New stop sign piece from Free Humanity saying 'Stop Monsanto'.
We agree. Gene modification is quite seriously one of the biggest threats to the future of the world. Mark our words--there will be a major world famine in our life spans due to the seed gene modification that Monsanto is currently instigating. Not to mention poisoning the worlds' fields with pesticides.
Indeed. Stop Monsanto!
Why would there be a famine due to increased yield per acreage and decreased susceptibility to disease thanks to gene modification? The real threat Monsanto presents is the patenting of gene strains for particular produce, which is easily "accidentally" crossbred and propagated in independent farmers crops, for which they are sued and can't produce and sell their agriculture because they never licensed the strain.
ReplyDelete^^^^I'm pretty sure susceptibility to disease would INCREASE rather than decrease, as carcinogens such as mancozeb and chlorothalonil are sprayed directly on our food supply or are planted in GM seeds created by Monsanto to produce those same chemicals. Farmers who use these methods have shown a six-fold increase in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the last 20 years in America. Regardless, they are an evil corporation that is monopolizing the food industry, putting farmers out of work and in to debt, and all their produce is toxic. Grow your own food if you can, or buy local and organic! Thanks to Free Humanity for such an important statement.
