The first Sustainable Agriculture Group 'Monsanto Round Up'

Submersible:
I thank you for your comments and actually agree. Except for the certain group of us who discuss this here because we care about the crap in our food and know it is causing illness which is directly related to the health/pharmaceutical company perk bill people are all talking about while ignoring this, it gets little to no play here. However, there is one very important reason why I continue to persevere, and that is my child and the world we are making for him, all his age, and their children. I simply cannot in good conscience sit silent while these deceptions go on. If Vanguard doesn't want to cover it, well, I have a camera too and I know how to use it. ;-> Thanks again.

Hey Jan, I was wondering ....
if someone snatched up a couple of the male investigative reporters from Current (Bitchass.tv) and kept them locked in a cage for a few months... then released them with the word MONSANTO tattooed in great big letters across their foreheads,,,
would they appear on the national news like the two ladies who got snatched up in N. Korea for covering a story that has NOTHING to do with the American people being systematically slaughtered by the drug dealers that control the FDA??

I was just wondering ya' know.

WTF will it take to bring the amount of POISON in our food supply to the attention of the American people? It's literally disgusting to see how many people are passionate enough about "socialized" health care to get off of their asses and protest a bill that they couldn't understand if a lawyer translated it for them... when they have no idea how contaminated the food is as they stop to shovel it down their throats on the way to and from these so called protest.
I find the whole situation to be saturated with irony.

Part of me wants to say "focus on yourself girl."

The candy assess that have the opportunity to determine which stories are "news worthy" on this channel are not going to risk losing airtime privileges by pursuing or broadcasting an issue as insignificant as the SHIT they are forced to feed their own families...

but I honor you for your diligence.
You are a soldier, and a gracious one at that.

You're welcome. I'm now working on trying to get my city council to introduce a resolution for a CSA farm in my town. I think this is now one of the best ways to not only bring healthy sustainable food to our neighborhoods, but to also benefit our environment, economy, and also educate our youth and get them involved in endeavors that will not only teach them the skills they need to live, but also give them a purpose in their communities. And really, it is something we can all do.

I am sure I speak for many more than just myself when I say you are making a difference, and....I really appreciate you, Jan, and all what you bring to our greater community.
Thank you for all your effort and what you are sharing to help educate and facilitate ;^)

And, just to add a bit to your comment Jan, so many people in our world seem to forget, or not get, that food is our medicine, and are not making the connection between our level of health and what we are ingesting - wether it be food, water, air, as well as where we focus our thoughts....

Thanks Jubal. I think of my son when I read these stories because this is the world he will have to raise his own family in. For an example, Monsanto claims GM wheat will be out in about eight to ten years... by then he may well have a child of his own, and I damn sure don't want them eating GM wheat. If there is anything we can do to stop this I sure will do my best to be a part of it in any capacity I can be part of it.

They take your life from the time you are born with their GM soy baby formula, and use millions of dollars in ad and PR money to get you hooked on their processed crap from the time you are a small child. We need to break this cycle now for the health of our children, their children, and the biodiversity of our environment that we need to sustain life on this planet. I know this seems like a monumental task, and honestly, it is. However, nothing worth doing is ever really easy, but together we can make changes. Look at how Salazar announced they were temporarily (key word there) pulling back that million acres in the Grand Canyon from uranium mining. It was pressure from environmental groups and others that made that happen, and I truly believe if people are aware of just what GMOs are and their threats to them that they will be vocal enough to push for a moratorium and the banning of glyphosate. Doctors are already speaking out.

Funny too, because Obama spent an hour on TV last night talking about his corporate healthcare plan but not ONCE did he mention the quality of our food or this and its role in our health. People then need to understand just how much a part of all of this he then is and hold him accountable now as well. Monsanto and big ag in general have had too much of a hold on our government for far too long and that goes against everything the Founding Fathers spoke plainly and rightly about. If Obama won't stand up for the people on this, then we will simply have to stand up and include him in the group we are standing up to.

What a great idea to put all these stories into one thread. Your ideas never cease to amaze me.

I've learned so much about this because of you JanforGore. Now my girlfriend wants to grow a garden! This should be featured on the frontpage.

Thank you, and it is for sure all connected. Changing our food policy is indeed the best healthcare plan we could have.

Jan, Thank you for being so diligent in your drive to get this information out to the public! Our food is the basis of our health. Our poor food is killing our health and our poor heath is killing our economy. It's time to change things, now or never.

I don't understand either how any agency in this country can allow something like this to happen with no testing whatsoever.

This is like a sci-fi movie with a mad evil genius plotting to destroy the world, but it's not, it's much worse.

IT'S REAL!

Thank you JanforGore, great information guide you are creating. I did a very quick google and found this information link about GE Eucalyptus Trees. It covers some important details.

(taken from the link I put in my comment)

"Eucalyptus grandis, one of the species of eucalyptus used in the GE eucalyptus hybrid, is also a known host for the deadly pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus gattii. Cryptococcus gattii can cause fatal fungal meningitis in people and animals that inhale its spores. This fungus was previously found only in the tropics, but has recently been found in British Columbia in Canada and in the Pacific Northwest U.S."

I wonder what life would be like if Monsanto (or companies like them) did not exist? They manage to take paradise and turn it into a creepy horror show.

I cannot say thank you enough for your contributions and extreme patience for your continual education and updates on this very serious matter...

Our government is clearly owned by monsanto along with a few other multinational corporations - their PR machine possesses mastery in double speech, fork tongue, and manipulation. Their money buys a lot of people in the courts and Washington DC.

Did you see that Bayer agreed to end the use of endosulfan upon receipt of masses of underwear (although lets face it, they are not stopping until the end of 2010, which will enable them to keep spreading endosulfan about the planet, and they surely will not suffer financial consequences by waiting that long, meanwhile, back at the ranch, people's health is still in jeopardy...)

It is frustrating to watch monsanto move forward, what can millions of us do beyond the petitions and letter writing, beyond boycotting (we need more farmers to do so), beyond supporting the documentaries made on the subject... I know they do not care about us or this lovely planet earth and will not be easily moved from their psychopathic position... but surely there must be something?
