The story begins with food. The quality of our food supply has gone from natural, well-cared for, and grown by over 80% of the population...to... less than 5% of the population growing foods and crops... to... foods now controlled by major corporations. Not only has this reduced nature's goodness to something that is man-made and altered by science. Is this a good thing or bad? Maybe both, but time will tell.
Let's put aside the debate about whether genetically engineered crops may compromise our health in the long-term or not. Let's look at an issue that is more disturbing to not only farmers but the control of our food supply.
It all starts not that many years ago when the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of a company (I believe GM) to put a PATENT on a living thing (a genetically created microbe if I'm not mistaken, that could eat oil, like what would be used in oil spills; never was used). With this ruling, it opened the door to put PATENTs on LIVING THINGS... contrary to the constitution or what is safe. What does this mean? It means that genetically engineered seeds can be patented... it means that whoever owns these seed patents will eventually control our food supply!
Watch this very informative, eye-opening video that shows how hundreds of farmers are being sued without ever knowing that MONSANTO's seeds got on to their farm! --- Go to Dr. Mercola's site and watch. NOTE: this video is 90 minutes, but get through just 15 minutes.
These things need to be voted on by the you and I... the public. We cannot let this continue down the path it is going. Monsanto will become the next big "EVIL" corporation with so much control. Did you know that somewhere close to 40% of corn is genetically modified? And most of it is Monsanto's.
The scary thing is not just food, but if their seed, their genetically-engineered 'whatever' ends up in your yard, in your house, in your body... they could claim rights to YOU!
Watch the video. Pass the link around.
