Video Transcript: Are You Unknowingly Eating GMOs From These Hidden Sources?
Ty Bollinger: Genetically modified grains are being eaten by these cows, these chickens, and these animals that are then concentrated in the animals, and we eat their meat. I interviewed Jeffrey Smith, the man that’s probably the most well known anti-GMO researcher about the GMOs. And that’s one of the things he mentioned. The animals are eating these. So we not only have to watch out for the genetically modified corn, and soy, and cottonseed, and all these other crops. We have to watch out for the cows and the chickens that ate them.
Dr. Ben Johnson: Absolutely.
Ty Bollinger: Because we might be eating an organic produce diet. But if you eat meats that are not fed organic grains or grass, then you could be getting GMO secretly – the back door. And not even know about it.
Dr. Ben Johnson: We are all getting GMOs. It’s like when I go to get some corn chips. I go and buy the one that says non-GMO and organic. Marketing is so deceptive. You know, it’ll say organic. Well, but its GMO. Or it’ll say non-GMO, but it was not organic so….
Ty Bollinger: You want the non-GMO project verified and organic together.
Dr. Ben Johnson: Yeah, you want them both.
Ty Bollinger: Right.
Dr. Ben Johnson: Because both are required for a healthy food.
Ty Bollinger: Right, it is amazing the deception that they’re allowed to—
Dr. Ben Johnson: Everything is, this society is so deceptive. And it’s just about money, and profit, and sales. And, we’ve lost the integrity in it all.
Ty Bollinger: It reminds me. We’re here in California. One of the popular arguments that I heard a couple years ago when they were trying to pass Prop 37 to label GMOs was that we can’t force companies to label because it would be deceptive labeling. I remember hearing that. I am like, how is that deceptive to tell us what’s genetically modified or not? But the argument against labeling was that that would be deceptive.
Dr. Ben Johnson: As part of the people that are orchestrating all this are brilliant masterminds of deception. So they did that double-speak. And what it did was immediately confuse people. And they go – it is kind of staggering mentally to hear that phrase.
Ty Bollinger: Yeah.
Dr. Ben Johnson: And you go like what? And it creates confusion. And so, these pharmaceutical corporations, Monsa [Monstanto] – all these big groups, they actually have disinformation centers where they have writers creating disinformation to create doubt in people’s minds about health foods and nutrition, vitamins and things, so that it just creates confusion. And people just kinda go like, oh, you know. And they just kind of can’t make… decision paralysis.
Ty Bollinger: Yeah, cognitive dissonance as well. And I guess they turn off. And then they say “okay, well let’s go to the expert.”

I feel that I do not even know what to put in my mouth anymore. God knows how much toxic chemicals that I have been exposed to with all the food that I have eaten. I do not even know in a supermarket, when they say that a food is organic that they are telling the truth.
Ty, I really enjoy hearing from you and all your experts (even though sometimes their vernacular is not of “expert” quality). However, it seems the “truthful good health industry” often misses the real point in how to get better quality food stuffs into our grocery stores and home to our families. That point is the consumer. If several women who wanted better quality of food, from non-meats to plant edibles, went to a grocery store and talked to the manager about what they wanted in their food stuffs, things would change. And for those men that do the grocery shopping the same goes for you. For many years I worked in the food and beverage industry, and purveyors of fresh organic vegetables mostly but sometimes even ranchers who raised organic grass fed beef, would come to the chef of a restaurant and talk with him about the quality of the product he raised. He would always have a sample of what he was selling. The chef would look at it, taste it, cook it and eat it right there in front of him/her. If he liked it he would buy it if it was the right price. Buy it right on the spot! If you are a chef with a reputation you have the power of the check book to a limited degree. If you are a part owner and the chef you have full power of the check book. My point is, if chef’s are willing to purchase meat and vegetables, spices and herbs from organic purveyors (yes, you need to be certified…or should be) then why are the millions of people who do the grocery shopping not talking to the managers of these grocery stores telling them what they want and what they will do if they do not get it. A case in point: I am currently on a rant about BPA interior linings in cans. 99 per cent of cans have BPA linings and BPA is known as a probable to certain carcinogen and hormone disrupter. Getting cans without BPA in the lining is a no brainer as the technology has existed for at least 75 years. Some producers of food stuffs (those with a sense of ethics and morality) have already