I hate Monsanto

[mrs premise]

I have just watched a documentary on the IFC called "The World According to Monsanto." It does not tell me anything that I did not know, but it drove it home. Monsanto is an evil company, but just adds to my complete disgust with my world. What I know is that I am a commodity. Bought and sold with no thought, I'm only as good as my last payment. I am low on the totem pole and easily expendable. It is not enough that I can't find a job that will pay me a living wage, but that the food I eat must be fake and make others lives a living hell. Whenever I think that it is as bad as it could be, I have it told to me that it can get worse. My planet is a Biosphere. I can't escape and I wish that I was ignorant. What you do not know can't hurt you, isn't that the saying? At least ignorance would allow me some peace.

1. so do i

but ignorance would not allow you peace. think teabaggers.

2. Well, I personally think Monsanto's evilness

is an allegory of man's search for commitment.









Forgive me. It's like a disease. :blush:

3. It only seems fair.

Monsanto hates your planet generally, and possibly you specifically.

4. Well stated.

I missed the documentary, drats.
I hope it contained information on alternative food shopping choices.

5. ...Using occult Republicon-style strategery, they have infected the world food supply

with their deviant, masked crapola.

Eat mutant, processed, chemicalized, irradiated, unlabled, corporate occult food-product facsimile crap at your own risk -- or at your children's own risk.

6. Well, I hope that this article.....

...that I somehow missed earlier, will make you feel a little bit better: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8308903.stm">BBC October 15, 2009 - "France Finds Monsanto Guilty Of Lying"

The Monsanto founder John F. Queeny: <----- Evil Incarnate



- Of course these people and this whole company are all really the Spawn of Satan. And should be treated accordingly. Chemical Robber Barons and fucking Mad Scientists who should all be locked the fuck up!

7. It's so hard finding seeds that are not corporate owned

But this spring, my garden will NOT have any hybrids in it.

10. Saw it- wish it was required viewing

It was made about 5 years ago, and the existence of farmers markets
has grown exponentially since then- So many people are becoming
aware of the situation, and are taking steps to control what they
consume.

12. What this?

Good news? :)

11. Yep. It was on the Sundance Channel last night....

..... I didn't really need anything to convince me to hate Monsanto. The film was just a reaffirmation.

[LWolf]

13. So do I, and I don't say that lightly.

I try very hard not to hate anything, or anyone, since I think hate is a destructive energy.

Monsanto is one I can't get past.

[ensho]

14. so do I - they are criminals
