The World According to Monsanto


"On March 11 a new documentary was aired on French television (ARTE – French-German cultural tv channel) by French journalist and film maker Marie-Monique Robin, The World According to Monsanto - A documentary that Americans won't ever see. The gigantic biotech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years."

Round-Up = Cancer? Check out the study at minute 16:30.
The issue of Substantial Equivalence in justifying GMOs at minute 24:00.
The Revolving Door effect of private sector experts moving into government positions at minute 44:00.

So, they start by discussing Round-Up and Round-Up Ready Soybeans, and then move into r-BGH. I made it to minute 50, and I've got to take a break...I'll add more notes if I get back around to it:)
