More news from Europe on GM food, while Italy is to ban Monsanto's GM maize grown in the country. This came shortly after Monsanto abandoned its attempt to adopt GM crops in Europe. Because of the tough European opposition and a lot of activism, Monsanto is having a very difficult time in recent times, harder than we've ever seen. It is one of the many signs that illustrate our ability to impact everyone and start creating change on this planet, step by step. It is clear what the masses and have more power than all the money that Monsanto is using to buy politicians and votes in his favor.

Not many GM crops approved in Europe at this time, in fact, only two. That includes maize MON810, which Italy is almost to prohibit. Three Italian ministries have signed a document that will ban the corn, citing environmental concerns. The decree has yet to be ratified, but it seems to be done. The ban was also signed by the ministries of health and the environment due to the harvest of transgenic maize has a very negative impact on biodiversity.

"Our agriculture is based on biological diversity, quality, and that we must continue to aspire to - The Ministry of Health and Environment

The response of the European Commission was as follows:

The commission will consider the safeguard of Italy with more detail, and we have asked the European Food Safety Authority to evaluate the scientific basis for the decision - Frederic Vincent, spokesman for Health of the Committee

In Europe, any state that wishes to prohibit or establish safeguards against GMO cultivation is permitted to do so if they believe it presents a health or environmental risk. There is so much opposition to GMOs in Europe at this time that Monsanto gave the impetus to grow crops there, except the GM maize. Now in the U.S. grow all GM products and try to send it to Europe instead, polluting the environment and the people of the United States.

Since long, hopefully the ban may occur in North America, such as transgenic are banned worldwide in many countries. But in the U.S., do not even know which products contain GM foods are. Since the answer is "almost everything is in supermarkets," label products gives Monsanto a huge terror. At the end of the day, it comes down to making better life decisions.

Nearly 80 percent of Italians are in favor of a ban on GM foods, but the ban will only be valid for a period of 18 months. Let's see what happens after that. Five EU countries grew corn MON810 in 2012, but it is thought that very soon there will be a total ban of GMO products throughout Europe. It's nice to see so many steps forward in regards to GMOs lately. We will keep activism, and we will continue to share information, educate the masses and awaken the world!
