La revisión de la Prop. 65 de la EPA de CA hace que las empresas se vuelvan específicas sobre los químicos cancerígenos
agosto 30 , 2018- Mission Viejo. Moms Across America applauds the decision by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CA EPA). Today is the day that the long-awaited changes go into effect for companies, manufacturers, and any responsible parties in the supply chain of exposing the public to harmful chemicals. From this day forward anyone exposing the public to chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm in California must have warnings in place as follows or face a $2,500 fine per day, per violation.
Zen Honeycutt, de Mom Across America, declaró: “Estamos encantados de que las empresas ahora tengan que indicar específicamente, por nombre, a qué producto químico están expuestas. El público tiene derecho a saber. Sin embargo, estamos indignados de que el glifosato, que está en la lista de Prop 65 y se rocía en nuestros alimentos y alrededor de nuestras escuelas y parques, no se incluirá porque Monsanto demandó a la EPA de California para detener El etiquetado. Esto es una injusticia para el público estadounidense que debe corregirse de inmediato ”. Los herbicidas de glifosato fueron objeto de una demanda reciente en la que el demandante Dwayne Lee Johnson recibió 289.2 millones de dólares de Monsanto por la causa de su linfoma no Hodgkin, a la que estuvo expuesto mientras usaba equipo de protección como aplicador de pesticidas en la escuela
De acuerdo con 30 años de la política de la EPA, normalmente el glifosato, que se incluyó en la lista de Prop 65 en 2017, se incluiría en este reglamento. Todos los productos, como Roundup que se venden en Home Depot, tendrían que llevar esta advertencia hoy. Todos los aplicadores de pesticidas necesitarían ser informados de que estaban usando productos que causan cáncer, y todos los agricultores verían etiquetas de advertencia en sus compras a granel de herbicidas de glifosato que rocían en nuestros cultivos alimentarios. Sin embargo, Monsanto demandó a la EPA de California y el juez les otorgó una orden judicial temporal que detuvo el etiquetado de los herbicidas de glifosato. Su razonamiento fue que Monsanto tenía derecho a la "libertad de expresión", lo que significa que ellos y los otros clientes en la demanda, como la Asociación de Productores de Trigo, tenían derecho a no hablar sobre si sus productos o ingredientes alimenticios contenían un probable carcinógeno. No importa que también tengan el libre albedrío para fabricar o usar una sustancia química que expone al público sin saberlo a un carcinógeno.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Three nonprofit groups today jointly announced that they have resolved a consumer-protection action filed by the groups against General Mills on agosto 24, 2016, concerning General Mills’ labeling of its Nature Valley Granola Bars as “Made with 100% Natural Whole Grain Oats.” A copy of the Complaint is available at: |
Is Monsanto's Glyphosate Connected to Red Tide and Marine Life Losses?
Dr. Stephanie Seneff, MIT scientist and glyphosate expert answers questions from Zen Honeycutt...
Seneff: It's very straightforward. The so-called blue-green "algae" are actually not algae but rather a type of primitive bacteria called "cyanobacteria." They have a special skill that is rare among all species to be able to fully metabolize glyphosate and use its phosphorus atom as a source of phosphorus. So they obtain a competitive advantage against other species in the presence of chronic glyphosate exposure.
There are a lot of sugar cane fields surrounding Lake Okeechobee in Central Florida, and they are being sprayed with glyphosate before harvest as a desiccant. There's also lots of glyphosate being used on those well-manicured lawns of multi-million dollar homes.
Monsanto Rep Says Roundup is Safer than Vinegar or Vitamin D3
Mom and daughter team reveals Monsanto's lies!
agosto 16, 2018 - Today Mckenzie Feldman sent me this video, which she filmed at the Hawaii State Farm Fair http://www.hawaiistatefarmfair.org in 2015. Her mother, the woman speaking in the film, fearlessly asks the Monsanto employee about his perspective on the use of Roundup. We applaud the courage it took to make this film and we acknowledge this dynamic mother-daughter team! Way to go!
We would like to add that this employee, not to excuse his choices but to put it into perspective, simply believed what his employer told him. We know there are thousands of people who work at Monsanto, many of them good people who want to provide for their families, that have been just as hoodwinked as the rest of us. This does not excuse the behavior of misleading the public, however. We ask that anyone who works at any company be responsible for having a job which contributes to the safety of our planet instead of polluting it. If your company is poisoning people, find another job! Be creative and do what inspires you!

Oxford Connecticut Retires Roundup and Goes Organic
Northeast Horticultural Services Chosen to Manage Organic Vegetation Control
STRATFORD, CT, agosto 11, 2018 – Oxford, CT residents can breathe a sigh of relief. Glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup, Rodeo and Ranger Pro will no longer be sprayed in their park and on their sidewalks. These carcinogenic herbicides are currently the hot topic in legal circles- the Johnson v Monsanto trial verdict was just announced yesterday and glyphosate herbicide manufacturer Monsanto was found guilty and fined 289.2 million dollars for failing to label their product as a carcinogen and for malice- intentionally covering up that they knew their product was carcinogenic. The plaintiff, Dwayne “Lee” Johnson a school pesticide applicator, used Roundup and Rodeo, had a few accidents, and despite wearing protective gear, he was exposed to the chemicals. He now has Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and tumors on 80% of his body. Lee has a wife and two children and is not expected, by his doctors, to live longer than two years.
The Beginning of The END of the Chemical Era
GREAT, AMAZING, FANTASTIC, WONDROUS NEWS!
Dewayne "Lee" Johnson, a school pesticide applicator with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, WINS his lawsuit against Monsanto! The jury (God Bless them) awarded Johnson 289.2 million dollars! 4000 other plaintiffs are waiting to sue Monsanto and 10,0000 are expected by the end of the year. Surely this decision has Bayer, who now owns Monsanto, reconsidering whether or not to continue to sell glyphosate-based products.
This is a huge win for humanity! Corporations around the world now get that they must take responsibility for the impact of their products!
Watch the verdict here:
US Court demands that the EPA must ban chlorpyrifos in 60 days! Chlorpyrifos, a chemical sprayed on food crops, is a known neurotoxin, especially to children, and was supposed to be banned last year. But the ban was revoked by the current administration. Coincidentally, the ban dismissal was enacted after Trump held a meeting with the CEO of Dow, the manufacturers of the chemical, who gave a 1.2 million dollar donation to his campaign. At Moms Across America, we believe that no matter who we vote for, what our political inclinations are, that every public figure has a responsibility to protect our children. This behavior is reprehensible, and we are glad that the courts have the power to reverse that decision and reinstate the ban. We simply cannot allow big business to harm our little kids.

