Codex Alimentarius Erroneous ! GMO WHO NWO ~ How WHO F*cked Up The Formula

World Food Roundup ~ Kudos Agingmentalius (a.k.a. Codex) One Food/One God?
This week of November 2-6, 2009, the 31st Session of the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) met in Dusseldorf, Germany to continue its work in developing standards for global nutrition. Some 260 delegates were in attendance, comprised of various countries’ functionaries and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) representatives. Never one to disappoint the crowd, Dr. Rolf Grossklaus returned for his final, farewell performance as the CCNFSDU Chairman.
The Committee covered various topics, among them methods of assaying fiber and the establishment of Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD)./1 At the special Saturday meeting of the CCNFSDU Working Group on Nutrient Reference Values for Non-communicable Diseases, the NHF was represented by its president Scott Tips and was very active in making its pro-freedom views known. (See our previous release at http://www.thenhf.com/press_releases/pr
At both meetings (that of the Working Group and the Committee), NHF especially took to task the God-like aura given to the “expert consultations” of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO). These are pre-selected groups of experts with a pre-determined outcome to their “consultations” and are hardly scientific. Along with other delegations, the NHF succeeded in retaining language in Codex standards that ensured that Codex would not just look to FAO/WHO expert consultations for scientific knowledge.
Amazing Victory of NHF Over GMO NWO & WHO Corporate Driven Stupidity
But the real battle and amazing success took place on Tuesday, November 3rd, during the general session, when the two agenda items covering the NRVs for non-communicable diseases, including the “Proposed Draft Additional or Revised Nutrient Reference Values for Labelling Purposes in the Codex Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling,” were discussed by the Committee.
The CCNFSDU was all prepared to rubber-stamp its approval on the “Proposed Draft Additional or Revised Nutrient Reference Values for Labelling Purposes in the Codex Guidelines on Nutrition Labelling,” which had been pushed by the delegation of the Republic of Korea and others.l
This document was so astoundingly anti-vitamin and mineral it infuriated the NHF representative, who had to restrain himself from using harsh and insulting words when it came NHF’s turn to speak. Appendix 2 of the document is only two pages, but contains already-low values for each of the Vitamins and Minerals listed in the Appendix (except for Fluoride, which of course has an excessively high value). (To see the document, go to www.thenhf.com/press_releases/Appendix2p
For example, the “scientific” values assigned to Vitamin C were being reduced from an already-low 60 milligrams to an even-lower 45 milligrams! The NRV for magnesium was to be cut from 300 milligrams to 240 milligrams. Niacin’s value was to be chopped from 18 milligrams to 15. These were, and are, absurd numbers, based upon nutritional ignorance.
Over a one-hour period, the NHF took the floor repeatedly to lambast the document and to insist that its adoption would be a public-relations nightmare and make Codex the laughingstock of the World. If anything, NHF said, these numbers must be drastically raised. The argument swirled around the room with the NHF holding firm against comments from many other country delegations, especially Australia (which calls harsher standards "an extra bit of comfort"), all of whom thought that these numbers were perfectly normal! Had NHF not challenged the document, there would have been no sustained opposition to its passage.
Instead, NHF kept unrelentingly hammering at the points it had first raised and answered at every chance the counter-arguments of the document’s proponents. Finally, the Chairman, perhaps in exasperation, suggested that the Committee not advance the document to its next step because there was no consensus! This “compromise” was supported by NHF but opposed by others until, with it still hanging in the balance, the Indian delegation firmly stated its support for NHF’s position and against it advancing. India’s timing was impeccable. That was enough for the Chairman, who quickly concluded the debate and held the document back.
But for the National Health Federation, India, and also Costa Rica and Iraq, this document would have advanced towards a more final, fixed form. Now, it remains in a malleable form that will let it be corrected at next year’s CCNFSDU meeting.
Increasingly recognized at these Codex meetings, NHF appreciates the support it has been given by other country-member and INGO delegations. Most of all, though, NHF appreciates the support its membership has given it, financially and morally, that enabled this victory to happen at all.

*1 Not to be confused with Maximum Upper Permitted Limits, Nutrient Reference Values (“NRVs”) are nothing more than souped-up RDAs. These are numerical values assigned to each nutrient so as to reflect the mythical typical person’s nutritional needs for that nutrient. By referring to the NRV for, say, magnesium, the consumer is supposed to get an idea of whether he or she is getting an adequate (or in European bureaucratic eyes, an excessive) amount of magnesium. If a consumer, for example, sees that he is getting 100% of his daily requirement for Vitamin C, he will almost certainly mistakenly think that he need look no further to supplement his diet.; he is, after all, getting his full needs met, even though 100% will be defined as 60 milligrams! These values are supposed to be set according to rigorous scientific evidence; but, as NHF has long contended, “science” at Codex levels is far more political than scientific.

