Genetically modifed foods

Basically Monsanto sucks and is trying to control the world's food/seeds ect.

I don't drink or eat anything with apartame and after reading about GMO I am not so sure i want that stuff in me either, afterall, you are what you eat.

here are a few links , all you have to do is google Monsanto and all these are on the 1st google page.

this one is a good read and tells of some tactics that are pretty bad. I guess the supreme court paved the way for this to even happen in the first place by allowing patents.

Monsanto Corporation Sucks


I'd like to see labels on food myself

Monsanto the devil......

What's the biggest racket , food of course !

Guess who has their hands in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault ??? Bill gates , the Rockefeller's and Monsanto . This article is a lil out there , but makes ya think .

"Doomsday Seed Vault" in the Arctic -

Do more research and you'll see how friendly they are with past presidents . Then what laws these presidents pushed/changed to really open up the market to their "products" .

They sue farmers into using their seeds and all kinds of nasty tactics . What can a barely scraping by farmer do against a multi-billion dollar global corporation?





What else is disgusting is the tons of organophosphate pesticides sprayed all over . Research is finally coming out linking it to increased cases of ADHD . Hmmmmm , I'll bet many of these same corporations that make these pesticides , also happen to sell ADHD drugs ......

When we are unknowingly eating foods that have been genetically altered to withstand treatment via an herbicide (roundup),it can not be good.

of course the laziness/lack of energy and increased appetite doesn't come from side effects to medications for things like ADHD and other stuff right??? it's a vicious circle. Not everyone is lazy and just stuff their face. Corporations like Monsanto are driven by greed and are completely F'ing up the human race not to mention nature and the enviroment

"These private companies, Monsanto, DuPont, Dow Chemical hardly have an unsullied record in terms of stewardship of human life. They developed and proliferated such innovations as dioxin, PCBs, Agent Orange. They covered up for decades clear evidence of carcinogenic and other severe human health consequences of use of the toxic chemicals. They have buried serious scientific reports that the world’s most widespread herbicide, glyphosate, the essential ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide that is tied to purchase of most Monsanto genetically engineered seeds, is toxic when it seeps into drinking water.9 Denmark banned glyphosate in 2003 when it confirmed it has contaminated the country’s groundwater.10 "

Disgusting

In some areas in the US it is present in the environment year round ...

Roundup kills weeds, but does it harm us? - US news - Environment - msnbc.com

DIdn't they spray this on the coca fields in south america ? Then all the natives who were exposed to it had all kinds of negative health effects !


FU Corporate America and all the people ( sheeple) who buy into your BS!



I used to look at the gas station next to Island Windsurfing , right in front of the Island's Reservoir . The stations tanks were filled with gasoline that had added MTBE to reduce air pollution . Great , less air pollution , but it's terrible once it gets into the water supply . GENIUS

The solution of course is to deregulate the chemical and agriculture industries. If these businesses just had government off their back they could...

Sorry, I forgot what I was saying.
