The World According to Monsanto
Submitted by Kelly Clayton on July 6, 2008 - 10:44amIn this documentary, journalist and film maker Marie-Monique Robin discusses her knowledge on the subject of one of the worlds leading bio-tech corporations, called Monsanto. This film also features interviews with farmers and their experience with Monsanto.
"They knew the truth from the very beginning, they lied about it, they hide the truth from their neighbors, they hide the truth in many cases from the government authorities, and when they did share information with government authorities that should of been acted upon, the government authorities instead of siding with the people who are being poisoned, sided with the company. They sided with Monsanto, it was outrageous, absolutely unforgivable."
-Ken Cook
"We received over 44,000 pages from the FDA's own files and they revealed that the FDA has been lying to the world since 1992 if not before, but they continue to lie and they are still lying, they claim that there is an overwhelming consensus in the scientific community, that genetically engineered foods are as safe as conventionally produced counterparts, and they claim there has been sufficient data to back up this consensus, both of those claims are blatant lies."
Q: "Do you think that the GM (genetically modified) crop can coexist with the crops of the small farmers?"
A: "No, we are sure it can't, they are two incompatible models that can't coexist. It's a silent war that eliminates communities in families of small farmers. In addition, it destroys the biodiversity of the country side, it brings death, poverty, and illness, as well as the destruction of the natural resources that help us live."
- Jorge Galeano, Paraguay
