Everything that comes out of Monsanto’s mouth is a lie! They are single-handedly destroying this planet and it’s people. The only thing they care about is profit, at the expense of everything else. The big problem is that the majority of the population is totally oblivious to this atrocity! I’ve tried my best to warn people that these GM foods are poison, but they refuse to believe that these corporations and government have anything but their best interests at heart. We’re labeled conspiracy theorists and yet, more and more people (children) are getting Type II diabetes, cancer, heart problems and a plethora of other illnesses. I’m pissed off, big time and I have a suggestion for the next T. attack! Canada is not a democracy anymore – it’s a dictatorship. We are rapidly losing ANY choice in what we put into our bodies! Health Canada and the FDA are part of the problem. The only thing they listen to is $$$$$!

Monsanto’s practices are atrocious. Their flagrant disregard for the lives of the people who buy their products is evil. Severe restrictions should be applied to Monsanto. I hope that this corporation will be held accountable for their actions. They have made huge profits at the expense of the American people and lives have been lost because of their practices. Shame on Monsanto! Monsanto should be completely overhauled. They should be required to go completely green. No toxic chemicals should be allowed to be produced. There is much more that I could say. It’s leaders should be held up to public shame for their actions.Government has been too slow in protecting the well being of the land and its inhabitants.

Monsanto’s practices are atrocious. The company should not be allowed to continue business. Their flagrant disregard for the lives of the people who buy their products is evil. Severe restrictions should be applied to Monsanto. I hope that this corporation will be held accountable for their actions. They have made huge profits at the expense of the American people and lives have been lost because of their practices. Shame on Monsanto!

I just want to add one more thing: gee, all these chemicals and birth defects and cancer…There seems to be a correlation. Huh?

I am so surprised that Monsanto makes GMO’s now and turning a profit. As if they need to make anymore money after all the lawsuits that they received in Alabama for giving people cancer because of their illegal dumpings into the Tennessee River. Yes, I know these things because my father retired from this Company and I am so against Chemical Companies and their evil empire that’s destroying our bodies, animals, God’s creation without giving any thought to mankind and God’s creation…. There are repercussions to these attitudes which God says that he will destroy those who destroy God’s temple, (meaning the human body)….We should all read the labels very carefully and buy only organic if possible… There are ways to make the budget work in buying in bulk at Whole Foods….Let’s not buy anymore GMO things which are disguised in our foods. I know that even General Mills and regular Companies have sold out.

I watch Food,Inc and it was an eye opener, I never realized that the farmers have to buy Monsanto’s seed or can be taken to court. Farmers cannot save their own seed, because Monsanto has a patent on seed and you have to use their seed. What a crock…that a farmer in the USA cannot use their own seed. I felt so bad for the farmers trying to go against Monsanto, it was impossible. Most of the farmers either gave in and used Monsanto’s seed or went out of business. This really outraged me, because I try to eat healthy and had no clue that these seeds are contaminateing America’s food.I buy mostly organic when I can, but I’m sure these seeds travel and contaminate organic farmers. How in the world did this happen?

We should be more carefull about genetically modified products we do know enough about it’s effects on people, animals and the enviroment long term. How can a chemical such as roundup be safe to spray on crops? Roundup kills all vegitation, contaminates and kills fish in ponds and have you ever read the warnings on the package for humans? It is an asystamatic pioson which is now in the plant that we grew even if it did not kill the plant. Is that crop now safe for animals to eat or for humans to eat. I find it impossible to believe it could be safe and I pray that it has not gotten into the foods that may family and I eat. Something must be done for me I buy organic produce when ever I can get them.

Stop using R’up asap– we know it doesn’t break down into safe substances- it is very toxic–why would countries around the world not use it if it were safe and effective? Use your God-given brain, for goodness sake!

After watching “Food Nation” I have determined that Monsanto is a bully of a corporation that has no problem poisoning Americans and suing farmers into bankruptcy and oblivion. Monsanto should be shut down and its principals prosecuted.

Like Laurel, I have no money to give against Monsanto, but from what I have read about the abuse of farmers who do not use their seed I have nothing but anger toward the company and their practices.
I know people in our community who are very careful to know where their food comes from and are reluctant to eat anything that has been modified.
