Farm and food: Monsanto's prices to rise on RoundUp and seeds

here is a good website about monsanto and some things to avoid, not to mention what they are up to.

BOYCOTT ALL MONANTO PRODUCTS! They are the world leaders in Genetically Engineered & Genetically Modified food sources upon which all humans subsist. As they go global with this strategy, they are truly one of the most dangerous companies in the world as they attempt to monopolize the very essence of survival - legal ownership of patented single use seeds to grow our food, and unbelievably, must be purchased from Monsanto every year in order to plant your next crop.

If you haven’t seen the documentary “The Future of Food” (or even "The Corporation") yet, I strongly urge you to do so. If I didn’t know that Monsanto’s goal of global food manipulation, distribution & ultimately complete crop control is perfectly legal, I would have thought this reaching the level of science fiction. However, this is one powerful & evil company that has Washington D.C.’s politicians, regulatory agencies & lobbyists in all their pockets.

Don’t be fooled or misled, Monsanto is one of the biggest scum-sucking parasites ingratiating its way further into everyone’s daily life whether you are aware of it or not. Their logo should be the CEO with horns, a pointy tail & carrying a pitchfork in order to prod you into becoming a consumer of their products. Do not underestimate or do business with this company-you will only empower them to overpower us.

Try to shop with as much awareness as possible, thinking about who ultimately gets your money, because it’s truly the only immediate defense we have until the right people are in the right positions to stop this evil empire. They will stop at nothing to keep any competitive products-usually organic & safe-off of store shelves in order to push their toxic products on a society too busy to notice, in most cases, without the publicity of well meaning organizations & CURRENT’s relentless search for the truth.

Another greedy American corporation screwing the world. No wonder people don't like America. From what I understand there are some great strides being made by Canadian and U.S. farmers not using chemicals. I hope this grows and Monasnto dies on the vine.

if everyone stops supporting them , then maybe they will go out of business..

So wait, once organic food is less expensive than non organic does that mean it will be more available in restaurants and I can stop packing food with me everywhere I go? Brilliant! And maybe people will stop picking on me for shopping at what they call, "Whole paycheck". (Wholefoods) I'd rather spend more for better tasting, quality, safe foods anyway.
Nanny nanny boo boo Monsanto!
Bad thing is Pandora's box is already open : (

Wake up people.... there's only one end to the path this is going down.... government controlled food supplies and government controlled water supplies.

While the environmentalists fight over natural resources and air quality these guys are sneaking around the back creating legal precedence to control you even more.

Thanks for keeping up this topic JanforGore.

Become Localvores, support your organic seed companies!

Why anyone would believe that weed killer absorbed into food we eat is a good thing, I will never understand???

here is a quote regarding that:

"In fact, while Roundup and similar products were originally used against weeds, 'they have become a food product, since they are used on GMOs, which can absorb them without dying,' maintains the biochemist Gilles-Eric Séralini. A member for years of the French Commission on Biomolecular Genetics (CBG) [and also a member of Criigen], responsible for preparing the files for requests for field studies, then GMO commercialization, he ceaselessly demands more intense studies on their eventual health impact" [42].

Heck Jan, this could be a blessing in disguise. If we can't get product information labeling in place, we'll be able to tell which ones are using GMO anyway. Just look for the can of corn that's marked $12.35.

Good, maybe then people won't buy their trash chemicals and they'll go out of business... Oh wait, big gov & big business are always there to bail each other out. I guess it's all up to us.

There's always hope. Education and information is the key. Hopefully with their prices going this high many farmers will see what it is all about and break ties with them.

I could be wrong but, I'm starting to sense that Monsanto is getting desperate to hold their ground.
One can only hope that the bully, for the first time, is feeling vulnerable,

“Even the list price on seed corn will topple the $300 per bag barrier starting this fall, up about $95 to $100 per bag, or 35 percent on average, according to Monsanto officials…”

Exploitive bastards. Taking advantage of farmers who cannot replant their monster seeds.
