 This means that monsanto in effect owns these associations. Because these associations are dependent on the money they receive from monsanto, they have made a deal with monsanto to not criticize aspartame to the food industry and, more shockingly, they are actually required to endorse Monsanto's products! Can you see why you can never believe anything you hear from any of these "associations"? |

 The agricultural products manufacturer monsanto is doing exactly that. In January 2005, monsanto announced it will buy the commercial fruit and vegetable seed company Seminis. The deal is said to be worth $1.4 billion. Once the majority of the world is using gene-manipulated seeds to grow their crops, the man-made Frankenstein foods will take their toll on human life. The aim of the wealthiest and most influential group of people in the world is to drastically reduce the size of the world's population. Why? |

 Schmeiser did not deny that his 1998 crop contained plants that had grown from Monsanto's super-canola seeds, but he claimed that the company's seeds had trespassed on his land by one of three possible routes. The conventional seed he bought from the store might have been contaminated. Seeds could have fallen off a passing truck carrying a neighbor's GM canola on the way to market and landed on his farm. Or genetically modified canola pollen from a neighboring farmer's land could have been borne on the wind, or carried by bees, and pollinated his conventional crop. |
| Books and pamphlets on display there included The Violence of the Green Revolution, Biopiracy, The Future of Our Seeds, and Monsanto: Peddling "Life Sciences" or "Death Sciences." Among the books sat jars of traditional Indian rice varieties.11 Appearing at international conferences on biotechnology in her flowing orange saris, Shiva had become a cult figure in the war, beloved by the antibiotech forces for her ability to ignite an audience's passions with her Gandhian-style rhetoric. |
| Like monsanto, Calgene sought some kind of governmental seal of approval to ease the tomato's move into the marketplace—if possible a separate declaration from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that their tomato was safe to eat. The company was not worried that their new tomato was unsafe, since they were not inserting a new gene or making any new protein. Quite the reverse, in fact. They had stopped protein from being made by reversing a gene. But both Calgene and the FDA were on trial as far as the public was concerned. |
| As a result, the promoter was present in virtually all the first transgenic food plants to come out of the biotech laboratories. monsanto, the first company to grasp the potential of the superior power of the cauliflower connection, in 1984 applied for an ambitiously broad patent claiming rights to any gene cassette containing the 35S. The claim was granted a decade later— just as the first transgenic food crops were emerging from the biotech laboratories. |
| By the end of 1999 the greens were declared the winners of the first round against monsanto. The company's fall was hard—from market leader to stock price slump amid rumors that the corporation was going to divest some of its holdings. The cranky minority, as Shapiro had once seen the protesters, had turned out to be much more powerful than he had imagined. Billions of dollars later, Shapiro's idea of the life science company with agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and nutrition all under one roof was coming unstuck.
Leaders in agbiotech were merging and consolidating. |

| The supposed saving of $ 1 billion represented the estimated extra cost to GM farmers of using alternative weed killers to Monsanto's Roundup. But, he argued, farmers who don't use Roundup find other, cheaper ways of controlling weeds, including tilling their fields. According to Benbrook, Roundup users probably only break even on GM soybeans.10 The Bt corn figures were right, but one variety's gain represented less than 1 percent of the 250 million tons of corn grown each year.
Overall, it would appear the gains have been marginal. |

| The method of gene manipulation may even lead to more serious consequences than "just" a painful joint disorder. When monsanto inserted the Brazil nut gene into soy, people allergic to Brazil nuts suffered anaphylaxis from ingesting a soy product. Anaphylaxis is a serious, life threatening reaction where one is not able to breathe. monsanto was ordered to remove the gene to avoid further complications of that nature.
The process of genetic engineering of food often involves the use of a live virus, small enough to enter cell nuclei and, thereby, infect other genetic material. |

 For the sake of maximizing corporate profits, the monsanto corporation is willing to place the very future of humankind at risk. But it's no surprise to learn monsanto is behind this crime against nature -- this is the same corporation that tried to patent the pig, claiming it owned the genetic code of hogs. This is also the same corporation that promoted aspartame to the world by purchasing a company called Searle, whose CEO was a man named Donald Rumsfeld. |

