More dirt on Monsanto

[Michaelaw]

Nasty toxins showing up in women and their unborn children and it would seem to be coming from Monsantos GMO corn. Well no problem, we'll just quit eating corn right? Unfortunately corn is the largest part of our diet. Cows, chickens, pigs and even fish are corn fed. I'll be a happy guy when the monster Monsanto is no more. If you study the history of the company you'll find they have produced some of the most highly toxic chemicals on earth and many of those chemicals have been banned.

Just watched "The Corporation", Netflix Canada - Unlimited TV Shows & Movies Online, today. Wow! It's so much worse than I thought. I mean, I knew it was bad, but I never really realized just how bad it was.

Awesome film that Corporation, highly recommended. The actual legal use of the word corporation is imo, at the core of many of these problems.
A corporation is a legal entity just like a person, except for one important thing...it's NOT a person and has no soul or conscience and yet it can be controlled by one person or a group of people......the only fuel it runs on is profit.

Poisoning the planet with toxins and killing off plants and animals is not going to solve the problem either so the Monsanto solution is not exactly ideal.

The question becomes one of weight transfer...We have a billion overweight or obese people on the planet and a billion underfed starving people, how do we transfer the excess weight to those that need it and away from those that don't? As I see it, it's all about proper distribution of food. If Monsanto's game plan ever becomes altruistic as opposed to a profit driven drive to control the food supply, potentially they could offer a solution but the key is in motivation. As it is, they stand only to help depopulate the planet by fueling the already growing cancer epidemic currently plaguing the planet.

yup, but no one. No one will suggest breeding less. It's predictable as hell and really ironic. the worst thing a person can do for the environment is make another person.
