t r u t h o u t | Haitian Farmers Commit to Burning Monsanto Hybrid Seeds
Funny, checked out the Monsanto site and they still talk about their gracious donation like it hadn't big publicly refused. Had not known of Mosanto until recently, but did some reading, looks like these guys go on the list of evil corporations.These the same guys that came up with Agent Orange.
Yes, Monsanto is a corrupt corporation trying to control the agriculture market. I did a presentation on modern foods and Monsanto was a big topic.
Monsanto has caused so many problems around the world. For example, India's rice and cotton markets have been infiltrated with political and legislative corporate scum to bring genetically modified seeds to the fields of India, and then since the seeds are Monsanto's, Monsanto's can claim the product is theirs! So thousands of farmers have commit suicide over the past 10 years! THOUSANDS! All because their lives/jobs have been ruined from Monsanto and there is just no other market to live off of.
Also, they are trying to patent the pig! No joke, look that shit up. They are trying to create pigs through science, and then patent them, so when ever anyone gets/wants pork, the money will end up going back to Monsantos because they would be the creators of the pig. Fucking crazy!:mad:
EDIT: Oh, and genetically modified seeds or "hybrid" seeds are very unstable and unreliable for multiple reasons, but one of the worst reasons is that GENETICALLY MODIFIED SEEDS DIMINISH THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD WE EAT TREMENDOUSLY! You would have to eat 2x to 3x as much to get the proper nutritional consumption.
hmm, are they behind the genetically modified seeds that made those worms that eat the cotton plants super powered and immune to the pesticide?Quote:

I am not sure about the worms that you mentioned.
But from what I understand from everything I have read, if the world's agricultural market falls to genetically modified foods, new food codes and laws, all the people starving in Africa, India, China and any where in the world, are going to be in great danger due to lack of nutrition, which unfortunately could be like some sort of population control..
Took a little bit of searching but finally managed to find it, yup it is Monsanto..
Latest Blow to GM Crops - Insects in India resistant to Bt Cotton | Food First/Institute for Food and Development Policy
Shit I have been reading lately is definitely pushing me back to Organic foods. Ate Organic (Ital) for about a lil over a decade then couple years back due to money and time constraints. Here is a little quote from the response section on one of these articles on GMOs..
and here are some of the effects seen in test animals..Quote:
Since the vast majority of processed foods contain GMO corn or soy, and since chicken and beef are fed GM corn, so that dairy and eggs come from animals raised on GM foods, and since even non-GM foods are often cooked in GM corn or soy oil, the only way to avoid regular exposure to GM foods in the US is to eat organic foods.
Quote:
Studies showed stunted growth, impaired immune systems, bleeding stomachs, abnormal and potentially pre-cancerous cell growth in the intestines, impaired blood cell development, misshaped cell structures in the liver, pancreas and testicles, altered gene expression and cell metabolism, liver and kidney lesions, partially atrophied livers, inflamed kidneys, less developed organs, reduced digestive enzymes, higher blood sugar, inflamed lung tissue, increased death rates and higher offspring mortality as well
Switching to organic foods is something that your body will appreciate. I used to not think about the foods I ate, and when the time would come to eat, I would eat what ever sounded best.
But now that I am aware of the food we eat and its quality, switching to whole foods and organics has made me feel much better than eating the cheap fast food or even frozen foods.
I become satisfied faster, and stay full for longer because there is not extra additives to make it taste better and make me want to keep eating.
It is more expensive, but it is very worth it. I love to eat simple foods like rice, beans, pastas, some meats here and there, vegetables and fruits... forget the crazy foods, stay simple! I like to eat foods that I know culture around the world have eaten for hundreds of years.
And if you want a real interesting read. Research who has been the head of the USDA and some of the other federal regulaters of agriculture.
Its like everything else at the federal level, absolutely rotten to the core.
When I started eating things other than organic, never fully cut out organic, it was just too much to be 100% Organic.Quote:
