Re: The Dangers of Genetically Modified Food (GMO)
Hi Tony,
I am a city product and have never farmed land. Never the less, it blows my mind to imagine that a Mosanto peddler would come to me (if I were a farmer) and asked me to poison my land so that it would grow nothing but the Mosanto stuf, if anything. I would be severely tempted to blow his/her mind out of their skull for good.
1) You grow stuff ressitant to herbicides you spread on your land, you can be sure to have poisoned crops and yourself along with your crops.
2) You do devil good, devil will pay you back with hell. Signing up with Mosanto at al, means that you make yourself not just vulnerable, but entirely exposed to their monetary and availability blackmail, which is sure to come sooner or later.
3) Once you have gone with the devil, and the devil pulls the plug on you, you will not be able to grow even your own food, never mind farming.
4) How long is it going to take, before the majority of the market is taken over by GM stuff and the organics will be outlawed?
BTW. Tiling is a similar evil.
a) You tile and you may benefit in a short run from having a semblance of control over the moisture content of your land.
b) You tile and you find out quite soon that the pretty much distilled rainwater has leached all the nutrients out of your fields.
c) You have to start fertilizing with whatever, but being lazy, or cheap, or having no other option, the fertilizers you use are artificial and they will soak your land through with poisons again.
d) You now cause poisonous run off into the surface water as well as the water table and started poisoning everything down stream and down the water table.
Are these things so difficult to figure out before hand?
With kind regards, Slavek
