MONSANTO is a MONSTER !!!

There's plenty of free unmodified food to go around but then there's no money in it for MONSANTO.

They sell seeds that die after one season's harvest so you're forced to go and buy new ones from them.

MONSTERS !!!

For more info look at William Engdah's : Seeds of Destruction book !

Congrats to Michael Pollan for speaking the truth. Grant has a reputation for being Monsanto's lapdog, and cannot be believed. Biotech is not about feeding the world but making more profits, which it has done abundantly during the recent food crisis, with its herbicides sector making a colossal $1.9 billion...no squeezing of the belt for them obviously.But here's the conundrum...if GM crops mean less chemicals how come the usage is increasing??

Sustainability is critical... we need more on this

Monsanto represents the Anti-Christ in my mind.

Michael Pollan is to weak to be a advartisor organics. We need to tear down some fuckin moral air castles that are built on piles of money. Just because you making tons of money , doesn't meen that your correct. Sure Michael is speaking the truth, but he's also holding out tons of other truths. I.e instance the food control question, imperialism, destruction of indigionous agriculture. And also more he should further stress the point about distribution. 800 million starving vs 1 billion?

Henry Kissinger: "Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people."

Monsanto GMOs, contaminate biodiversity, they want to create dependence on a corporation for survival, their genes contaminate natural crops, then they own the patent to that plant, their GMO, makes it necessary to use THEIR herbicides , which basically kill any other non GMO crops. this has caused starvation, and ruined economies world wide. its just slavery, they should be hung.

The "Gene revolution they speak of, will kill of the masses faster and easier than ever.Monsanto cares not for the lives of the people, they're only concern is the profit with no worry for the "colateral damage".It's Sinister!

The bottom lime and the owning of ALL seeds and to own the food source, kill the true seeds and steal our right to grow our own food.

Clean seeds and slow food methods are required.If Monsanto ever wanted to help the people who are starving, GIVE them water.
