Before it’s News – by Tom Dennen
Human beings, along with all other life on Earth, have been evolving together for some fifty million years in what is known as the Biosphere aka Planet Earth.
That means food is not only necessary for our life, but part of our genetic make up and raw, ‘organic’ food fits us like a glove or part of an infinitely small jigsaw puzzle, each piece fitting seamlessly at the mitochondrial cellular level.
But sh*t happens and it gets into the food chain, which is where the liver comes in – a giant de-tox factory that throws out the garbage (pity there isn’t one in Washington).
When the liver can’t handle all the crap, you get the Wal-Mart Generation… and people like the ones who run Monsanto want to make this worse… but things are happening to Monsantowhere it hurts, in the wallet – Tom Dennen:
“I was shocked to read a story in Canada’s highly conservative national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, a couple of days ago in which well-known investor and columnist Chris Umiastowski, P.Eng., MBA, warned of the risk in holding Monsanto stock. It was refreshing to read the views of an investor who is not just concerned about the bottom line but also the potential health and environmental risks in such a conservative paper. I knew that this was a victory-of-sorts for all of us who share a concern over the increasingly genetically-modified nature of our food supply.
In his column, “Monsanto: A food stock with a bad aftertaste,” he shares: “it’s just as important to know what stocks to avoid as it is to know which ones to invest in. Most growth trends don’t last forever and you don’t want to be stuck holding the bag when growth disappears or reverses.” Here is an investor who is recognizing the “battle raging between consumers and Monsanto” that could leave fallout for investors left holding the bag when consumers take back their right to know what is contained in the food they eat.
While labelling of GM-foods is not legally required in Canada or in the United States, consumer groups are gradually certifying an increasing number of foods as “GM-Free” as a way to take back a right that regulators are not recognizing that we deserve. Consumers are waging a peaceful revolution against Monsanto and other GM-food suppliers as well as the government agencies that turn a blind eye to the environmental and health ramifications of GM-foods and crops. As an aside: European governments have been more progressive in recognizing the human right to know when our food supply has been tampered with and many countries there consider labeling of GM foods standard practice.
