Monsanto: The Multinational Company who owns the Soybean

 After watching Food Inc. it becomes very clear who is in charge of our nations food supply and how the traditional farmers role in society no longer is the same as it was decades ago. Farmers and their unique symbol in the history of america and the agricultural background this country has is being surpressed and controlled by multinational companies such as Monsanto. Agriculture as a business in worth so much money and it seems to me that those who can stack thier money higher can just do what they wish. Monsanto is a multinational biotechnology conglomerate that owns the genetic rights to such crops as sugar cane, corn, cotton, and soybeans. Here is thier offical site if you would like to check them out for yourself as well. I found a very interest picture on thier website i thought i would show everyone.

It seems as though as you read the statements on this picture it is quite odd why these things are being said. the Challenge:meeting the needs of today while preserving the planet for tomorrow. Really? Im pretty sure genetically engeneering our fruit, vegetable, beef, poultry,pork, and even the seed population is really dangerous. Not to mention that in Food Inc. we see how this multinational company is literally driving out people who dont want to be Forced to purchase from Monsanto and comply with there demands or face monumental monetary losses. I say this as if this is not happening in every other industry in the global economy. Are we really surprised that when Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas makes a move to fine farmers for stealing the property of monsanto he had previously worked for them and still held ties within the company. Uhh...Conflict of Interest is a situation in which a public official's decisions are influenced by the official's personal interests. Hmm, Ilegal...I think so. Thought I would just throw that conspiracy theory out there everyone to enjoy. Monsanto on the other hand looks like a great company to invest money in or to work with because they own the rights to things that people just should not be able to own the rights too.

 

This Video ABOVE is called the world according to Monsanto, great video that really gets you thinking about the food that we eat and the way it really affect everyone of us. You are what you eat and as long as we are eating Mansanto made products we will be consuming less and less of what the food originally was when our forefathers grew them and harvested them.



Food Incorporated: Curious about the food that you are eating?

I honestly love the documentaries section of NetFlix. I currently just watched the documentary Food Inc. Here is a trailer of the movie. It is absolutely interesting that as I eat this leftover chicken pasta from Redlobster I am shown pictures of a chicken factory that states that they rather pump my gourmet chicken linguini with hormones and be able to harvest the meat in 49 days then let the chicken live out its natural 3month life cycle. I also find it quite mind boggling that there is not a fruit or vegetable that you cannot find in one of your local markets. Has the world changed so much that the annual growing season no longer exists? The answer as you will find from the video is no...The writer of the book Fast Food Nation  says that in truth most of these vegetables are grown in diffrent parts of the world and chemically ripened such as green tomatoes ripened with ethaline gases.

Here is a direct link to the Food Inc. Website where you can purchase it on dvd and BluRay:

Top 4 Meat Companies in the USA- Tyson, Cargill, Swift, National Beef

Im going to do an overview of Tyson, since in the movie it seems that Tyson would not do any interviews with representatives whatsoever, also all of the Tyson chicken growers were told they it was in thier best interest not to be talking or showing there filmmakers the farms that they mantain and own. Lets see what kind of interesting things we can find.
