GMOs Panacea or Poison

The title of this presentation is a question that we all know the answer to.  If you are one who is in doubt the first few words of the film should answer a bunch of questions.

Monsanto has tried to lead us to believe that GMOs are a panacea.  They tried to lead us to believe that GMOs will fix world hunger, that poor farmers in India can prosper, that it is the answer to feeding the increase in population and so on.  So far, it has created world hunger, poor farmers in India found themselves so far in debt that thousands committed suicide and as for the bigger crop yields that are suppose to feed all of us; there are actually fields of GMOs that are self destructing because of superweeds, superbugs and super botanical diseases.  But if you are someone who would rather trust a company who has habitually lied, cheated and killed over the past 5 or six decades, that is your God given right to do so.  You may want to get some more information though.  Below is a video that gives some of very important facts.

This is one of those long films where you may want to whip out your nori snacks and bunny slippers.  Enjoy!
