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.

Dangerous Baby Shampoo

My parents immigrated to the US many years ago, and from the beginning my mom has been leery of artificial colorings, going to McDonald's, yellow colored Kraft Mac & Cheese, fruit punch made with food dyes.  She was even against usual personal care products that most Americans accepted and used on a daily basis (I remember trying to convince her how great Herbal Essences by P&G was).  Her shampoo choice was: Johnson & Johnson's Baby Shampoo and she has been using it for decades now.  In my mind, I just accepted how safe it was since it is made for babies. I mean, wouldn't you assume that what people sell specifically for babies should be safe?!

One would have thought.

It took me so long until now to look at this shampoo label, because in my mind this product is safe and has been accepted as safe for so long.  Now looking at the label, it is the farthest from natural. It is made from chemicals, one after another, except for Water.

NOT NATURAL.
