I haven’t seen this yet, but have already changed my family’s eating habits because of things I’ve read.

Great site, so much to read up on!

That is exactly why we buy local grass fed beef and pork and why a friend is raising chickens for us. Grass fed beef is also a great source of omega-3s.

All. So. Scary. Thank you for the recap. I think I need to see it for myself (and take the hubby with me too)!

Delia, you have to remember that Monsanto was the company that created rBGH. It was the norm for a long time but now that consumers are aware, suppliers don’t want milk from cows treated with rBGH and many alternatives exist that are gaining popularity. I think it can happen again. If you want to avoid GMOs, buy organic. Organic foods can never be genetically modified.

I saw that movie also. I’m mentally scarred. I also saw King Corn a few days ago, so this documentary shouldn’t have come as such a shock to me, but it still did. I feel so helpless and powerless and I just can’t stop asking how in the world did this horrible system get SO far? Can we even reverse it? EVER?

The scary thing is that American companies like Monsanto are taking over vulnerable European countries, especially Eastern Europe where through the help of unscathed corruption they are giving farmers genetically modified seeds for free; like tomato seeds. They have no idea they are GMOs and so they plant them and the new tomato doesn’t have any seeds in it. So they end up being forced to become indebted to these companies and depend on their seeds. Police are chasing farmer’s from the historical farmers’ markets even if they have a legal right to be there. They end up being forced to sign contracts with the new mega super markets that are sprouting everywhere. It’s a SCRAY thing and I feel that much more helpless. Shame on all these money hungry people, shame on them!
