Thanks for posting Jan, I actually caught it on your blog last night and viewed it, as usual she is so inspiring. I would love to see her in person. She is a true hero. I don't see how anyone can argue with stopping GMO after listening/watching her.
"Globalized industrialized food is not cheap: it is too costly for the Earth, for the farmers, for our health. The Earth can no longer carry the burden of groundwater mining, pesticide pollution, disappearance of species and destabilization of the climate. Farmers can no longer carry the burden of debt, which is inevitable in industrial farming with its high costs of production. It is incapable of producing safe, culturally appropriate, tasty, quality food. And it is incapable of producing enough food for all because it is wasteful of land, water and energy. Industrial agriculture uses ten times more energy than it produces. It is thus ten times less efficient."

She is receiving the Calgary Peace Prize next Wednesday ( she most certainly deserves a Nobel as well) so she will be appearing in Calgary. I too wish I could see her speak in person. She is so inspirational, knowledgeable, passionate and fearless on this most important topic.
