My take on Monsanto, Genetically Modified crops, and compliance with natural laws!

And here it begins, or I guess it comes to the public eye. It was not enough that the last century brought all sorts of unsanctioned chemicals to the food chain. It is not enough that processed food widely replaced wholesome age old food in the biggest experiment humanity has ever witnessed.

Now, it is genetically modified food. I am positive that monsanto and other big companies who see profit in modifying crops and domestic animals will find a way to present "compelling evidence" about the safety and effectiveness of these modifications. I am also sure that the government will have some law compelling some agency to review the facts and make sure that the big corporations comply with standards they choose for themselves by themselves. I am also sure they will take to the airways and to the Internet touting the safety and greatness of modified food. After all the model has already been set by the pharmaceutical industry and has been working flawlessly since world war II and even before.

If the pharmaceutical industry can convince the FDA that any chemical is safe, rat poison included, then the food industry can find a way to convince the government and the public that manipulating DNA of plants and animals for profit is a good thing.

Just like many people who take pharmaceutical drugs daily suffer no consequences, many people who will eat genetically modified food will also see the same results. On the other hand, many other people will suffer dire consequences and lose their lives just like the horror stories we hear everyday about pharmaceuticals that turn out not to be as safe as initially thought. Need I give examples. I don't think so. Just read the newspaper and you will see for yourself, the recalls, lost lives and law suits.

So, should we be opposed to genetically modified food or just go with the flow and hope for the best. Well, the human body is adaptable. It can take all sorts of hits and still stand tall. This is a fact. Evidence of this truth is that the human body more or less has withstood all the chemicals in food and all the pharmaceutical drugs so far, rat poison included. This tremendous adaptability is the reason why not everyone who takes pharmaceutical drugs or eats processed food ends up dead. The success of unsanctioned chemicals in the food chain and at the drug store is a testament to the greatness of the human body and not to the safety and effectiveness of alien chemicals embedded in every venue of our lives.

However, in some cases, for some folks, their body is already maxed out adapting and these poor individuals suffer the brunt of it all. There are some folks who are so unfortunate that they can no longer adapt. These are the ones who end up dying or getting sick from pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Albeit a minority in society yet a significant minority.

Many drugs on the market today, are flat out toxins that should not be in use for anything other than pest control if that. Yet they are given to us as cures for this and that disease.. The fact that certain percentage of takers die from it is most often not significant enough for the policy makers to issue a recall. Except in a few occasions.

This adaptability of the human body has emboldened a whole industry that makes it's living betting against nature. As unfortunate as this sounds many folks are convinced that nature is somehow defective and should be constantly corrected in order to improve the lives of people. This is the crux of the subject and the biggest misconception of post-industrial societies.

It is like having a family and living peacefully in an independent home. Then suddenly an annoying and destructive and manipulative visitor shows up. He goes on disrupting your family's daily routine which you can accommodate. He then goes on to drain your resources with unnecessary purchases and you accommodate that too. He then goes on to sour your relationship with your spouse which you can find solutions for. He then goes on to limit your children's potential by corrupting their thoughts and leading them away from what is good and productive for them. And again you step in and correct the problems and patch the discourse. And the visitor is not done yet. Everyday he is creating a new brush fire for you to put out and the occasional big one that saps your energy and patience. Left unchecked he is likely to burn the house down and kill everyone in it.

My question to you is: when on earth are you going to kick the intruder out. When on earth are you going to wise up and know that this visitor is nothing but trouble. Nature, mother earth, natural laws are very accommodating and very generous. But do we have to test their generosity and their limits in our lifetime.

Wise up and stand up for anything and everything that threatens you and your families by making you depart from natural living. The next dust ball may bring destruction of unimaginable proportions if you don't.