 Falsification and manipulation by monsanto since the 1960s of data on dioxin and its contamination of products, including the herbicide Agent Orange, designed to block occupational exposure claims and tightening of federal regulations. This evidence was detailed in 1990 by Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Criminal Investigation which charged monsanto with a "long pattern of fraud" and with reporting "false information" to the Agency.
Fraudulent claims by monsanto since 1985 that genetically engineered (rBGH) milk is indistinguishable from natural milk. |

 A good example of this is monsanto, which developed the terminator seed -- one which will not produce viable seeds after the first generation, thus forcing farmers around the world to buy seed from monsanto year after year. This sets up a situation where the farmers of the world have only a single season of seed. If something goes wrong in just one production sequence, we have global famine on your hands -- all because they are willing to protect intellectual property for corporate profit. |

 FDA (meaning safe for use in foods); governments continue to use taxpayer dollars to subsidize the growing of genetically engineered corn (coated with monsanto herbicides, by the way); and the FDA continues to insist that the U.S. public has no right to know which foods are genetically engineered because it might "confuse them."
That's how the U.S. government views the average American these days -- as a stupid, misinformed "feeder and breeder" who has no capacity to read labels or make informed decisions about what's in their food. |

 When these farmers save seeds from one generation to the next, which of course is a practice that has taken place throughout the history of civilization, monsanto sues these farmers and prevents them from saving those seeds.
The idea, from Monsanto's point of view, is that it wants to force farmers to buy these genetically modified seeds with each successive generation. So, now it is indeed illegal to save these seeds, and if you don't play ball with the company that claims to own them, you're going to find yourself in court, or even in jail. |

| In 1990, monsanto scientists developed recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), also known as recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST). Cows injected with rBGH every two weeks produce 10 to 20 percent more milk than untreated cows. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in late 1993 approved rBGH use in cows and declared the milk from rBGH-treated cows to be safe. However, this approval and declaration have been extremely controversial, as there are many unresolved safety issues. While Europe, japan, and Canada have banned the use of rBGH, according to monsanto, more than a quarter of U.S. |

| REPPED: Corporations like monsanto are playing God with the food supply. Did you ever wonder what happens when all the genetically modified, pesticide-compatible, gene-terminated, laboratory-concocted Frankenfoods end up genetically contaminating the natural crops we depend on for a sustainable food future? In a new CounterThink cartoon published today, I explore this important concept by showing the plight of a farmer fretting over an empty bag of seedless watermelon seeds.

 Irina Ermakova added flour from a GM soya bean - produced by monsanto to be resistant to its pesticide, Roundup - to the food of female rats, starting two weeks before they conceived, continuing through pregnancy, birth and nursing. Others were given non-GM soya and a third group was given no soya at all. She found that 36% of the young of the rats fed the modified soya were severely underweight, compared to 6 per cent of the offspring of the other groups. More alarmingly, a staggering 55. |

 Both Hungary and Poland have refused to approve the cultivation of seventeen different monsanto lines of genetically modified corn seeds. Across Europe, 166 regional governments have instituted safety provisions so strict that these regions — from small rural districts in Italy and Poland to an entire province in Austria—are, in effect, GMO free.
At the same time, regions are striking independent trade deals as a means of ensuring that no GMO products enter their territory. |

| Hacking away at those monsanto cornstalks, France's "voluntary reapers" had stumbled unwittingly onto an essential link between their rising fury at what they fear, and the fate that is already befalling American farmers.
The phenomenon is not limited to corn. Other genetically engineered crops in the United States include canola, rapeseed, tomatoes, and lettuce. In the fall of 2006, Strategic Diagnostics, Inc. heard some more good news for the company: they'd be gaining a new set of farmers interested in their testing technology. |

 The reporters went on to interview two Canadian regulators who charged monsanto with offering them a $1 to $2 million bribe for approving the drug without further testing. Fox Television news killed the story after the station received aggressive threat letters from monsanto attorneys. When the reporters were then fired, they pointed out that monsanto was a client of a major advertising company owned by Fox chief Rupert Murdoch, whose stations advertise monsanto products nationally. |

 Even crazier, monsanto, a U.S. corporation, has sued companies for labeling their milk as "hormone-free," claiming that this explanation "confuses consumers" by giving them information. That's how corporations view consumers, by the way: Idiots who should be told what to do and provided the least amount of information possible. (All U.S. food and cosmetic labeling laws are, in fact, designed to mislead consumers and prevent them from learning about what's really in their food and personal care products.)
Lots of countries have also, from time to time, banned the importation of U.S. beef. |
