The World According to Monsanto

Since it is my purpose to educate the readers of this blog (or at least provide you with something new to think about) without sounding too negative or condescending, I spend countless hours watching, reading, and learning before putting my thoughts down for the world to see.

Inevitably, I encounter tons of videos, cartoons, blogs, and articles created by intelligent people who are more eloquently versed on certain topics than I am. When I find this to be so, my blog's objective then becomes the vehicle for sharing others' work.

So, when you are ready to see the world through the eyes of one truly evil corporation, take some time to watch this recently created documentary about Monsanto, which includes a very informative interview with the former Secretary of Agriculture, Dan Glickman, who speaks of the pressures not to "question anything" during the intial development of the Round Up Ready crops and GMOs.

This documentary, by the way, was never intended to be shown to anyone in our country.

And why not you might ask? Well it is because here in America we have the government run FDA and EPA to protect us, right? And they would never let anything bad happen to the citizens of their own country now would they? Not even if a bazillion dollars (from some corporation like Monsanto) was dangling in front of their noses???....... Oh don't be ridiculous Lisa.
