The World According to Monsanto
A documentary aired in France on March 11 that Americans will probably never be shown. It is about Monsanto and it GM "products", their effects on farming, the environment, and possibly you, the consumer.
The French documentary, called “The world according to Monsanto” and directed by independent filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin, paints a grim picture of a company with a long track record of environmental crimes and health scandals.
So far, Japan has kept these GM products out. As I write this, the European Union is voting on whether or not to allow three types of GM crops to be grown in Europe - stay tuned.
Why be concerned? Watch the documentary...
Here is a 3 minute clip about the film:
The full documentary is here (108 minutes):
Did you know that if you live the United States you have a 75% chance of buying something that contains genetically modified ingredients when you are at the supermarket? Close to one third of the crops in the United States are now Genetically Modified.

Look at the produce stickers on the fruits and vegetables you buy. The PLU code for conventionally grown fruit consists of four numbers, organically grown fruit has five numbers prefaced by the number nine, and GM fruit has five numbers beginning with the number eight.
Buy organic produce as often as you can. By definition, food that is certified organic must be free from all GM organisms.
Do no eat processed foods. Most contain corn and soy products, and most corn and soy are genetically modified.
Say no to GMOs - for your health, the biodiversity of the planet, and the food sovereignty of poor nations.
