American Soldiers Consuming Meals Below USDA Standards With Dangerous Levels of Primarily Chinese Pesticides Related to GMO Foods Banned by China and Russia Militaries

Experts Offer President Trump a Roadmap to Ensure America Leads the World in Providing its Military with Healthy American Food for American Soldiers 

New, independent laboratory testing commissioned by Moms Across America, with the support of  Children’s Health Defense Military Chapter and Centner Academy reveal that U.S. military food, including Meals, Ready to Eat (MREs) and other rationed and cafeteria items, have extremely low levels of nutrients and are contaminated with a mixture of toxic pesticides, banned veterinary drugs, heavy metals, and glyphosate at levels that pose serious threats to human health. The groups also provide a step-by-step course correction for the President to ensure American soldiers are given the healthiest American-made food in the world.

Moms Across America was motivated to test military food after learning that China does not feed its military GMOs and Russia does not allow GMOs into its country. 

“We applaud President Trump’s commitment to increasing the budget of the military to ensure Americans are safe and creating the most powerful military in the world,” said Zen Honeycutt, Founding Executive Director of Moms Across America. “As our nation’s Commander in Chief, we call on him to be a true hero by ensuring our global power by providing the safest and healthiest meals of any military in the world. We are calling for American troops to have American food - regeneratively raised meat and non-toxic, nutrient-dense produce grown by American farmers.”

Summary Points:

• 40 samples -16 samples from 6 military base cafeterias and 24 MREs were tested for toxins and nutrients. The samples contained ingredients such as wheat, corn, soy, and meat likely grown, raised, or imported during the Biden Administration.
• 100% of the pesticides found in 100% of military food samples tested are produced in China and other countries, with 65% produced solely or mainly in China.
• 95% of military food tested contained harmful levels of glyphosate - a carcinogen, endocrine disruptor, and chelator of nutrients - 85.7% of companies that produce glyphosate are China-owned. 80% of GMOs, such as soy, corn, canola, and sugar beets, are engineered to withstand glyphosate. Glyphosate is also used as a drying agent on many non-organic crops used in military food ingredients.
• The presence of harmful, banned veterinary drugs in meat suggests that imports must be stopped.
• High levels of heavy metals - up to 17,000 times higher than EPA standards for drinking water were present.
• The PFOS level detected in a military food sample was approximately 30 times higher than the EPA’s drinking water standard.
• American troops deserve American Food- regeneratively grazed, non-toxic, nutrient-dense food grown by American farmers!
• Preliminary research shows that the Department of War could support the transition to regenerative and organic farming practices and feed the US military and American school children with regenerative organic food for less than 2% of its 1.5 trillion-dollar budget.

“As a veteran, I understand the extreme physical and mental demands placed on service members to remain mission-ready,” said Charlene Guzman, Strategic Communications and Public Relations Lead at the Non-GMO Project, former USDA contractor and veteran;

"What is concerning is that the food provided to many troops does not consistently support their health, resilience, or long-term well-being. Access to clean, nourishing food is a foundational form  of care and an important way we can honor our service members daily.”

Moms Across America calls on the Trump Administration to provide the world’s greatest military with the highest-quality American food and provides a few steps to help the President make the course correction. Doing so would provide national homeland security assurance for generations to come. Those steps include: Adjusting the DoW budget to prioritize sourcing meat from American regenerative ranchers, supporting transitioning to regenerative, organically grown farming practices to provide non-toxic, nutrient-dense American-grown produce to the US Military and school children, testing current meat and food supplies for harmful chemicals and identifying the source of contamination.