THE NATIONAL HEALTH FEDERATION DECLARATION OF HEALTH-FREEDOM RIGHTS
The following rights and freedoms are basic to all individuals:
1. The right to control our own bodies - to decide what food, drink, and medicines to take and use, and what food, drink, and medicines not to take.
2. The right to supplement our diets with vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and enzymes without government restrictions.
3. The right to receive alternative medicine and treatments (such as those provided by chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopathic doctors, massage therapists, and clinical nutritionists) without government restrictions.
4. The right of alternative medical practitioners to determine and use those treatments best suited for their patients without government restrictions.
5. The right of manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements to provide truthful research and label information about the benefits of supplements and other health aids.
6. The right to discuss and disseminate truthful natural-health information. The FDA, the FTC, and other government agencies should not be allowed to prevent health organizations such as the National Health Federation from disseminating this vital information.
7. Freedom from international Codex Alimentarius Commission standards that would greatly restrict all of the above rights on behalf of a small elite that has gained control of governmental health agencies. We view this and other governmental actions as the greatest threats to our health freedom today.
8. The freedom to eat clean, fresh food without pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, poisons, or irradiation.
9. The right to breathe clean air and to drink water free of harmful chemicals such as fluoride.
10. The right to protect ourselves and our children from unnecessary and often dangerous, childhood vaccines.
11. The right of our military men and women to refuse to submit to mandatory vaccines such as anthrax.
12. The right to keep our medical records private and confidential.

THE NATIONAL HEALTH FEDERATION TRACK RECORD
In the 1950s we fought and won the battle for mandatory inspection of poultry.
In the 1960s we coordinated a major drive to help chiropractors become legally licensed in over 40 states.
In the 1970s we waged very successful campaigns against fluoridation.
In the 1980s we pushed through legislative recognition of acupuncture.
In the 1990s we lobbied to pass the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act S-784, fought malathion spraying, promoted public education on the dangers of vaccinations, and continued fighting the fluoridation battle.
In the 2000s we are working to prevent the Codex attempts to restrict your freedom to take vitamins and minerals and we are currently taking action to defeat the Senator Durbin Bill (S.722) that seeks to restrict DSHEA with his move to require dietary supplement manufacturers to submit Adverse Event Reports, to institute a pre-approval process with the FDA for all dietary supplements that are stimulants, and to re-classify anabolic-steroid dietary supplements as Controlled Substances. The other NHF battles include opposing S.1780, S.1538, H.R. 207 and H.R. 3377 (considered the Son of Durbin bill). We are also supporting health-promoting legislation such as the Access To Medical Treatment Act and a repeal of the Kefauver Amendment of 1962 that gave the FDA expanded authority over drug "efficacy" and thus the ability to play favorites with drug companies. We are fighting alongside other countries against a major health freedom threat, one whose goal is to harmonize vitamin and supplement laws that strictly regulate natural health foods worldwide.
CODEX Overview
GMO NWO & WHO Corporate Driven Stupidity
The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC),based in Rome, Italy, is an international organization jointly created by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations. The Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Use (CCNFSDU) is responsible for Dietary Supplements and Medical Foods and is one of 26 separate Codex committees. The CCNFSDU meets once yearly in Berlin, Germany (its host country) and the National Health Federation is a Codex-recognized organization with the right to attend and speak out at these meetings. The purpose of Codex is to provide a forum to facilitate global trade in foods and promote consumer food safety by developing science based standards and guidelines for use by member countries. Codex guidelines and standards are automatically implemented by the General Agreement on Trade & Tariffs (GATT) of the WHO and become binding for all international trade among GATT signatory countries. In the case of Codex, the National Health Federation opposes the current Codex member states who wrongly believe that consumer health will be enhanced by: (1) denying that dietary supplements can benefit normal, healthy people; (2) incorrectly defining dietary supplements as only those vitamins and minerals that the body cannot manufacture itself; (3) restricting the upper-limit amounts of vitamins and minerals, particularly by referring to currently-crude and archaic medical beliefs about nutrients; (4) restricting any physiological benefit information for consumers; (5) restricting the lower-limit amounts of vitamins and minerals that may be consumed by individuals; and (6) creating "positive" and "negative" lists of dietary supplements. The current direction of Codex is off course and is unfortunately driven by a statist and elitist mentality that thinks it knows what is best for consumer health and protection. Unfortunately, such a mindset comes from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s kind of "brave new world" thinking that elevated central planners into a form of "God on Earth" of as WHO gmo would have us believe "One Food", ie. "make us one with everything!"

* Why have health-freedom fighters been challenging this process?
* Who stands to gain the most once Codex Rules are implemented?
* How does the Codex process fit into the web of international treaties being woven around us?
* How is Codex helping to promote the globalization agenda?
* Why is the mainstream media strangely silent about Codex?
* What do you need to know now to protect yourself and your health?
Through the insightful articles written by a handful of health-freedom fighters who have actually researched, studied, and spoken out at Codex meetings, this first-of-its-kind collection of articles on Codex will help answer these questions and more.