Johnson's lawyer's slides here.
Also, in the news is Monsanto on trial and Robert F. Kennedy Jr - one of the lawyers suing Monsanto for the link to Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Watch his stellar interview here.
We are so glad he addressed all the health issues we moms have been talking about for years now - and that the media is covering this issue!!!!
Lee masMonsanto Trial Closing Statements
Yesterday was a fascinating, infuriating, inspiring, and extremely complicated day. The closing statements of the Johnson v Monsanto trial were the lawyers final chance to persuade the jury to either hold Monsanto accountable for not labeling their product as a carcinogen ( leading to John's non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma) or believe the chemical company when they say their products are safe. Watch the NBC news coverage which includes Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America!
In the packed San Franciso courtroom, Johnson's lawyer, Brent Wisner did an excellent job of showing that:
- Monsanto's Roundup and RangerPro can promote cancer and cause tumor growth.
- Monsanto knew this well before Johnson called them to ask if exposure could be connected to his lesions...and yet the doctor responsible failed to return his call.
- Monsanto failed to warn consumers with label or safety precautions.

Lee masNew Studies EPA Must Consider in Glyphosate Review
The EPA still has yet to deliver their decision on whether to renew glyphosate for another 15 years or revoke its license. They have been "reviewing" glyphosate for over 10 years.
We continue to remind the EPA of their responsibility to include real science and to protect people and animals, not the profits of the corporations. Here is a recent letter to the EPA. Feel free to use the links to tell your local officials that they need to discontinue the use of glyphosate herbicides.
Dear EPA Pesticide Review Board,
In light of recent studies, we are looking forward to your review of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) resulting in the refusal of the license of glyphosate.

Los surcoreanos colaboran con grupos de Japón y EE. UU. Para aumentar la conciencia sobre los riesgos para la salud de los transgénicos
Por Zen Honeycutt, Mamás en todo Estados Unidos
julio 19, 2018 in Seoul, South Korea, for the first time, South Koreans hosted a Tri-Lateral Korea-US-Japan Symposium on the Consumer Right to Know GMO Labeling System. Over 200 gathered, including grassroots leaders, professors, food producers, concerned citizens, and National Assemblymen to discuss the health risks of GMOs and GMO labeling. South Korea has good reason to be concerned, they are the world’s largest importer of GMOs for human consumption and the health conditions of their citizens are skyrocketing.
South Korea has the highest recorded rates of pervasive developmental delays in the world. South Korea’s rates of autism are also extremely high, the last reported rates were 2 X higher than US autism rates in 2012. The rates of both autism and pervasive development delays correlate with the high amounts of agrochemicals used per unit in the relatively small countries of Japan and South Korea. The ingestion of chemicals due to agrochemical farming has not been of concern for the past two decades, but speakers at the conference discussed studies released over the past 5 years that show serious harm from GMOs and the most widely used glyphosate herbicides in the world. 80% of GMOs are engineered to withstand Monsanto’s flagship Roundup product (glyphosate herbicide), which is now used generically in over 750 brands around the world and has been linked to cancer, liver disease, y many health risks. The destruction of gut bacteria, which glyphosate has been shown to cause, has been linked to autism-like symptoms in rats. Reproductive changes due to the hormonal impact of glyphosate can also lead to developmental delays. New studies showing glyphosate herbicides' impact on the second generation of female rats, impacting fertility, point to great concern regarding the possible link to Korea's low birth rate as well.
Impossible Burger: la tina es donde está
Artículo de Kathleen Furey
Llamamiento milenario
Millennials que han visto Cowspiracy, o son conscientes de la salud y están motivados para explorar un estilo de vida vegetariano o vegano, tienen como objetivo salvar el planeta comiendo este alimento de "bajo impacto". Diseñado para convertir a los consumidores de carne en un "a base de plantas" I hamburguesa, ahora se puede pedir como alternativa a la carne en restaurantes de muchas ciudades de los EE. UU. Pero, ¿de qué está hecha The Impossible Burger?
En ninguna parte afirman que los ingredientes de Impossible Burger estén certificados como orgánicos por el USDA. Un vistazo a la lista de ingredientes del paquete Impossible Burger le dice a cualquier comensal bien educado por qué: trigo, proteínas de patata, aceite de coco, "otros nutrientes", sabores naturales y 2% o menos de los siguientes: leghemoglobina (soja), extracto de levadura, sal, aislado de proteína de soja, goma konjac, goma xantana, tiamina (vitamina B1 ), zinc, niacina, vitamina B6, riboflavina (vitamina B2) y vitamina B12. Muchos ingredientes, como la soja, las papas y varios otros, se manipulan genéticamente (OGM) en un laboratorio. Los productos alimenticios transgénicos en los EE. UU. Hoy en día no requieren una etiqueta en el paquete para identificarlos.
