I keep thinking, why or how can anyone STOP this company!
I also own the video "The world according to Monsanto" but I'm not able to added because the file is too large. I think I'm going to try to send the zip file to Jennifer see what she can do.

This quite literally makes me feel sick as well as helpless. I can stop purchasing any seed from anyone connected with Seminis but that is nothing more than a wee tiny drop in the monstrously huge bucket. I am truly afraid of what I see happening - and it is happening so fast it is though we are being run over by an out-of-control freight train and we, as individuals, are not strong enough to even slow it down. Even if we "religiously" plant and grow 100% organic our plants can be contaminated with pollen from pollinators on the move or simply by wind. The monster has already been unleashed and it cannot be trapped and destroyed.

I think the only way we could make a difference, would be sharing the information, so more and more people become aware of what is happening to their food! Most people are not even aware of what it happening, or health, environmental and cultural implications this events have. Awareness/education can be the only tool we may have to fight this monster/evil. I truly believe this organization is evil (Monsanto).
In the net they are called monsatan and it fits!
If anyone want the video "the world according to Monsanto"just email me. I'll see if i can email the zipped file, not sure if zipped it is small enough to email. if not you can view the whole video at: http://wideeyecinema.com/?p=105
The youtube version is not edited right and there are huge gaps!
