Monsanto Tribunal Judges slam Monsanto over violation of human rights

[Toddsterpatriot]

The Monsanto Tribunal is an international civil society initiative to hold Monsanto accountable for human rights violations, for crimes against humanity, and for ecocide.

And then they smoked a huge bowl.

Let us know when you get cancer, i'm sure they'll tell you it's genetic.

You should stop eating food that was modified by humans.
Enjoy your wild fish and acorns.

Oh how the ignorant will suffer.

It's called organic when the food is not GMO & grown with chemicals & many intelligent people buy organic food.

Bayer produces pesticides called neonicotinoids. It is in a lot of the food seeds. It is a systemic poison. When an insect bites the plant, it dies. Then you eat that plant. Honey bees take that nectar & pollen, they eventually die & it poisons the entire hive.

Neonics have been found in 29% of baby food.

Ignorant ***** like you are the problem. You thin k we should sacrifice our environment for short term profits.

It's called organic when the food is not GMO & grown with chemicals & many intelligent people buy organic food.

You think organic means no chemicals? LOL!

But the headlines–promoting the widespread myth about organic farming–are flat out not accurate. The truth is, all farmers use pesticides. And these chemicals–some of which are among the most dangerous pesticides used by farmers today–are all with the approval of the US Department of Agriculture.

In fact, Consumer Reports backtracks from its misleading “Organic Farming: Without Pesticides” headline in its own info-box, which, like the overall article, is a mishmash of conflicting statements and cherry picked factoids. It notes, “Federal law prohibits the use of almost all synthetic pesticides on organic farms” and then a few paragraphs later, it contradictorily states, “Only 10 synthetic insecticides are approved for use on organic farms.”



"'Organic food is the product of a farming system which avoids the use of man-made fertilisers, pesticides; growth regulators and livestock feed additives. Irradiation and the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or products produced from or by GMOs are generally prohibited by organic legislation."

You got a GED? That's hard to believe.

So why are GMOs bad? Spell it out. If you can spell. LOL!

Gee...Chemicals made in a laboratory being put into your body....what could POSSIBLY go bad!? You are a ******* retard. If nature intended chemicals to be in our bodies then they would come like that from nature. I can only imagine the diseases we could eradicate with the banishment of GMO's. Cancers,Alzheimer's,etc etc. Yeah GED good enough diploma. Amazing I managed to pass that shit with flying colors and only went to 9th grade aka I didn't need 3 more years of PROPAGANDA pushed on me...I wasn't learning a ******* thing....I had common sense so I knew most of it was bullshit.

Gee...Chemicals made in a laboratory being put into your body

You realize that chromium occurs in nature, don't you?

DERP!

I can only imagine the diseases we could eradicate with the banishment of GMO's

You have a vibrant imagination.

OMFG so does FLUORIDE FOOL................. ever hear of CHEMICAL COMPANIES ADDING that magical little word " EXTRA" which isn't natural , and isn't a natural amount.
OMFG...............no wonder you lead around gov. lovers can't think ...........

OMFG so does FLUORIDE FOOL

Where are all the deaths caused by natural chromium and natural fluoride?

ever hear of CHEMICAL COMPANIES ADDING that magical little word " EXTRA" which isn't natural , and isn't a natural amount.

Only the "extra" is bad for you?

You are being such a dufis there's no hope for you. That's too bad. As a humanitarian who hates to see ppl get fkd over some you just have to let go. Because, there is no hope or nothing you can put in front of them that helps them connect the dots. Sadly you are one of them.

You can't fix stupid....but you keep paying extra for the healthier "organic" produce.

Sounds yummy!

You are such a fool.

You know exactly what is meant people talk about pesticides.

You know exactly what is meant people talk about pesticides.

So some nasty man-made chemicals are okay on your organic produce?

Sulfates, carbonates, oxides, or silicates of zinc, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and cobalt.

Those sound poisonous to humans......okay with you though?
