Bill Gates and Monsanto
Just listened to a video clip about Bill Gates partnering with Monsanto to bring GMO seeds to Third World countries. Our SIL was in Africa last year and was talking to the farmers who were saying that their whole way of life was being affected by the over growth of the seeding of the GMO seeds and they are losing their own staple food. Wonder where that will lead re health issues. Sounds like Bill Gates has unfortunately been misguided in his philanthropy. Why have so many countries banned GMO and yet North America is growing it so freely. And as our consumption of it goes down with more people refusing to buy it, then the exporting of it to the Third World goes up. Does this make sense for world health? And we wonder why the gov't refuses to support labelling of GMO ingredients. What could they be afraid of? Look for the labels that say GMO free. That is the only way that the conscious companies could get around the situation.
