#7 Mexico Plans to Modify its Constitution to Ban Toxic US Genetically Modified Corn - Tracy Beanz & Michelle Edwards for THe HighWire, Carey Gillam, and US Right to Know on X

The typical American diet, which is quite literally killing us, is packed with processed foods, toxic chemicals, added sugars, and fast foods void of nutritional value. For far too long, government agencies have put profit over people and turned a blind eye to the foods and toxins they encourage Americans to consume. One such tainted food product and poison is genetically modified (GM) corn and glyphosate. Corn, one of the most commonly grown grains in the world, is a staple food for one-third of the human population and is prominent in many American diets. In 2024, GMO corn accounted for nearly 94 percent of the corn planted in the US, occupying over 86 million acres.

Chicago residents called out Mayor Brandon Johnson at a City Council meeting Monday for spending over half a billion dollars of the city’s budget on sheltering migrants.

In an attempt to fill the gap, Johnson proposed a roughly $60 million property tax increase at the City Council meeting. Residents wasted little time in responding...
