My Merc/Ceres seems unable to leave this topic alone! It's good to know I'm not 'talking into a fan' haha</p> <p>Kashmiri, thanks for the link: that was a fascinating standoff and I'm glad Schmeiser (mostly) won. Gaia only knows what terrrible stress he and his wife went through for all those years...&nbsp; I've been sued, in a very small way, and I can't imagine what a mega-lawsuit like that would do to one's health. They so deserve the thanks of every decent, thinking person on the planet. </p> <p>I'm sorry that Monsanto wasn't totally crushed by the Supreme Court judgement. This guy's seed which he developed over 40 yrs is now lost to posterity. It's only - the way things are going - a matter of time before Monsanto win; they've bought most Third World farmers already. When they own the DNA copyright to all grain seed on the N American continent, what then?nd make no mistake: that IS their aim</p> <p>Those who have helped even partially to win this battle "... believe in the rights of farmers to save and reuse their own seed...a practice that Percy followed for 55 years"</p> <p>This is what humans have done for thousands of years. And now we are allowing one company, or a handful of companies, a total monopoly of the provision of seed. It's worse than a tragedy, it's suicidal.</p> http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/pluto-in-cap-the-food-supply#post-500573 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:12:03 +0000 Peppermint 500573@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <p>BP, I want to thank you for all the work and effort you've put into this and other threads about the manipulation of the world's food supply.&nbsp; I know that I have received great benefits from your efforts and my knowledge about this critical matter has expanded each time you've posted.</p> <p>I have been following this and other food-related issues for many years.&nbsp; I'm also very concerned about the 'energy calories'&nbsp;I am&nbsp;consuming every time&nbsp;I buy/eat foods (like tropical fruits, for example) that either do not originate in my locale or are out of season.&nbsp; The amount of nonrewnable energy resources that are used to get that food to my local grocery store is unbelievable and unsustainable, IMHO.&nbsp; Barbara Kingsolver's book, 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle' has some good information on this topic.</p> <p>Thanks again, BP.&nbsp; We are so lucky to have you here.</p> http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/pluto-in-cap-the-food-supply#post-500569 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:07:37 +0000 Kashmiri 500569@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <p>BP you may find the Monsanto vs. Schmeiser case of interest:</p> <p><a href="http://www.percyschmeiser.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.percyschmeiser.com/</a></p> http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/pluto-in-cap-the-food-supply#post-500560 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:02:44 +0000 Blessed Place 500560@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ <p>Tbis guy has now written a book on the topic, and speaks about it here: &nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theorganicview/2012/04/04/f-william-engdahl-gmos-eugenics-is-there-a-connection" rel="nofollow">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theorganicview/2012/04/04/f-william-engdahl-gmos-eugenics-is-there-a-connection</a></p> <p>The quote from Henry Kissenger is exactly what I keep banging on about...

Can you imagine the amount of herbicide they put on all those golf courses....</p> <p><a href="http://motherjones.com/environment/2011/07/usda-deregulate-roundup-gmo-tom-philpott" rel="nofollow">http://motherjones.com/environment/2011/07/usda-deregulate-roundup-gmo-tom-philpott</a></p> <p>From the article: </p> <p>"Long story short, it means that the USDA theoretically regulates new GMO crops the same way it would regulate, say, a backyard gardener's new crossbred squash variety. Which is to say, it really doesn't. But that's absurd. GM crops pose different environmental threats than their nonmodified counterparts. The most famous example involves the rapid rise of Roundup Ready corn, soy, and cotton, which were introduced in the mid-late 1990s and now blanket tens of millions of acres of US farmland. Spraying all of that acreage every year with a single herbicide has given rise to a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/04/business/energy-environment/04weed.html">plague of Roundup-resistant "superweeds,"</a> forcing farmers to <a href="http://truefoodnow.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/13years2009-fullreport-11-16-09.pdf">apply more and more Roundup</a> and also resort to <a href="http://www.globalpolicy.org/component/content/article/217-hunger/49198-superweeds-hit-farm-belt-triggering-new-arms-race-.html">other, far-more-toxic products.</a> Crops that aren't engineered to withstand an herbicide could never have created such a vexation."</p>
