pesticides are so profoundly poisonous. i was exposed to a moderately high amount of a strong pesticide in summer 06 and i still have not recovered. but these evil companies don't care about poor people. thank you al j for doing this story, hope it will make a difference.

Similar to the other evil corp. Monsanto who has been commiting sins all over the world with their genetically altered seed. This GM product is another example of how US corp. make other countries peoples miserable. We in USA are being poisoned by prosilac in our milk,growth hormones are pumped into our beef cattle which causes cancers in humans, our poultry and swine are also polluted with toxins to make them grow faster and fatter to harvest for profit earlier. Bottled water also polluted!

This isn't bullshit. Even here in my country the herbicides in the fall kills the elderly by the numbers. It also kills the honey bees when they use pesticides. We have no recourse but use but we now it is dangerous. We try to stay indoors to avoid the poison. It has to stop somehow. I even planted a tomato garden and refused to use pesticides. I lost much to worms but still had so many tomatoes that we could not eat them all. Perhaps there is something to learn about sharing even with insects.

Monsanto is so entwined in most of the US Government.

GM Foods ARE POISON

[pleytes]

Theese are Monsanto seeds and pesticides. The most evil corporation.

[Xakryn]

Can't these farmers afford fire. They won't have anything to spray pesticides on if you torch the field. I smell a fucking rat and it smells like monsanto, public enemy number 1. I'd love ten minutes alone with Monsanto CEO's and owners with a shotgun in hand.

GM crops are dangerous as they haven't been tested and their effects are unknown. They should be banned. However most GM crop firms come from the US so the US government will further their cause in the name of profit, despite the fact that they could have disasterous concequences for the planet.

[DonSimonBolivar]

At least give the people something to wear to protect themselves. And place signs and other measures that can help prevent this from happening. Shit. The government should take more efforts in taking precautions. If they have one case or two cases thats enough to bring in extra measures to prevent these things from happening.

I've been in Paraguay, is a beautiful, but very poor country, in part because of the bad policies of the Colorado Party in power for more than 60 years.

They bought your bishop

[dragun39]

Down with GM crops

[DoJaenin]

It is rare for a commercial media outlet to cover such a story. Thank you.

btw does anyone else think that "monsanto!" has the perfect sound for a swearword?

[Rundstedt1]

Yea it does.

Bush is just a big monsanto! LOL

[spitzbubezumquadrat]

omg the voice

[Downfacingdog]

Get used to it. The end of the world is nigh!

[bobadillia]

This the by product of Brazilian farmers' greed using fertilizer from Monsanto

[Lamnont]

Why don't they increase a tax on pesticed.

[LastCynicStanding]

They want to kill lots of people.

[publicgood]

Same thing happens in Colombia when they try to fumigate coca plants. Not that that keeps cocaine out of the US or anything.

[clg26]

U.S. and any other country that buys from this source is equally responsible.
