Comments on: Vandana Shiva On the Dangers of GMOs http://www.foodrenegade.com/vandana-shiva-on-the-dangers-of-gmos/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:52:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Vanessa Hill http://www.foodrenegade.com/vandana-shiva-on-the-dangers-of-gmos/#comment-964340 Vanessa Hill Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:47:17 +0000 http://www.foodrenegade.com/?p=793#comment-964340 Kathleen, Amen! I always see billboards and commercials about raising money for cures to illnesses like cancer, but then our society is so immersed with junk and fast food, GMO's, too many carbs and sugars, chlorine and fluoride in our water systems, and we think we can turn to a magic pill to make it all go away when we get sick. We all need to wake up and realize the answer is right in front of us. Stop believing that food corporations care about our wellness and take your health into your own hands. How to do this? Stay away from vegetable oils and anything in processed foods (or just stay away from processed foods) that have soy, corn, cottonseed, canola oils in them. Your body will thank you for it. Or, you can chance it, and possibly pay for it later. Better safe than sorry in my opinion. Kathleen,

I no longer get upset, I just look at the masses and I say to them, how can you be a healthy human, if you put chemicals into your body on a daily basis..And even more frustrating, you do not care, until you get a diagnois of Cancer...Thanks for this great site, I feel very welcomed here. And the knowlege is just amazing and so appreicated...Thank you from the bottom of my heart...

I found it quite upseting and since then have protested any GMO food. Between the use of E. Coli to penetrate a cell-wall, the instability of that genetically modified organism and the unknown reprocussions for our future generations everyone should be worried. Monsanto has sued small famers because cross contamination between their seed and unsuspecting crops. Not only that but members of the FDA, EPA, and department of agriculture have at one point held positions as monsanto board members. They are the guys who give the "ok" to monsanto and pass off their products.... seems a little to easy right. I actually saw a video about monsanto and GMO foods.

We invented the corporation to serve us, and now they have evolved into a monster with lives of their own, driven by humans but controlled by a very synthetic and dangerous logic for extracting gains at all costs, and with impunity. The definition of a "Corporation" the laws guiding it and enforcing it, must be made to accommodate human needs and human realities. The corporation lives within capitalism and thrives best in democracies. The corporation and a particularly American brand of vulture capitalism are the cancers of democracy and can only be treated in the courts. This is not a call to socialism or any other "ism" it is a plea to resolve legal difficulties within the system before the system itself is bled dry by the vultures from within. Monsanto and Bayer typify these cancers, but are not alone - the rape of Wall Street and the 401K system is witness to more cancer, as is the astoundingly high rate if inflation about to befall the U.S.A. and the world. Vandana Shiva is one of the first intellectuals to turn on the powers that be, and reveal the truth. Hope that more follow in other fields. If they do not, we are doomed to living according to the prescription of others who have only their own personal interests at heart, and are very powerful. Fear This! The enemy is the “Corporation”.

Dr. Shiva is so amazing with her background work with the farmers of India, training as a scientist, and immense care for other human beings. She explains so well the concerns we *all* ought to have about genetically engineered food. It's got to stop. <abbr><em>Rebecca/CUpS Thank you for sharing, Kristen!
