Breaking: Is the USDA Silencing Scientists on GMO Truths?!

Posted by | Nov 3, 2015 | ,

By Brandon Keim Is the USDA Silencing Scientists? Late last year, Jonathan Lundgren, a South Dakota-based entomologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, submitted an article to the scientific journalNaturwissenschaften.

Big Props to Chipotle Mexican Grill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMfSGt6rHos You can’t seem to look at the headlines without seeing NON GMO Chipotle Mexican Grille’s outbreak of E. coli, which has thus far affected 22 people. Thankfully none have died and we hope they all make a full recovery soon. Unlike most fast food chains, where this inevitably happens, Chipotle Grill jumped into action closing their locations in Washington and Oregon, until they could figure out the problem. Simply stated? They handled the situation like a boss. We did a little digging and looked back at other E. coli outbreaks amongst fast food restaurant...
