Genetically Modified Permeation

In my quest to understand the global impact of profit before people with  the intrinsic link between pesticides,  fertilizers, genetically modified food and Cancer. Join me in learning about the Mind of Monsanto.





Mutations occur to form new organisms that survive to reproduce other organisms with mutating capabilities.  However when the food we need to live is deliberately altered into  a weapon of real mass destruction, then the power of good common sense must have the courage to communicate with calm.

Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution is a very deep, thought-provoking film, both serious and inspirational. Through the lens of one small village in rural France, it does an excellent job of exploring a number of extremely important issues.

Let the Children Learn


Thianda Manzara started Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids. The program teams with schools to teach children how to garden and eat the vegetables they grow.

Then I thought about coffee crops

Endosulfan is a persistent, toxic pesticide that travels long distances and impacts communities far away from the place of application. Endosulfan is used on various crops worldwide, but its largest uses are on cotton, tea and coffee. It is also used on vegetables, fruits and in forestry. Since the patent on it has run out, it is available cheaply on the market. It is a wide spectrum insecticide, not associated with any particular insect. Hence by using endosulfan, many non-target species, including humans, also get harmed. Endosulfan has caused severe poisonings and even death in many parts of the world. Pesticide Action Network (PAN) regional centers in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America are active in campaigning for a global ban on this toxic insecticide. Endosulfan related deaths and debilitation have included thirty-seven farmers dying in Benin, two boys dead in South Africa, flower workers poisoned in Colombia, and villagers in Philippines and India poisoned by the toxic pesticide.

Damn!!!
