The dark influence of Monsanto company for food products Bashny.Net

It all started simply enough and looked innocent when people first learnt to grow their own food. After harvest, farmers kept their seeds until the next season, often hand over hand the best and the brightest seeds to the next season to gather a rich harvest.

In the end, a group of farmers and naturalists watched the natural hybrid plants, and they had the idea to conduct an experiment in which they decided to cross different species of plants. Then in 1900, due to the use of the genetic theory of Mendel to manipulate different types of plants in the process called traditional breeding, it was possible to obtain the desired result. The following year a man named John Francis Queenie founded a small chemical company in Creve Coeur (mo) and named it Monsanto.

After 40 years, Monsanto became the largest producer of plastics (including polystyrene) and synthetic fibers. Then in 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick published an article about the opening of the three-dimensional double helical structure of DNA. This discovery ultimately leads to the practical ability to splice genes of different organisms. 20 years later, in 1973, Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen create the first recombinant DNA organism.

In 1980, conditions were created for what has happened recently in America when the Supreme court ruled that genetically altered life forms can be patented, has been given the right of Exxon to create food microorganisms. From this moment the gate for the creation of GMOs was wide open Monsanto.

1982 — FDA in USA approves the first genetically engineered drug "Humulin" company Genentech.
1986 — first conducted field tests of genetically modified plants (tobacco) in Belgium.
1987 — the first field test of GM tobacco and tomatoes in the United States.
1992 — Ministry of agriculture allows the use of tomato "Favr Savr" company Calgene for commercial purposes.
1992 — U.S. FDA declares that GMO is not dangerous and does not require special rules and changes in legislation.
1994 — first GMO approved for use in the EU, (tobacco).
2000 — in Canada on the Convention on biological diversity, approved by 130 countries of the international Protocol on Biosafety. This Protocol provides for the labeling of products containing GMOs... but it must be ratified by 50 countries before coming into force, and still contains many weaknesses and loopholes. 50 countries have ratified only in 2003, although signing was attended by 194 countries.
1997-2002 — Monsanto loses a large part of their chemical companies and focuses exclusively on agricultural biotechnology.

Since 2002, the influence of Monsanto on the food became even worse. First, they just started to buy all the grain companies, which they could. Those who didn't want to sell argued that it is better to play Golf or even deprived of the right to manage their business. Once the basis was created, they decided to work directly with the farmers. Monsanto created the first biotech business model, which allows to use patents as a kind of bio-piracy that we have not seen since the days of Blackbeard. Only this piracy is perfectly legal. Here's how it works. Farmers can buy and use only the seeds from Monsanto. They are forbidden under pain of the law to grow any plants and harvest grown from non-GMO seeds!

Monsanto uses one vile tactics against those farmers who does not play by its rules. Almost all of their fields are surrounded by fields of other farmers who are "friends" of Monsanto and company representatives along with the police come to the land of the offenders, and then magically provide evidence that the farmer uses Monsanto products, in violation of their patent rights. If you ever been to the farmer's land, you know what it looks like... Mother nature does not build the fences and so the seeds naturally can get on foreign fields, and that helps Monsanto accusing farmers of violating their patents. For them, no matter in what way were "illegal seeds" on the ground and what made them grow. Have you ever heard of blind justice? And it can be called a mutation of blind justice used by Monsanto as a club for farmers so that they agreed with all their rules and / or bankrupt.

Since their advanced product Agent Orange used during the Vietnam war as a defoliant, Monsanto is usually associated with death and killing. How many millions of Vietnamese and American soldiers were exposed to Agent Orange, consequences of chemical can be seen today. Agent Orange is basically a 50/50 mixture of the chemicals 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D. with the known carcinogen dioxin is one nasty habit of hiding in an infected body fat percentage, assuming weight loss of 10 percent or more, a release of deadly chemicals into the blood that are active.
