The World According To Monsanto
 

In researching Monsanto I found this really powerful documentary. If you are concerned about one multi nation corporation controlling the worlds food supply then you will want to watch this.

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. 1:48:57

There is also a 10 part high def version available on Youtube.

Let me see what's going on. brb On both my computers it opens the embedded video when I open the thread. Are you being blocked at work maybe?

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Home. I get the picture of the video, but when I click on the arrow--it goes black. I will go to youtube and look for it.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Here is a link to the Google videos. Be aware that there are plenty of shortened versions. The original is 1:48:57 The Google video has been renamed "Controlling our food" It's the top video on the page link I gave below.

The one in first post works for me.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

I found that if I click on the title (not the arrow at bottom) it works.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Clicked on title and it worked for me. Controversial subject like a one world government.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

This gells with me and reinforces why I eat no processed foods - no ready foods, no commercial processed meats, nothing with soya as far as I can manage, no canned added value items - especially anything from the USA - you never know what is hidden in there. Everything we eat is made ourselves from fresh local produce. Time consuming and people think we are strange not to take advantage of the conveniences (perhaps we are!! lol!). But I am happier making all my sauces, desserts, soups myself. Thank you for this information even though it winds me up for weeks!!

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Some things never change.....and not for the better. Back in the early 90's before "Organic Gardening" became a womens magazine there were a constant stream of articles concerning Monsanto's environmental record and seeming total disregard for the environment and even people's welfare. Long arms and deep pockets continually win out over whatever may stand in the way. It seems to be a constant theme with big industry. Sure a few lives are invariably lost along the way.........at least profits are high! This isn't to say I'm against big business, just the continual nefarious practices that inevitably go along with them. I wish there was a real solution.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

If they just spend half of what they spend on lobbying and paying off governments they could just fix the product and save them self's all the trouble of videos like this, bad products, and the public hating them in general. I have read about this before but never this company. They are not the only ones modifying plants so that a farmer has to spray his fields with their chemicals or the plants will not grow. I have also read that the next generation of these plants are sterile and the new seeds will not grow what so ever.

As for meat and dairy, I don't even see the point in these Growth Hormones, as they hurt the cattle, stop your cattle from reproducing, and hurt the end product (Milk and Meat) So really whats the point? How ever I am 100% for cloned Beef! Lots of selective breeding till you get what you want then carry on that ones cells and make a ton of really good beef. Cloning is better, safer, and healthy then any other solution provided by Monsanto.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

I agree with Bob and Mike. Sad to say and we all know it but MONEY buys the POWER to CONTROL everything. How many times have your toes been stepped on? Monsanto is only one of many companies controling our future.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Ever since I heard of Monsanto, I've had only One thing to say to them:
LEAVE THE PLANET!
Thanx guys :) ! Good to see I'm not the only one pis**d off!
Besides, I'd kind of like to taste Real food sometime, I hear it's Super!

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Cassie its good you don't eat Soy the food co, are suppressing the fact that it contains 300 times the normal amount of Estrogen then a woman would normally have in her blood stream thats right according to a study that cam out 3 years ago if a normal healthy adult woman drinks 8oz of soy milk within 8 hr here estrogen levels will be 300 times normal and they wonder why American Woman have high Premenstrual syndrome are food supply is laced with the stuff

not to mention this is not something most people seem to know but did you know that American Men have some of the highest sterility rates in the western world hmmmm the fist thing to happen to a man when he is given estrogen is he becomes Sterile

so don't drink it and contrary to popular believe its not a good substitute for milk allergy in children as a mater of fact Children can grow quite well with out ever having had milk or soy and although at this point its inconclusive many times more Teen aged Boys have Gynomasty (male Brest development) 25% was the norm its been suggested that its over 40% now and early onset Male pattern baldness then was the norm just 40 years ago and they are some of the highest consumers of pre packaged foods Hmmmmm vary suspicious
theirs also another study and i cant remember this specifics but its been suggested that thees an alarming rate of low Body Hair on Male teens thees days i go to the gym allot and i can tell you thers not that many hairy chested guys any more and there not all shaving it off

PS i don't care how much you disagree with the statements iv made i don't want to be personally attacked for the previous stamens is tuff if read here and there and i stand by the belief i my self had Brest Cancer and prier to my subsequent treatment ment was a high consumer of soy the first question my doc asked me is do you eat soy she then told me never to consum it ever again and explained the estrogen affects of it and guess what I'm also sterile as far as I'm concerned its a plague on humanity we shouldn't even be feeding it to live stock

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Thanks Paulo, is it all soy or just the GM soy your'e talking about?

The cows milk issue is one that interests me because I read a book by DR Raymond Francis in which he claims that cows milk is very bad for us. He says it actualy pulls calcium from the body, the reverse of what the dairy councel claims. I've always wondered about his claim so now I'll have to spend some time looking into it.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Don't think I have much soy in my diet but I'm not hairy, not bald, definitely not sterile, and didn't take PE this year.... and I drink lots of milk every day. I did hear of a recent experiment (in Greenland or Iceland, one) in which it was 'proven' that children raised on high levels of soy tended towards developmental abnormalities.
As for Monsanto, I have nothing else to say except I prefer the food the planet came equipt with :).
Oh, and if I shave, it'll be my mug only. Can't believe somebody'd wanna take that much time shaving :ha:.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

all gust say two things about mike Im German and im from Kasnsas im going to drink it i just make sure i get no BTSE added i probly got that some how mixed i cant rember the the agsact placment of the Letters and im so lazy to go look in the frig

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

To funny man!

