The World According to Monsanto

This documentary: The World According to Monsanto is a must watch. An Absolute Must Watch.  It reveals Monsanto's history, product strategy, crop domination and just quite frankly, control over plants. 

My family has direct experience with the poisonous power of Roundup.  We have a small garden and wanted to grow corn, a variety of corn that comes from Taiwan 30+ years ago.  We planted the seeds in the ground, and there is a neighboring field that has GMO corn on it that uses Roundup.  We were excited about our variety of corn, especially to taste this traditional variety that we had saved from so long ago.  Our corn stalks grew over the summer, looking strong and tall. At harvest time when all the GMO corn was getting harvested, we had NOTHING TO HARVEST on our corn.  It was like our plants grew but none of the stalks produced corn to pick, not one ear.

Now, this is the power of controlling someone's food.  Monsanto's seed dominates, kills the reproduction of our seed, and we have nothing to eat. What we grow does not produce.  We are left with having to purchase Monsanto's seed, Monsanto's herbicide, Monsanto's fertilizer...and perhaps for so many Americans and people around the world is later, Monsanto's cancer.

Monsanto has developed many GMO crops, as well as rBGH (bovine growth hormone for cows), Agent Orange and many other chemicals used in biotechnology.
