Hay, Monsanto...

Some sources cite a "broad scientific consensus" that GM foods are safe to eat, and no ill-effects have been observed in humans. Other sources I've read have specified effects like cancer, infertility, and birth defects. The problem with trusting any source on the topic is that Monsanto is so involved in both government and food regulation, that the "science" behind GM foods is inherently faulty, and this conflict of interest obscures the truth. Either way, the actions of this corporation have been far from ethical, and their army of lawyers have struck fear into the hearts of simple farmers, whose lives have been turned upside down by the unbridled avarice of this powerful arm of the food mafia. While I don't want to be too quick to jump too far into any anti-GMO movement, as I don't think that GMO's are inherently immoral, I do believe that Monsanto is.
Here's a quick clip of my band rocking against Monsanto in Providence.

  1. This is a tough one. Obviously we would want to learn as much as possible before coming up with a strong opinion on the matters, but that's near impossible to do when Monsanto prevents us from learning as much as we need. They have their hands in so much that it's tough to see through the fog and make a clear opinion on the matter.
