Greed And Power Are Killing Us

Every once in awhile I will get on my soap box and get things off my chest. This is one of those posts. Some corporations are destroying us in many different ways and the only way to stop them is if we, as a society, say enough is enough.

Several years ago I was watching a segment on "60 Minutes" about the automobile industry. They reported that Ford was manufacturing cars that they knew had faulty tires. They also had issues with the gas tank being in a very precarious place which would cause the vehicle to explode on impact. Or was that Jeep? The point is that these companies knew it was dangerous for the car owner, but the actuaries calculated the cost of law suites and determined that it was cheaper to continue to manufacture the car with these defects. How scary is that? They figured that they would have to pay out millions in law suites and that was still cheaper than the safety of our citizens who purchased one of those cars.

Now let's turn to the food manufacturers. One in particular comes to mind and that is Monsanto. They are the largest supplier of GM (Genetically Modified) seeds in the world. One of their top vice presidents is now in charge of the FDA and I have to ask, "Is that a coincidence"? What this company is doing to our population is criminal and yet very few people are screaming about their tactics.

I guess I first have to tell you what they are doing because most people have no idea that they are eating food that contains the most harmful chemicals that are in our society. When you genetically alter the seed of the corn and soybeans that goes into just about ever product we consume, you are playing with fire. Imagine injecting bacteria and viruses into the seeds so they will be able to resist the powerful chemicals such as Roundup? That is correct, when farmers spray their fields so weeds and other organisms don't attack the crops, the crops still grow. Huh? Yes that is exactly what I said. You can't wash this stuff off once you get it home because it is in the seed!


The trouble I have with this is that proper testing is not being done and if it is, the reports are being altered in favor of the manufacturers. Many scientists have done studies in their labs and have found that these GMOs are having terrible effects on lab mice and rats. Infertility is one of the big ones. Did I mention that two thirds of the food in the supermarket contain GMOs? Why are they on the shelves and why doesn't the press report these things?

I know why and it goes back to two things...GREED and POWER. There is so much money involved in our food supply that if you control the supply you have the ultimate power in the world. Monsanto is after these two things. They control the GM seed supply and all the farmers in the US basically have to buy their seed from Monsanto. Not a bad position to be in if you can achieve it. The scary thing is that Monsanto knows what they are doing is destroying lives by using these deadly chemicals, but I don't believe they are going to stop due to the money and power that comes with this awesome responsibility. Feeding America is big business and if they can shave their costs by using these seeds and forcing farmers to use them, then they have what's called a monopoly.

I, however, have decided to take a stand and not eat foods that contain GMOs. That is why I'm so passionate about telling people about the new protocol I'm on. I have made the switch to 100% Gluten Free Super Food and it has changed my world. Not being held hostage by food or Monsanto for that matter. Do you want to make a difference in your life and the lives of others? Then do your research on GMOs and give our program a try. If nothing else you will be able to experience what is is like not to consume any Gluten or GMOs for one week. Give your body the break it deserves and make a statement to these greedy and powerful manufacturers once and for all.
