The Future of Food 

This is the title of a very important film that exposes the serious world wide farm and food production crisis. The giant conglomerate Monsanto, who we can thank for producing most of the world’s pesticides and genetically engineered food, is systematically positioning itself to control all of the world’s food production.  

They have been allowed by our government to patent and to own most of the seed banks in North America. They have gone ahead with bringing genetically altered foods to the market place in spite of the majority of FDA scientist’s warnings that they pose potentially serious health risks.  Many scientists world wide are concerned that there is no way to predict what these modified genes could ultimately become. And worst yet, at this time, they are not required to label genetically modified food as such. 

Many European and Asian countries do not want America’s genetically modified foods. It seems they are more educated than the American public on the dangers, with no benefits, to genetically altered seeds and foods. There are an increasing number of American food products boycotts in these countries, which is creating a world wide economic crisis. 

We urge you to educate yourself on these issues. Go to www.thefutureoffood.com  and see if it is playing near you or buy the DVD.  The best way that we the consumers have to vote on these matters is with our consumer dollars. We can ask our grocers if they are selling genetically modified foods. We can tell them we don’t want to buy them.  We can write our congress people. We can challenge the right to patent seeds and living organisms. 

We as human being on this beautiful but increasingly fragile planet, face many new challenges, but none more important than preserving safe and healthy food production. We must stand up and make our voices heard before it is too late.
