Monsanto want to own ALL food!

The more politicians and corporations slyly slide into the sack together at the good old "Hotel Elite" the more certain I am they will meld into one entity. What the hell is going on really....Cows feeding on chicken s**t, aaaarrrrrgggggghhhh!!! it makes my head hurt. A buddy of mine is hell bent on forming "The Peoples Union" He figures if everyone in the world paid one dollar a month for membership, he'd have six billion per month to fight crap like this. He says the whole country of Canada could be told to stay home from work for one day of protest and he'd be able to pay their wages for that day. It's not a realistic approach IMO, but damn it...Something has to change. Stuff like this makes my RANT circuits get hot so I'll go get another beer and chill

I saw the movie, not saying whether it is accurate or not but as with anything you do need to see the other side of the coin. This is a very slanted piece, there is no dissenting opinions, no where in the credits do the say where their data comes from. It is a hit piece, it may be accurate but because a movie says it is how it is, does not make it so. I have read a lot about this issue and far to long and too complex for art photography forum discussion. To make the issue into a 2 hour movie does a huge disservice to the actual complexities of the issues on both sides. Take it with a grain of salt, the movie and it has a strong bias before they ever started to shoot, so when I know that I do further research to sort out the fact from the propaganda. It is a business and any business is to sell there product. To get real perspective you need to read competing and differing opinions. Only then do you know the real issues.

You are correct and I've done nothing but research on this problem and am convinced at this point that the big "M" is fairly well represented here. One can never just take a film at face value or any other media report. Of course, I'm one of those weird people who can't find a rational explanation anywhere as to why "Building 7" fell. One always has to keep in mind though that the power of the Internets ability to bring people the "Truth" is a wild card...The truth according to who? Personal agendas, misinformation, disinformation and outright lies are all balled up in one organism if you will. The truth is like panning for gold in some very dangerous country.

I don' think you find the truth on the internet, text books, magazine, University Research papers, etc. I think you gather all the pertinent information you can gather, read it, investigate their information and take all the facts you have gathered and based on the information you collect you make a decision on what information seems to have legit proof behind it, the more than likely this appears to be accurate, nothing to do with the truth, more of what is most likely the more accurate.

So how about Monsanto and the US milk supply?....I remember as a kid being overwhelmed at Disneyland in CA when I went on the Monsanto ride that shrunk you to an atomic level taking you through the particle world. I think it was called the Monsanto hall of chemistry or some such thing (Adventure Thru Inner Space). And to think I trusted these whacks! Check the link below for the milk issue.

You'll have to agree, it's better than Soylent Green.

And now they're messing with my favorite summer food!...Corn on the cob!!!

How many times are we going to let these clowns disrespect us as human beings. This horrific company will be our demise. The link shows a video of the history of Monsanto, not conjecture or conspiracy but historical fact. Do we want these people even working with chemicals? They make my blood curdle!

That was horribly shocking. I am not sure if you have posted this link previously but its well worth the time to watch all ten parts. But how do you fight against something that is so overwhelmingly insidious?

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO

[Barefoot]

I’ve followed this thread with some interest from its beginning. Although I choose not to enter into a debate over the ethics of corporations such as Monsanto, I would point out that it’s becoming ever increasingly difficult to feed the world populations and that the last thing on the mind of any of the millions of starving children in the drought and famine stricken regions of Africa as they’re being handed a bowl of food grown elsewhere in the world is, “Is this corn genetically modified? Because if it is, I don’t want it.”
