Obama totally finked out on his promise to the over 90% of American people who wanted clear GMO labels. He signed into law the Dark Act - guaranteeing our corporately mandated "Right to Remain Ignorant" about what we are eating or feeding to our children.

I like the O man, but signing that law is a broken promise, and an outright betrayal of the people in favor of the multinational GMO, chemical and pharmaceutical corporations.

All those job seekers in the Monsanto plant can thank "March Against Monsanto," Jeffrey Smith, and Steven Druker for killing their jobs.

IMO, if theres nothing wrong with Monsanto, they shouldnt fight so hard to stop labeling efforts and they shouldnt be trying to ruin private farms

See my post below.

But this is a global effort to dominate the croplands around the world, the new market is Eastern Europe.



The farmers are sold lies that the GMO and hybrid crops are better, never telling them they cannot replant seeds.

These poor farmers, who have had land in their families for centuries are now forced to buy seed each time, instead of being able to save off and plant a portion of their crops. These farmers make $1 a day and are forced to sell their farms to BigAg.


.

the issue at hand, which a lot of GMO supporters miss, isn't about the GMO seeds per say, it's about Monsanto, Cargill and Agra-corp using strong armed tactics to prevent farmers from saving seeds.

the concept of saving seeds for the following years planting is as old as agriculture itself.

the corporations I have mentioned above have made it their mission to destroy this practice and force farmers to buy their "suicide seeds".

seeds that are only good for one planting, thus forcing the farmer to buy seeds year after year.

watch the documentary, "the future of food". there is a segment about just what I'm talking about.

anywhere these corporations put down their foot print, you will find them trying to prevent farmers from saving seeds.

If Monsanto and the others have such a desperately useful and SAFE group of products let them show us that is so. Let them do it not by publishing research from bent academics they own and institutes greatly beholden to them, but through the kind of transparency that once was the hall mark of reliable research.

Let someone not attached to their network examine the history of their products in the field and the patterns of disease among the people who have applied them.

Real science not Corporate double-talk about licensing the very food we eat no matter where it is grown. You may as well sell all the water to them while you are at it, Oops Nestle already did that.

between corporate financed and true independent scientific research anymore. There should be a swarm of Monsanto apologists descending on this thread any minute. Glad you were able to get a rational comment in first.

"But the science! The science!"

I guess most of them had the weekend off! Guess we'll have to do their work for them, sigh.

Pseudoscience, fringe anti-science, anti-vaxxers, Mercola, Quacks, conspiracy, debunked BS, Peer reviewed, woo sites.............that's a few. They work very hard, they deserve a break!

Then, these farmers can no longer take 10% of their crop for the next cycle.

They are now forced to buy from corporations each planting season. These are people making $1 a day.

The farmers are often forced to sell their family farm at a reduced cost to BigAg, who then widens their empire.
