"Oh my god, now I know what that stands for...after looking it up on the net ", say the applicants who went through the various questions asked in the application form.
So now that you know what GMO is, what do you think about it, and how what ends in your plate is or will shortly be Genetically Modified?
You may be asking yourselves, what is wrong with Genetically Modified Crops? You may also want to ask yourself, to whom does this profit? Does the everyday man and woman profit from better food slapped on the table because their natural composition was changed? When asking yourself this, seek data wherever you can about how brighter, bigger, more colourful crops actually aren't as tasty as natural products. Wow, don't those cucumbers look delicious! They must be, seeming how yummy they look. That's one thing to learn about how the world has grown to fall for the golden carrot: the carrot looks tasty, but damn well isn't!
Leaving the subject of taste aside, what are the consequences of modifying the genetic code of a living plant that we will eventually eat and digest, incorporating whatever that plant has to offer into our own system? It is safe to say, WE DO NOT KNOW! And precisely for that reason, it is unsafe to force feed the entire planet with these GMO products (soja, rice, cereals, etc etc) when tests suggest that the health of the human race is at stake, or that the harm that these crops could do is yet to be denied. Tests still need to be conducted by independant organizations that hold no financial interest in approving all GMO products (copyright MONSANTO), as tests were up till now either crushed, swept aside, or carried out by biased relations of Monsanto, a company that has a patent for all GMO grains that they sell world wide to over 75% (roughly, to be corrected) of farmers. The USA can make you eat anything without you knowing it has genetically modified ingredients in it. In Europe, products still require the label, 'containing GMO', but is still being hijacked by the massive Monsanto wave that is overpowering the European officials who see no evil either.
What is bad about farmers using GMO grain bought from Monsanto? There is a trap, I assure you. When a farmer buys grain to sow, often unable to find anything else as Monsanto is almost a monopoly, he also has to pay royalties to Monsanto who owns the patent. Then, to benefit from the faulty (as what follows actually doesn't necessarily work) Monsanto wonder pack, you must by Round Up weed killer that the super grain designed by Monsanto is capable of resisting. Spray your fields with this highly toxic weed killer, polluting the soil for years to come, wiping out insects, biological variety, and the crops will grow unharmed. Why do this and not continue to do it the good old way? Because the grain appears to be cheap and has gradually wiped out all competition. By natural and illegal contimanation, even naturally grown crops have been 'infected' by GMO fields nearby and have gradually weakened the biological richness of our farmlands, only offering one type of each plant and destroying local specialities.
How to resist the wave when illegally Monsanto has planted GMO crops throughout your country without the government knowing (yeah yeah) and is impossible to get rid of since it appears to generate (on a short term!) more profit, and has killed all other varieties by artificial and natural (wind, half dead birds etc) contamination? By exposing the horrifying results of what Monsanto has done to Food today, and to the farmers across the globe, caught up in the storm and hands tied (lands "purified" and only able to be used for GMO round up resistant crops. See a problem with that? Why do normally Farmers rotate their crops and not have maze in one field continually? So the earth doesn't end up being useless and sterile for future crops to grow from).
What is wrong with using Round Up?
Watch this documentary and find out for yourself:
French: World according to Monsanto
English : Controlling Food
Spanish Subs : World According to Monsanto
After watching this, you may either throw up or wonder what the hell one can do about a company that is on the verge of becoming your only supplier of food. Control the Food, control the People. Control the Banks, Food, and think of creating a world government, you control the world.
The future is in your hands, you just need to know what the world is really made of before choosing to bend down, or act. I hope some have constructive ideas to share of how something this big, blidnly accepted by the USA under BUSH senior's presidency for hugely attractive financial reasons) can be stopped.
See no evil?
