Many Elementary School Children
at Risk of Elevated Pesticide Exposure
THE ORGANIC EFFECT
TESTING OF A FAMILY EATING REGULAR FOOD
WITH NUMEROUS PESTICIDES
AND
A FURTHER TEST WHEN THEY EAT ONLY ORGANIC - NON-GMO FOOD
YOU WILL BE SURPRISED !!
Monsanto’s marketing materials still proclaim its GE crops reduce the
need for pesticides, but usage has steadily and significantly risen
since the advent of GE seeds. The rapid emergence of resistant
superweeds have led the industry to invent crop seeds resistant to even
more toxic herbicides, such as 2,4-D and dicamba.
According to Dr. Medardo Ávila-Vázquez,7
a pediatrician and neonatologist at the Faculty of Medical Sciences at
the National University of Córdoba, glyphosate use in connection to GMO seeds is having a notably deleterious effect on the health of the local people, particularly children.
In light of the approval of these next-generation pesticides, it would
behoove us to take notice to such warnings, because our kids are also
becoming increasingly exposed. As reported by Global Research,8
children attending hundreds of elementary schools across the US are in
harm’s way as toxic weed killers are doused on nearby GE fields in ever
greater amounts:
“A new EWG interactive map shows the amounts of glyphosate sprayed in each US county and tallies the 3,247 elementary schools that are located within 1,000 feet of a corn or soybean field and the 487 schools that are within 200 feet. Click on any county on the map to see how much GMO corn and soy acreage has increased there as well as the number of nearby elementary schools.”
You will see that several states are outlined. This is where the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the use of Dow
AgroSciences’ Enlist Duo. This new herbicide, which is a mix of
glyphosate and 2,4-D, will be used on a new generation of GE corn and
soybeans engineered to withstand both of these toxins. Many of these
states are already heavily sprayed with Roundup, and with the
introduction of Enlist Duo, children who go to school near these farm
fields may be exposed to greater risks than ever before.
THIS IS A CHART SHOWING ESTIMATED USE OF GLYPHOSATE (2000-2012 )
THE "INTERACTIVE MAP" SHOWS THE VARIOUS COLORS ON THE CHART
AND ON THE MAP, STATE BY STATE.. SO YOU CAN DETERMINE THE TOTAL
ESTIMATED USE OF GLYPHOSATE IN YOUR AREA.

PERSONAL INSERTED NOTE:
BEWARE !! USE CAUTION !!
ALONG PUBLIC WALK WAYS - STREETS - HIGHWAYS - THEY HAVE BEEN SPRAYING
WEED KILLER.... AND IF YOU WALK IN THOSE GRASSY AREAS.. YOU ARE NOW
"EXPOSED" TO WEED KILLER ( ROUNDUP ETC) AND SO ARE YOUR PETS. jbs-05-26-2015