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Wow! Thanx :) ! Not sure what I said but I'll stand by it. Kansas? You too? That's where I was born. Guten tag, mein freund! I'm not German but Larry is (a friend of mine, here). His mom was born in Germany.
BTW, still trying to figure it out. What's supposed to be in milk that makes your hair fall off?

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Just go watch the movie "Food Inc."

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Wow! Thanx for the link, Rmplmnz :) ! Got it bookmarked under "health" & will check it out soon as Woody's done with his music junk. I drink lots of milk (Bordens) & if there's something weird going on, I sure wanna know about it. I'm still growing & sure don't wanna end up deformed or something!
Wanna check out your red bananas avatar, too. Tried the link but it just kept loading forever. Will write it down & do a google search.
I do know that Monsanto is making genetic altered foods & suing farmers and that's just not right. NOBODY should have patents to unprocessed foods, ever.

BTW, just wanna take a minute to thank you & Damaclese & everybody. Never met so many incredibly intelligent people. Think I learn more here than I do in school.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

I agree with Eric. Here in Riverside, depending on lot size and quanity of food one wants to grow, you are required to get a permit. Heck, you need a permit just to change out a water heater. (Bureaucracy wanting deeper pockets). :mad: :mad: :mad:

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Those who have the Money buys the Power to Control.

Do THEY care about who they step/rollover on? :rollerbananadone:

Any resistance, and we can expect this: :nanertank:

The people of the world need to Unite: :bananarow:

To make our future brighter: :aliennaner:

This little guy :aliennaner: just gave me an idea :rolleyes: for the "Are you Superstitious" Thread.

Have a great day everyone;

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

its a hormone called BSTE i think its the way its spelled it keeps the cows in milk for up to 2 years instead of the normal 10 to 12 months and it increases there volume of milk but it makes Men have breast and it can produce breast milk in certain men that are sensitive to it its horrible it stress the cows a good dairy cow normally can be used for 6 years thees being her most fertile time but with BSTE a cow is all used up after only 3 to 4 years but she will have made 50% more milk in that short time what kind of life is that are we so cruel now that we just see the vary animals that feed us as some kind of machine to be tweaked to its highest preformens level being

And heres the kicker we have such a serpluse of milk in the US that the goverment gives Mony to Dariy farmers havint you wonderd why milk is so exspesiv when in the old days it was so cheep price saports planie and simple
A Gal of milk here in Vegas is well over 4$ US now you can find it cheeper but realy 4$ dallers thats rediculis for something that cost about 20 cents to produce
Cow eats Grass Cow makes Milk not vary coplicated People!

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

i wanted to say a few more things i know when you are raising Animals for food its important to not get to attached to them there not Pets i understand this but for the short time they are on this earth they should have the vary best life they can a cow will live quite a long time we have had old dairy cows live to be 20 thats along time for a cow i think they were happy and thats why they lived so long what dose a cow expect out of life but a nice grass field pasture and some cool running water to drink some sun on her back and the odd tree to scratch against its not much to have to provide

but instead we close them in to pins hardly big enough for them to move feed them threw bars and out of a troth were they must walk in their own excrement until some dumb ass farmer decides he has to go clean it up before the dairy inspector comes by we spray there teats with iodine that burns and most of them never see the sun and when we are done with her and she can barely stand we ship her to McDonald's becaus thats the only cow they will buy ad kill her with a 22 caliber bullet to the Head and if shes luck it will kill here right off but allot aren't that lucky

i eat Meat its part of the normal healthy diet of a humin beaing i tried to be a vegetarian and my health surfed not every one can make it on vegeas for life but i don't subscribe to corporate faming and i never will

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Good to be in the company of like minds....REAL FOOD!
Not:
A chicken that never sees the light of day or eats a bug or walks on land.
Lives in a steel cage...NOT how it was meant to be.

Don't even get me started on Plastic, Aluminum & Fluoride...

Watching, reading & learning more...:lurk: ~Cheryl

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Breasts & milk on a guy :eek: ! That's scary!
I'm with Damaclese on animal treatment. My great grandpa had his cows in a pasture & chickens all over the place. Steers ended up in the freezer & chickens ended up with dumplings but at least they had a Normal life till then. I think people who think of animals as just comodities end up thinking of people the same way. Not good.

Oh, and Thanx Rmplmnz! The Monsanto world-monopoly needs to Stop before they control everybody's dinner table!

Eric,
I like the way you think!

Here is another web site for you with a few short videos..

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Mitchell - they mix the gm soy with the regular soy to prevent people from boycotting the gm stuff. I wouldn't even believe the health food stores as a normal consumer has no way of checking whether soy is gm free or not.

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

I grew my own heirloom edamame one year and it was really tasty! I'm not a big soy eater other than the occasional edamame snack. One thing you can do is buy organic. As it stands now all organic food is non GMO, but Whole Foods and the Non-GMO Project are creating a label for Non GMO conventionally grown foods. This is a big step in the right direction!

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

soy is bad no mater whether its Organic or not its full of estrogens no man or woman should ever ingest it consider it poisonous

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Uh oh, I didn't know soy was a bad thing. I sometimes drink that soymilk. Says it's made from organic soybeans. It's also s'posed to be good for women going thru menopause. I'm confused.
What about soy sauce? I love soy sauce.
Learning alot here...thanks for all the videos. Now I feel stupid.:(

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

well i I'm sure Menopause is not fun but drinking soy to get an estrogen boost will just delay the inevitable and besides its carcinogenic with out progesterone so i wouldn't recommend it

Re: The World According To Monsanto
 

Sounds awful and I Luv Chinese food :(. Curious. How about the sweet & sour sauce, do they use soy in that?
BYE
