Watching "the future of food". I'm literally nauseous.

Ok, so I'm safe from most of this because I don't eat grains, legumes, HFCs etc.. But they are literally destroying our food supply as our government helps them do it, and the consumer is blind to their actions. I watched this on netflix because of a recommendation, and am appalled.

I have considered Monsanto the devil since seeing Food Inc. This is far worse than I ever thought. Even if it is a completely one sided documentary (which many are) is still tells a frightening story.

    This film has literally been in my Netflix queue for years and I could never bring myself to watch it.
    But maybe since I have cleaned up my diet so well, I can stomach it.

    Please watch it. The fact that our seed supply not only is being controlled by basically one company - but that non-gmo seeds are becoming polluted with gmo seeds just because the winds blow. No way I want any of that crap in my body - and they are working to gmo all plants effectively.

    Thanks for suggesting this! I watched it this week. I have watched all the other ones before- and this was the only one I hadn't.

    I watched this two nights ago and I'm convinced that Monsanto is the devil. There are some huge ethical questions raised regarding trademarking life. It was absolutely atrocious, and to think that the FDA and other government organizations have a direct tie-in with this huge corporation just makes me sick to my stomach.
