Monsanto are toying with the very building blocks of nature and there are huge risks in doing so.. they could screw the ecological chain on Mother Earth for eons..

Good post!!

Would I say my cake is NO GOOD if I am the one baking cakes and selling them?

I doubt Monsanto’s explaination. If anyone needs to “explain”, it has to come from a source that is NOT paid by third-parties to do unbias and sound research.

WHO, EFSA and FAO have been endorsing GMO even without any completed human studies = no proof GMed foods are safe. I have lost trust in these organizations. EFSA even went as far as to discredit Dr. Morando Soffritti’s (Nobel Prize-Winner) study on genetically-modified sugar, aspartame.

Already there are studies that show cotton plants failed due to genetically modified seed, pigs sterile due to ingestion of GMed corn.

Do not be silent. People will call you crazy, but never be silent. That is what they want.

[...] Amid world wide food shortages Monsanto wants to reassert its position in the global food chain. During a U.N. food summit in Rome last year, Monsanto announced ambitious goals to double yields on corn and soy by 2030. In a world with only so many food acres, the trend is being able to increase the yield of crops per acre. This is often accomplished by genetically modifying the seeds that Monsantos owns and patents. [...]

Chris at Monsanto,
I don’t believe one word of it.
Myself and others were sickened by Quick-Dry Min-wax ethylene glycol die-ethyl ether two months after application. The same group sickened walking in a field a week after minimal Round-up application. Each time I politely called your question or info number looking for helpful information and was referred to a scientist. Your scientist was a real wise-guy, new nothing about science or health. All he had to say was hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the Parkinson’s symptoms. This convinces me that you are all out for yourselves. The funny thing … I became friends with some world class scientists, doctors of epidemiology, toxicology, physics, and electromagnetic science.
A long history of poisons PCB’s, Agent Orange, Saccarin, DDT, BGH, Styrene everywhere. Neighbors sickened by PCB road spray. Cancer Deaths along the PCB sediment filled 32 mile stretch of the Hudson River. Husbands and loved ones a mess by Agent Orange and DDT. You certainly appear to be fooling everybody.
Food? The corn issue is a disaster, if you wish to call it corn.
Wonder if John Francis Queeny meant to sell his soul.

Call me crazy, but isn’t this the same type of crack dealer behavior we were told to avoid during the “Just Say No” campaign from the Reagan years?

You get a few freebies to introduce you to the product. You love it so much you start paying for it. Before you know it, you can’t live without it.

The concept of the Corporation was devised so that a company could function financially as an individual without being an actual living person. Monsanto can’t go to hell. In a side note, hell is a construct of the human mind.

Once the people behind Monsanto reach the limits of what can be done with regard to unnaturally productive agriculture, they will have some hard times (relatively speaking). There is a huge disaster fast approaching in the form of a phosphorus shortage. GMO can’t overcome that.

I did a lot of research when writing a college essay re: GE foods. My research confirms the info in this post – NOT the spin from Monsanto.
Monsanto is nothing if not evil, and I’m surprised that no one here has mentioned the fact that these things have been going on in the US for years: “endanger the health of the people who eat it’s food, force farmers to buy seeds from only them, sue farmers whose fields have become contaminated by their product, and leverage profits on the backs of the hungry”. Monsanto & the USDA are NOT pro-health, pro-environment, pro-humanity. They are pro-profit.
GE crops/foods, toxins (especially bio-accumulative toxins!), seed that requires Monsanto chemicals to be productive…They’ve gotten away with it here; there is very little outcry. (Go organic folks!)
Europe, for the most part, rejects anything GE. Yet there is an attitude that the hungry should be thankful for anything they are given, even if it is something that will only further endanger them and their futures. Evil!
