Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 It's a biotech corporation. You should watch the documentary " The Future of Food " . I got it off Netflix. That will give you a good introduction to Monsanto. Dawn Re: Monsanto POLITICS ok, this may have been asked before, but i'm a newbie, so i don't know...... but.... WHO or WHAT is MONSANTO?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Makers of Agent Orange, Aspartame, and Round Up (among other toxic chemicals). Interestingly, I just learned that Aspartame was founded in 1901 to distribute saccharin. :-P On Apr 9, 2008, at 7:26 PM, Pendraig Siberians wrote: > It's a biotech corporation. > > You should watch the documentary " The Future of Food " .

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Watch the free documentary http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-842180934463681887 <http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-842180934463681887 & hl=en> & hl=en I'm sure it explains some of the evils Monsanto practices. Haven't had a chance yet but will when I get up with the baby in the morning. You can also do a google search for Monsanto. Look up Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), patenting of life, Round-Up Ready Canola, Bovine Growth Hormone in milk, etc. Dawn From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Bright Eyes Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 1:43 AM Subject: Re: Monsanto POLITICS ok, i got gobble digook, i dunno why that happens but some messages end up like this. sorry Pendraig, can you repost that again?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Monsanto is a large US corporate monopoly, that secretly irradiates, genetically modifies, etc. our food without the publics knowledge or consent. That is why it is so important to eat locally & know where your whole foods are coming from.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I've been looking at the Pennock Democracy School (links are below) and evidently our " democracy " was set up that way - so we'd think we have a say but the bureaucracy is really set up to represent the interests of the elites, and our " proper channels " we're pushed toward are set up to wear us out without us getting anywhere while they win.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think someone already recommended this video but it is now available on the Organic Consumers website, so, if you didn't get a chance to see it, I would strongly recommend everyone listen to this video and pass it on to everyone you know.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks for this!! It's a small gleam of hope. With all the legislation going around, a lot of Animal Rights/PETA/HSUS stuff to end all animal use/breeding/ownership I am definitely exhausted and I'm not on the front lines! It's like a plague in this country every since California tried to pass AB 1634 which they are working on again. It makes me sick that PETA especially has a " we love animals " public face while they euthanize 90 something percent of ALL the pets turned over to them and they promise the people relinquishing them that they will be adopted out. PAWS, NAIS etc is all there to profit some monster corporation and/or to help further along our growing police state. All the anti-breeding, pet limit laws etc are doing the same thing and add to the mix they are encouraging people to snitch on one another. They absolutely know the majority of people are too tired, too sick (from all the bad medicine, drugs, horrid food etc) to fight for long especially when it's all for nothing. Its easier just to do what they want. I remarked once how ridiculous it was in Houston we kept voting NO to a new stadium paid for by tax payers. And they would keep putting it through each time until we got too tired to campaign and fight against it and it passes. Also watching " Thank you for not smoking " gives an interesting insight to lobbyists. It's also an amusing, in a sardonic and grim way, movie. I don't know what a real answer to any of it is but I'd like to see lobbying made illegal. It's bribery no matter how you slice it. Also going back to a " my rights end where yours begin " which leaves no room for government control over my raw milk, my well bred and cared for animals, my child's health, my choice against anti-depressants (Mother's act!!) and well you get the picture.
