings from yet another in a series of studies carried out by different groups of scientists over many years showing that the spread of GM glyphosate-tolerant crops is a major cause of the decline of monarch butterflies in the US. The glyphosate herbicide sprayed on these crops kills the milkweed that is the sole food for monarch larvae. Read more.
Reading Scientific Studies: With a Perspective on a Mock GE Study
To say that the understanding of GE technology is clear is arrogant. It is a complex challenge to understand the risks, performance, and costs of new developments, such as CRISPR. Market excitement, accompanied by profitable patents grab supersedes precaution and a thorough understanding of what is at stake is ignored or discarded. The argument of “safety” remains murky in the case of many GE crop technologies. Read more.
Got MilQ? Fake Milk to Replace Dairy and Breast Milk
The globalist technocrats are intent on monopolizing the entire food supply. They already have a monopoly on grains and have made headway in genetically engineered (GE) seafood. The next targets include lab-grown meats and dairy substitutes Biomilq, made from cultured breast tissue, will be marketed as a breast milk substitute. Read more.
Why Claims that Gene editing Doesn’t Involve Insertion of Foreign Genes or DNA are False
GM gene-edited organisms pose risks that are not confined to the presence of foreign DNA. And GM gene-edited plants and animals can and do contain foreign genetic material in their genomes, either by intention or inadvertently due to the imprecision and limitations of the gene editing process. Below are some of the ways that foreign DNA can get into the genomes of gene-edited GMOs. Read more.
U.S. threatens legal steps over Mexico’s planned GMO corn ban
The United States on Monday threatened legal action against Mexico’s plan to ban imports of genetically modified corn in 2024, saying it would cause huge economic losses and significantly impact bilateral trade. Read more.
