    Default Monsanto want to own ALL food!

    This is a long film (1 hr 48 min) but well worth watching. Natural crop seeds are being replace by Monsanto patented GM seeds and we pay royalties to them, could they one day own the rights to all the food on earth?...You bet they could....WILL!

    Ignorance is bliss...but i will watch this anyway because I feel it's very important. I have been hearing about this for years (Genetically Modified food seeds by Monsanto) and it bothers me.

    There's a big problem with corporations. In fact Michael Moore's film the Corporation addresses many of these evil doings in the name of profit. faceless - nameless profit.

    Oooooooooh! Never watched "The Corporation" I will have to watch for this. The Monsanto deal seems to be going down in the background and when the SHTF it will be too late to change it, plus natural seeds will be lost forever due to natural cross pollination. We need to be aware of this issue!

    I actually think that farmers that have their fields contaminated by Monsanto genetically modified crops should file a class action law suit against them for destruction of natural food sources.

    I totally agree! I'm also wondering if this corporation has anything to do with our ailing Bee's?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the farmers did/are suing them....I also believe Monsanto is counter-suing them for stealing their GMO seeds even though it's just blown into their fields...I heard about this a few years ago.

    Hi there Oooooooohhhh,
    Nice subject here I think this is a real scary one thinking of it and the power one company would get when they actually do get the monopoly.

    Ever listened to the podcast "No Agenda" of Adam Curry and Jhon C Dvorak as this is one of their favorite subjects to hjarp on for good reason.
    But I get the feeling that you have listened to them before.

    Anyway lets hope Moncanto will never get that much power nor anyone else for that matter,

    Greetings,
    TJD

    The more politicians and corporations slyly slide into the sack together at the good old "Hotel Elite" the more certain I am they will meld into one entity. What the hell is going on really....Cows feeding on chicken s**t, aaaarrrrrgggggghhhh!!! it makes my head hurt. A buddy of mine is hell bent on forming "The Peoples Union" He figures if everyone in the world paid one dollar a month for membership, he'd have six billion per month to fight crap like this. He says the whole country of Canada could be told to stay home from work for one day of protest and he'd be able to pay their wages for that day. It's not a realistic approach IMO, but damn it...Something has to change. Stuff like this makes my RANT circuits get hot so I'll go get another beer and chill

    I saw the movie, not saying whether it is accurate or not but as with anything you do need to see the other side of the coin. This is a very slanted piece, there is no dissenting opinions, no where in the credits do the say where their data comes from. It is a hit piece, it may be accurate but because a movie says it is how it is, does not make it so. I have read a lot about this issue and far to long and too complex for art photography forum discussion. To make the issue into a 2 hour movie does a huge disservice to the actual complexities of the issues on both sides. Take it with a grain of salt, the movie and it has a strong bias before they ever started to shoot, so when I know that I do further research to sort out the fact from the propaganda. It is a business and any business is to sell there product. To get real perspective you need to read competing and differing opinions. Only then do you know the real issues.