returned to non-BPA cans and many imported cans from Europe especially, do not have BPA linings. If the manager of the food store will not listen or gives me some lame excuse (I always demand a letter from corporate offices and if none is forthcoming then I write the corporate office with the name of the store and its manager) then I tell him I will educate the grocery shopper in the aisles, one person at a time with examples of a BPA lined can and a non-BPA can. If we did this en masse then the BPA cans would disappear and eventually the price of “normal” lined cans would come down as re-tooling of production hit stasis. The consumer always has the power to determine an alternate outcome. There is safety and effectiveness in numbers so take some friends to address your concerns with the manager of the store and at reasonable times, return and ask about his progress. If he won’t do anything then leave your shopping cart at his office door and walk out. It may be a symbolic gesture but it is effective. It may not let you shop somewhere else but your voice will be heard and you, as a consumer, can always write about it to a magazine or letter to a newspaper editor or the best…to your senators and congressmen and women at the state AND federal level. A few short, to the point sentences and ten minutes and 50 cents for postage and an envelope or an even cheaper phone call (repeated every month) is wonderful stress reducing therapy for the writer or caller. AND you are doing your family and fellow human beings a favor by being an advocate for consumer awareness and concern. If we do not advocate for our families and fellow human beings then we are part of the problem not part of the solution and NOTHING will change. If new avenues of vocal concern are not taken I can guarantee that too many consumers will be TRUMP-ed and continued to be misled, as you know happens all the time. I hope you, your family, your experts and your staff have a joyous Christmas (the ultimate advocate, wasn’t HE?) and continued good health. Thanks.
Dr. Johnson’s statement that the item may be organic but have GMOs is in error. Organic foods cannot contain GMOs. Having the second label (non-GMO verified) can be helpful because of any possibility of contamination, but I think his statement was misleading.
I have heard that too. But some of these big corps. still skirt the rules. There are a lot of certified organics I will not touch for that reason es: Horizon Dairy. The last round of Organic Valley eggs had very very light yolks-leaving wondering and after checking the Cornacopia site I just ordered another brand.
Things are getting so out of control w/ food! First if I have to use a bar code or jump through hoops to find out if a product is safe, then it is not. Lack of transparency or feeling confused about an item is the biggest and first red flag. I have a really uneasy feeling that stays with me 24/7: I so far have not been good at growing anything and I know in my gut, I have to start growing my own food. We all do.
I live in an area where I really get harassed for eating organic/non GMO. I am told form all angles that my health is bad for not eating GMOs that are good for me and that organic is not good for me. So in the time that I have been here I think that this area has been hit and brainwashed by the medical mafia as well as Monsanto cronies. There is a group of those somewhat like me that is very hidden on the fringes.
That is the issue: There are these huge centers all over packet w/ toxic garbage, in which society is brainwashed to think is food, when it’s not fit for consumption. I also disagree w/ the popular consensus the stuff tastes good. It does not.
Hello Family; Yes this is true, but we have eaten of the tree of knowledge and it is both good and bad at the same time. if you know something and you have Judged it to be bad and then you eat of it, yes it will be bad for you. My wife had diabetes and she would cheat sometimes on her diet then two beliefs come together and are in conflict within us. When we are conscious of what we are eating and then we Bless our food then the vibrational signature is changed and as Divine Alchemists we have changed the lesser into the higher. ( Lead to Gold). “By our words we are Exalted and by our words we are Condemned”. When we give energy to anything we increase it’s power, Put good in and get good out.
Just sharing out of Love. I am yourself called alan.
Thank you for everything you have given to us……received here in Johannesburg South Africa!
I am a certified organic farmer. Certified organic farms are NOT allowed to grow GMO crops on their farms. We also do NOT put any product containing GMO’s on the crops or land.
Certified organic processors making or packing organic products labeled “organic” on the front and containing the USDA or other verifying agency stamp must also follow the same rules.
Verified NonGMO Project label is a great tool for determining which non-organic conventionally farmed and processed products are GMO free especially foods that have GMO counterparts like corn or potatoes.
