 Through the testimony of family farmers, ecological scientists, agricultural experts and numerous public documents, The future of food tells a horrifying, heart-stopping story of how Big Agriculture has sold out the future of human civilization for the almighty dollar.
The future of food is a compelling, eye-opening documentary that I consider a "must-see documentary" by anyone who eats food (which probably includes you). Even if you think you know everything worth knowing about your food, there's still a dark secret the biotech companies believe U.S. |

2. Shop for NON-GMO foods. Buy organic, and look for non-GMO labels on the foods you purchase. If you're not sure what's genetically modified and what isn't, rest assured that most of the brand-name products made by the largest food corporations contain one or more genetically modified ingredients. The most common are corn and soybeans. So buy food and food products from small, local companies or "natural" food manufacturers. Visit your local food coop. Eat local!

| It will not be an easy task, and it will require a lot of information and grassroots advocacy. The future of food is a great ally in this fight, and the Center for Food Safety deserves your goodwill and financial support. Please consider donating to this organization to help fund even more pro-consumer action that challenges the regulatory failures of the USDA, FDA and EPA.
Stay tuned to NewsTarget for more pro-consumer news. We're fighting to protect life on many fronts, including challenging Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Oil and Big Government. |
| See The future of food for yourself. And while you're at it, be sure to visit the Center for Food safety (www.centerforfoodsafety.org), a non-profit organization that's been doing the oversight job our own government should have been doing. But since the people who run the USDA, EPA and FDA are the very same people who occupy top positions in the most powerful agricultural organizations in the world, the U.S. government has no intention whatsoever to protect the public from financial exploitation by influential corporations (regardless of the cost to the future of life on planet Earth). |
But this documentary, The future of food can help educate consumers around the world and rally them to support an outright ban on genetically engineered crops in the food supply. After all, who wants viruses in their corn? Who wants the entire food supply owned and controlled by evil corporations that have clearly demonstrated they have no concern whatsoever for public health or sustainable farming?
. This was the first <a href = 'http://www.NaturalNews.com/NP/Time.html'>time</a> I had ever received an official invitation to make a contribution as an eco-gastronome and to exchange ideas with leading scholars, antiglobalization activists, and ecolo-gists from all over the world.</td></tr><tr><td width=99%>At any rate, this speech was followed by a series of typically ecologist criticisms and denunciations; the main focus of attack as far as the <b>future of food</b> was concerned was the damage caused by industrial systems of agriculture and the iniquities of international trade.
I listened with interest, but I was also impatient for them to start talking about food.</td></tr><tr><td width=99%>The members of the group, in their several fields and each through their own activities, are carrying on the work, more convinced than ever that it is time to create alternatives if we are to change, and save, the <b>future of food</b>. And gastronomes like me are part of the project.

THE POLITICS OF DISTRUST
We have seen that the narrowing of debate about food biotechnology to questions of safety has produced two unanticipated effects. The first is to induce outrage.</td></tr><tr><td width=99%><hr size=1><h1><a href='http://astore.amazon.com/wsdm-20/detail/074326763X/105-8338622-4040425' target='_blank'>Food, Inc.

In his 1798 Essay on the Principle of Population, the English clergyman Thomas Malthus foresaw an overcrowded future, a world with more people than food, resulting in global starvation and limits to the world's population. In those days, the earth's population was about 800 million. Today the population has grown to 6 billion, proving Malthus wrong, at least about upper limit to the number of human beings on the planet.</td></tr><tr><td width=99%><hr size=1><h1><a href='http://astore.amazon.com/wsdm-20/detail/0520242238/103-0300096-4258269' target='_blank'>Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism</a></h1>Marion Nestle<br><i><a href='http://www.naturalnews.com/np/Safe_Food.html'>See book keywords and concepts</a></i></td></tr><tr><td width=99%><a href='http://astore.amazon.com/wsdm-20/detail/0520242238/103-0300096-4258269' target='_blank'><img src = 'http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5147QQF4NPL._SL210_.jpg' hspace=12 border=0 height=105 width=81 align=left></a>CONCLUSION
THE <b>future of food</b> SAFETY
PUBLIC HEALTH VERSUS BIOTERRORISM
SAFE FOOD IS ONE OF THE GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS OF TWENTIETHcentury public health, a result of scientific advances in refrigeration, pasteurization, insecticides, and <a href = 'http://www.NaturalNews.com/NP/disease.html'>disease</a> surveillance. This book proposes that food safety also depends on politics. Any doubts about that idea should be thoroughly dispelled by the events of September 2001, when terrorists used airplanes as weapons of destruction and an anonymous correspondent sent letters filled with anthrax spores to civic and media leaders.</td></tr><tr><td width=99%><hr size=1><h1><a href='http://astore.amazon.com/wsdm-20/detail/074326763X/105-8338622-4040425' target='_blank'>Food, Inc.

None of the world's major crops is apomictic. When a <a href = 'http://www.NaturalNews.com/NP/plant.html'>plant</a> breeder produces a prize variety of, say, corn—handsome, high-yielding, and resistant to pests and plagues—and that corn plant has natural sex with its neighbor, the next generation is always slightly different, just as we are each a little different from our parents. The plant breeder yearns for some method of retaining the most desirable combination of genes in his prize variety year after year.</td></tr>
