Chinese Army Bans All GMO Grains and Oils

The Chinese army this month began ordering all military supply stations to only allow the purchase of non-GMO grain and food, oil due to health and safety concerns regarding GMOs, according to Food Democracy Now! The decision is viewed as an important step toward the government’s anticipated ban on the import of all GMO grains and oilseeds within the next two years.
In 2013, China began rejecting shipments of corn made with GMOs.
“The army has established (an) excellent model for people of the whole nation: No GMO staple food and GMO food oil should enter the army food supply,” said Chen Yiwen, an advisor to the China Disaster Prevention Association’s Committee of Disaster History.

“The question is, what does the Chinese military know about GMOs and the negative impact of Roundup that the U.S. government is not telling us?”
