You can go to www.thefutureoffood.com and buy the movie or watch the above which comes in 7 clips of between 6 and 10 minutes a piece.
I felt sick to my stomach watching it–fear and the bad taste evil leaves.
“Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food, our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring it’s safety is the FDA’s job.” Phil Angell, Director of Corporate Communication, Monsanto. New York Times, Oct 25, 1998
Are you out of your #@!* mind?
First of all, the FDA does not have the capacity to monitor every product sold in this country. Second of all, what about the ethics? If you sell as much as possible and then people die, do you really wash your hands of it?? Yes, because you don’t believe in God or hell and your parents must not have loved you. Or they did love you but you ran into the devil one night and made a deal. You love money and you will drown in it.
We all want money. (Although some of us want it so we can give it away.) But to get it at the expense of another human being is one of the most evil things I can think of.
Corporations stole from us the land/people connection. Famines used to happen on a local and national scale. Genetically modified foods are resistant to blight so are supposed to prevent famine, but a famine will come, nonetheless. The suicide gene will contaminate other crops and there’ll be famine. Remember Ireland, the potato blight? They only had one kind of potato . . . . we used to have like 7,000 kinds of apples in this country and thousands of kinds of potatoes, corn, etc. Now we have like four kinds of potatoes. But maybe by then we’ll all be dead from suppressed immune systems, allergies to food, etc. Like the dinosaurs. Or X-men come true; we’ll all be mutants. (In the movie you sympathize with the mutants but who really wants it to happen in real life? Because we wouldn’t have cool mutations like flying, it would be like warts and goiters. And stomach fissures.)
This all happened behind closed doors while America got happy on tv. “Oh, I don’t care what you do to my food, just give me Growing Pains, Seinfeld, Friends.” And we assumed protection because agencies exist like the FDA. Well, the FDA came into being because corporations weren’t worried about the public, and now the FDA and corporations are in bed together so they might as well not exist but we’re just sure we’re protected. (BTW, I watch Friends, etc whether I should or not, but the point is it can be dangerous because you might be missing something important.)
There is no fear of God in the land, only playing God. . . .
I’m thinking about giving some money to Percy Schmeiser and his wife (part 2 of above movie). They lost their retirements thanks to evil, stupid, greedy, cold-hearted, short-sighted Monsanto.
Oh, and we can’t fight breast cancer because the breast cancer gene has been patented so it can’t be used for research unless a company pays a LOT of money to the owners of the gene (actually you can fight any kind of cancer with diet, exercise, sun, supplements, etc but that’s not the point here).
Monsanto, the government, many, many corporations: they’re the bully in the schoolyard. Dan Quayle, Bush, Jr, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, you are all evil! (I’m neither democrat nor republican.) Watch part 5 of the film, if none other.
Corn syrup and soy lecithin are mostly genetically modified and corn and soybeans are subsidized.
Monsanto doesn’t want genetically modified labeling because 1) consumers might not buy it 2) when people get sick, they don’t want to be able to trace it to GMO foods.
God, have mercy.
