Fed Up! Genetic Engineering, Industrial Agriculture, and Sustainable Alternatives. About 70% of the food we eat contains genetically modified ingredients and is not labeled. The biotechnology industry is spending million a year to convince us that this technology is our only hope for feeding the world and saving the environment. Family farmers are disappearing at an astonishing rate as people continue to go hungry both here and abroad. Using hilarious and disturbing archival footage and featuring interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials and activists, FED UP! presents an entertaining, informative and compelling overview of our food production system from the Green Revolution to the Biotech Revolution and what we can do about it. An issue that has entered the mainstream media in a lot of countries (noticeably not really in the US) is Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM) of food. A lot of food that we eat today contains genetically modified ingredients and usually without our knowledge. Supporters of this technology maintain that it ensures and sustains food security around the world as the population increases. As time goes on, the science behind genetic engineering is no doubt improving. Biotechnology could be the wave of the future and genetically modified foods could really provide alternatives to help increase food production. However, there is a growing wave of concern from citizens, farmers and scientists who question the way the …

What on earth is Monsanto trying to pass off as Organic?
You are aware that Monsanto does not sell food, eh?
Les
@CouldNotCareLes Organic Food is not the Scam , companies like Monsanto trying to pass off as Organic Is The Scam.
DO SOMETHING THEN!spread organic heirloom food seed far and wide, its called”johnny appleseed economics”or”gorrila gardens”,spread more organic food than GMO and you will water down the effects and if everyone becomes self suffcient at their homes it will stop GMO right in its tracks,if there is enough people it will save our food system,thats how you win! wake up everyone,do your part if u are angry,get seed and make a organic revolution your way.SPREAD THE ORGANIC SEED EVERYWHERE TELL OTHERS
Please read this book to understand who is behind christian destruction,who are our number one enemy,the Synagogue of satan(Revelation 2:9,,3:9).

@connielane – I don’t know about GMOs in Organic foods, but Whole Foods sells USDA certified Organic vegetables that were grown (likely in toxic sludge) in third world countries.
watch?v=JQ31Ljd9T_Y
The “Organic” label is owned by the USDA and means that the produce has not had anything else sprayed on it other than the 19 synthetic pesticides that have been approved by the USDA for use on “Organic” crops … 19 approved synthetic poisons!
“Orgainic” is a scam by the large food corps
Les
@TheSkullBreakers Really? How about some verification for all that . . .uh. . information.
@connielane Even Organic foods can have GMOs in it the only way to be safe is to move to places like Europe that have banned GMO foods, also, some foods say GMO free, but it’s almost impossible to find them.
@zzzIdividedbyzerozzz You certainly have a superior attitude! How does one, such as yourself, ever learn anything when they think the know it all?!!! Too bad, so sad! “you people” sounds so racist!
@connielane I don’t base my views on poor educational videos and emotions as you may do, I base it off stat and numbers. Efficiency and effectiveness is all I care about. I don’t waste my time hating on the government or big businesses for the world’s problems the regular people are just as much at fault. Brainwashing? I love how you people use that term, oh and “Wake Up” is also another good one, makes me laugh. Reality isn’t a conspiracy,.
@zzzIdividedbyzerozzz Really? Have you ever heard of propaganda, brainwashing and BS for profits? Stop watching TV and see how your research changes as reality breaks through your programming. Try researching with truth this time!
@CouldNotCareLes I thought it was French for “my saint”! No?
@connielane says, ” Look at the name, mon santo, why do you think they chose that name for their corporation?”
According to Ancestory dt com, the name means ‘sacred mountain.’
I guess Monsanto was the founder’s wife’s maiden name.

It’s may be too late but find out who your Senators are are SCREAM NO on Senate Bill 510!! They will vote on it any day, Monsanto engineered it, calling it a “Food Safety Bill’ it falls under the the jurisdiction of Homeland Security, AND IT ROBS US OF VIRITUALLY ALL NON-GMO FOOD CHOICES because it will make Organic farming and the saving of real seeds disapear. I’m not religious, but this bill is so evil it sounds like something out of the Old Testament. Pertains to meat as well= antibiotics
DONT READ THIS Cause It Really Works. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY…….. SERIOUSLY QUIT POSTING SPAM SEE HOW ANNOYING THAT WAS.
do not confuse natural selection with genetic modification, it is not the same thing at all.
The battle continues with a new genetically altered salmon that is getting ready to hit the markets! Sign the Say No to Frankenfish petition!
Monsanto stands for ” Mental Order Not Sane A Non Trustworthy Organisation ” GMO foods lead to hormonal imbalance and Infertility
This is why we need strong regulations and watchdogs that force corporations to behave ethically and responsibly. When you allow corporations to practice free market ideals, their primary concern is strictly making profits and not the health of the american people. Corporations NEVER act, of their own volition, in a responsible manner and here we have yet another ex.
What kind of world are we leaving our kids. I wonder if autism has anything to do with prenatal exposure to GMO thu the mother
@thewebmaster93 “Just because we are hungry does not make us accept food which we do not like,” said Mr Mpepereki, Soil Science professor at the University of Zimbabwe.“In any case, I do not think that our hunger is so desperate that we can mortgage the long-term future and purity of our farm produce. Hunger is not permanent.”
People are starving for many other reasons, mostly economic- Not because of a lack of Genetically Modified food.
@AStrangeTestSubject you may have confused me with someone else,as i am anti-GMO food,so I think we’re on the same page there. I don’t disagree that development is manipulation of the environment, either. I just wonder at how we would accomplish this population reduction.it’s one thing to say we need to learn to stop procreating so much ,and to point out the ill effects of growth. It’s another to advocate forced sterilization or genocide.not saying you do, just asking what the solution may be.
The following posts are directed at dgbassassassin. ..in our world. For example, there are fewer trees but more human buildings. This is because we took the matter (i.e. the wood) that made up the tree and used it to build a house. Matter cannot be truly created or destroyed, only recycled. So, everytime another baby is born, it has to eat and so it will be taking up some of that finite amount of matter that makes up the world to feed itself, etc. What I am getting at is, if the population…
@dgbassassassin I agree with your points. Yes, the world is in a messed up place due to economic and environmental manipulation (which, by the way, the GE foods you praise in your previous post count as). Now, I don’t know how much of an education you have, but I have been through university and let me tell you a little something about the conservation of matter. This will take a few posts to explain, so if you are interested then check them out.
@AStrangeTestSubject so, what? one child policies? a central ruling authority determinining who can breed and who cannot? what would the criteria be for a breeding license? who’s going to enforce such things? the world is starving because of economic and environmental manipulation by the elites, not because there are too many people. This line of thinking goes down a dark road–one that leads to concentration camps and genocide.
@thewebmaster93 Yes, but just wait until the population keeps going up until we can’t sustain it. What happens when the population goes up to 9 billion or 12 billion? Raping the earth for all it’s resources and breeding out of control until l it can no longer sustain us isn’t the answer. The answer is organic farming in smaller communities; if that requires that we have a smaller population, so be it. People need to learn to stop bringing forth children into an already starving world.
