The worst thing is how both sides of the aisle are completely in bed with Monsanto and for that matter big pharma. I posted last week about the Gov't changing recommendations for cholesterol in our diet. You know the the thing we have been told to avoid for over 2 decades ( and big pharma has made a fortune off of Statins), well low and behold you only get about 10% of your blood cholesterol from your diet. Oooops. Now it is no longer a nutrient of concern, and hell you would have thought I posted some hard core partisan rhetoric because I dared say that Gov't is was wrong about that, what else are they wrong about. NOT even mentioning political party and the best of the hacks came out to bitch about how its no big deal because I dared question Government.
Monsanto is bad news. And, NO side is willing to do anything about it. And, when you come out and question the things about Government that have failed to do their job and to protect the actual citizen, you get jumped on from both sides, when you point out that Gov't has said something is bad, which turns out not to be so, how far is it to think, maybe the thing they say is safe, is ALSO not so. Its ridiculous though.
And, the stuff about this being necessary to feed the population is ridiculous. The populations weren't starving because there wasn't enough food to feed everyone. We pay farmers not to produce for goodness sakes. Its that there were problems with distribution of the food we do have.
The problem is, like the human body, the environment is a very complex system designed to work in natural concert with each other. Every aspect has its own job to play. When you screw with one thing, you screw with other things down the line. I think we can not even begin to grasp what this kind of damage this product has done to the environment and our health.
