I just found out that the six largest chemical pesticide manufacturers also control 75% of the world’s seed market. That is so incredibly scary!
First of all, pesticides are poisons. There is no other way to describe them except with synonyms like toxins and carcinogens. They are synthetic and cannot break down. They bio-accumulate in human and animal tissue as well as in water and soil. Pesticides to humans are like plastic in a landfill – it will never break down. Pretty scary.
But now lets talk about seeds. Monsanto (#5 producer) just announced US government approval to sell genetically modified alfalfa to be grown for cattle forage. ‘Genetically Modified’ sounds so benign but it is Pandora’s Box of agriculture. If a seed is genetically modified, the scientists have gone into the DNA of the crop and replaced a gene with that of a pesticide. The reason is to create a crop that is less susceptible to pests during growth. Sure that will increase crop yields and lessen pesticide costs, but it puts poison in our food! Cows will eat it then the poison is in the milk. Then we drink it and it concentrates in us. And who drinks a lot of milk? I believe babies and growing children…
Once a crop like this is planted, it will co-mingle with non-genetically modified crops and natural crops will cease to exist. This is only one chemical pesticide company and only one crop. BTW, corn’s Pandora’s Box has already been opened and to give you an idea of how wrong this is, India now refuses corn from the United States.
Pests can be controlled naturally and safely with Greenbug. No, it won’t make Monsanto or others another billion dollars so you can be sure all the lobbyists from chemical pesticide companies will make sure ‘natural pest control’ gets a bad rap. I do not have a problem with a company making a profit, but I have HUGE problem if profits come at the expense of humans, animals and the environment. Poisons are poisons and when they accumulate, they only become stronger.
