Exposed: Europe's GMO hype in times of food and fuel crisis

My favorite part of your post, by far, would be the irony behind the name..."Alliance for Abundant Food and Energy"(lobby group for ethanol)

I am glad that you stated Cellulosic ethanol and hemp are actually the two types of biofuels you support.

When I find out more about Mansanto, I think of the movie The Constant Gardener "a conspiracy more far-reaching and deadly than people could ever have imagined."

nmsamanda: I agree. I don't like using the term "biofuels" in this regard because not all biofuels are bad ... it is basically corn ethanol that is the problem, and that is the one type of biofuel coincidentally being pushed by Monsanto, Archer Daniels Midland, Cargill, etc. Cellulosic ethanol and hemp are actually the two types of biofuels I support, and I also agree that the media at the behest of oil and coal interests have used the word biofuel as a panacea to paint a negative picture of all of them. Just like Monsanto now uses its lobbyists in Dc and PR groups to talk up GMOs when they already know the negative health effects of them. Profit is the bottomline to them and their frankenfood is definitely substandard.

I could guarantee that if a candidate's healthcare plan actually centered around this and we could truly change the quality of our food to get all the crap out of it people on the whole would experience better health. I am convinced that GM foods and all the other chemicals dumped in them are one of the causes for the obesity, Type2 diabetes, allergies, Morgellon's Disease, and other diseases we are seeing in epidemic proportions now. How much of the GM food we eat still has their Roundup pesticide attached to it? And that is also why I think that information has been stifled.... Monsanto is also in the pharmaceutical business, so they not only make money off feeding people crap, they get to make money off the medicines people are prescribed for their ailments. Kind of like a company that controls the virus and the antedote for profit. Just imagine the billions raked in by the pharmaceutical industry yearly more than likely due to people becoming ill from the food they eat.

Biofuel is a buzz word. Methane and waste grease fuel are biofuels are they starve no one. I feel that the media has used the word biofuel as a blanket statement to damage the research that is being done to find new fuels. I am intrested to know how many people who own television networks invest in oil futures. By the way who makes fuel out of rice? I must agree with your anger at monsanto though. I believe they are poisoning us all with substandard foods!!

THA FUTURE OF FOOD (2004) follows in the illuminating footsteps of THE CORPORATION (2003) & is one of the most eye-opening movies regarding GMOs & Monsanto’s evil quest for ultimate control of the world’s food supply. Monsanto’s profit driven wicked ways of industrial agriculture have even been rewarded by the U.S. Patent Office’s first ever granting of patents for organic matter found in nature-seeds. However, these genetically engineered single-use seeds require farmers to repurchase them for the following planting season, quietly increasing its monopoly of our food supply.

The resulting crops have now been linked to freakish health conditions like Morgellon’s disease & skyrocketing reports of various food allergies from these “Frankenfoods” in otherwise healthy people. There is no greater critical time than right now to go organic whenever possible. Starting your own garden or buying locally from established farms committed to the same philosophy is our immediate defense against the growing scourge of gov’t backed companies like Monsanto.

This is the reason why corporate shills also push against solar and wind power... they want open fields to grow their GM corn ethanol to make lots of money for themselves and to sell it to developing countries in "food aid" without the people eating it knowing its real health effects. They don't care how many people starve in the developing world because of ethanol or being beholding to buying their seeds every year along with their toxic pesticides that put many farmers in debt or worse.

This is why GM maize is being pushed so hard. Not to "feed a starving world" but to feed their profit sheets under the guise of a "food crisis" when we really have enough conventional crops in this world to grow enough food for everyone... the power struggle between the few elites who own it all and those who continue to fight for justice and equality however, keeps food from many in the places where food should be bountiful in order to control them... Somalia and Haiti just two examples. And make no mistake about it, the World Bank is in collusion with Monsanto and other giant agribusiness companies to continue to push a food crisis to get their GM crops into Europe, Africa, and everywhere else. They already made it into China as well.

When any one company has that much leverage and power unto themselves where your life depends on their actions, it is time to stand up against them. This is truly an important issue. When you control food you control the populations... this is the new world order.

Why doesn't someone like Michael Moore make a movie about this?

This is so crazy.Monsnto is so evil. I can only hope that some day there is enough available information for everyone to boycott them.
