We recognize that our focus on this podcast may or may not align with your personal perspectives on genetic modification and the use of chemical inputs (such as glyphosate and dicamba) in agriculture production. With our mission of building profitable and sustainable farms, we present today's podcast with the hope that we can consider the long-term impact of this technology on the health and productivity of our worldwide community.
We encourage folks to do their own research regarding the wide range of topics discussed in today's episode. We’re not providing medical advice regarding any disease or condition; we strongly encourage our listeners to consult with health professionals for specific diagnosis and treatments.
Today on the podcast we’re hosting special guest Jeffrey Smith, American consumer activist, self-published author, and former politician. Jeffrey is the author of two books on genetically engineered foods, Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating, and Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives, which he made into a film in 2012. He focuses on advocating against GMOs and pesticides, exposing the dangers they bring to humanity. This info-packed episode details how proper health and nutrition sustains life and the modern day trends that create disease, as well as potential cataclysmic disasters we may face due to genetically engineered microbes.

alarm about the serious, even irreversible hazards from new genetic
engineering techniques, which can lead to health and environmental
catastrophes.He and the Institute for Responsible Technology, which
he founded, are now sounding the alarm about the serious and
potentially irreversible hazards from new genetic engineering

50 coalition organizations worldwide, recognizes that genetically
altering microbes can cause unprecedented health problems and
collapse ecosystems. They therefore call on government leaders to
prevent all releases of genetically engineered microbes.
