GMO
GMO labeling is a hot topic these days, but it's also a great distraction from another disturbing issue – the issue of food ownership. The more that the bio-engineering companies can keep us focused on the "safety" issue, which they can fight with their legion of paid scientists, the less people even contemplate the fact that these companies are slowing patenting our food supply. When they have finally wiped out our heritage (natural) food supply, they are going to literally own us. As farmers become more and more dependent on these patented seeds, and it becomes illegal for them to save and replant seeds from their own harvest, the bio-engineers will be able to set any price they want. They may even start suing home gardeners. Don't laugh; they've already tried (unsuccessfully) to enact laws that make growing your own food illegal. So even if you think GMOs are safe, think about how one day our entire food supply will be owned by a few mega food companies. In my mind, that is reason enough not to support them.
Book Excerpt
Thoughts on Life
Besides, even if they are found to be safe,
there’s another danger in GMOs.
One or two massive corporations will
own most, or all, the rights to GMO foods because
they are patenting them.
So even if you don’t think GMOs are unsafe to eat,
think about how one company may eventually own
the rights to our entire food chain.
I think that is even scarier.
