Video - The Future of Food

I think this video has been posted before, but it could be worth reposting:

The video is about GM food and things like that. One disturbing thing mentioned in the video is that the situation with 800 million people starving in the world is not because of food scarcity but because loans from the World Bank has forced poor countries to replace their crops for their own food with other crops that can be exported to the rich countries so that the poor countries can pay back the interest on the World Bank loans! If true, what a bunch heartless crooks there must be in power deciding things like that.

David Icke actually said something similar already many years ago about Africa having to grow cash crops for the wealthy nations/big corporations.

Here's an interview related to the above video:

They talk about the need to have labels on GM food. That would be a good idea. An alternative to that is to introduce a "GM Free" label. That could work well as well. Producers of GM free food would likely put such a label on their products. Isn't there already a label for GM free food? If not, then maybe it's time to come up with one.

I guess food labeled 'organic' is GM free. In Sweden it's called ecological food and there is a label called KRAV which means that the food is GM free and has not been grown using pesticides or artificial fertilizers. That's good. I think I will try to buy only organic food from now on.

Hopefully the labeling is trustworthy.

Its a good film. I use it on the DVD's I hand out. One of the most interesting bits is about how the Standards boards such as the FDA are loaded with corporate insiders so they can pass anything to turn maximum profit. And Monsanto Terminator Seeds are just an abomination! I stopped using Roundkill and other stuff due to that vid.

Ron Paul has talked about how corporate interests and big government go together. And yes, the Terminator Seed sounds like a horrible invention. What if that kind of seed takes over the whole world? Then farmers in all countries, poor and rich, will have to buy new seeds every year from Monsanto. One big monolithic monopoly corporation/cartel to rule them all.