The UN plan to eradicate Organic Farming & to destroy the Natural Health Industry
With biting political analysis, Ian R. Crane probes the track record of those who openly crave the introduction of a One World hierarchical Government. Exposing the agenda of those who have presided over events leading directly to the launching of illegal wars in Afghanistan & Iraq and who continually demonstrate their desire to perpetuate a state of permanent global conflict; whilst systematically eroding personal freedom, through the process of gradualism. So what does all this have to do with Organic Farming and Natural Health? Part of the New World Order agenda is to remove the requirement for food labelling & to restrict and ultimately prohibit the sale of all natural health products. According to John Hammell, a legislative advocate and the founder of International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), here is what we have to look forward to:
“If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you have taken for granted most of your life will be gone. The name of the game for Codex is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can be controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms.” However, this is just the tip of the iceberg; behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission are the United Nations and the World Health Organization, working in conjunction with the multinational pharmaceutical cartel and international banks. It is now a criminal offence in parts of Europe to sell herbs as foods. An agreement called EEC6565 equates selling herbs as foods to selling other illegal drugs. Action is being taken to accelerate bringing other European countries into 'harmonisation'.

What's in Your Food? Labeling Practices ~ You Are What You Eat!
Food irradiation in the United States is primarily regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) since it is considered a food additive. Other federal agencies that regulate aspects of food irradiation include:
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) - meat and poultry products, fresh fruit
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) - safety of the processing facility
Department of Transportation (DOT) - safe transport of the radioactive sources
Each new food is approved separately with a guideline specifying a maximum dosage; in case of quarantine applications the minimum dose is regulated. Packaging materials containing the food processed by irradiation must also undergo approval.
Organic foods cannot be irradiated

FOOD FRAUDS
The people behind a business responsible for a £500,000 organic food scam have been successfully prosecuted by Northamptonshire County Council trading standards today (Tuesday 22nd September). The five-year scam saw various products that were falsely described as organic being supplied by One Food Limited to consumers and businesses across the UK.

The New Science Of Food: Chemically Contaminated, Genetically Modified
Video Short: Corn, soybeans, rice, pollen, seeds...
There are currently over 786 million hungry people on planet Earth. And while few would deny that world hunger is one of the most important issues facing mankind today, if the solution is left to companies like Monsanto, Aventis, Dow, and DuPont, we may face even greater challenges to the security of our global ecosystem. With the second Green Revolution well under way, the world's food supply is slowly being transformed by a radically improvised agricultural paradigm. Genetically engineered crops have been introduced into the market without the rigorous testing that many scientists feel is required. The history is instructive:
In 1986, U.S. biotech companies began testing the first genetically engineered food products. In 1993, the FDA declared that GM food was "not inherently dangerous," which gave a green light to biotech corporations who had been developing GM seeds. One year later, the first GM food product, Flavr Savr tomato, was released to enthusiastic U.S. consumers. But in Europe, GM food did not win such easy converts. Groups like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth protested the new "Frankenfoods," galvanizing public outrage and the eventual policy mandate requiring all modified produce to be clearly labelled. Despite the highly publicized battle over genetically engineered food, many people are still unaware that many of the products they consume on a daily basis are GM. In Contaminated, Fritjof Capra, Paul Hawken and Vandana Shiva explain the evolution of the new biotech agribusiness and its potential dangers to the sustainability of the global food supply.

Contaminated Transcript:
Caption: A shrinking number of agrochemical companies are modifying the genetic structure of our food… But they don’t want to tell us.
Fritjof Capra – physicist, systems theorist, author: Food is something very existential, and it’s something very fundamental to human beings. And so people, even if they don’t understand the intricacies and complications of genetic engineering get naturally suspicious when they suspect that their food is chemically contaminated or genetically modified, and the secrecy of the corporations heightens that suspicion.
Paul Hawken - environmentalist, entrepreneur, author: Farmers around the world are in trouble. Why are they in trouble? They’re in trouble because there’s too much food.
There’s too much, and it suppresses prices. So those farmers are highly susceptible to a crop, a seed, a product that will slightly reduce their costs, even if the long term effect is detrimental to their soil, to themselves, even to their family. And you see it in America, you see it in Canada, you see it in Argentina.
Caption: What’s with the food?
Fritjof Capra: Five or so agrochemical corporations control about 85% of the food, and what they want to do - in their own words - is gain control over the entire food chain, from the seeds to the table.
Paul Hawken: Corporations are putting in a gene from another species into germ plasm to create characteristics or traits which are more desirable to whom? Well, in most cases these traits are desirable to agri-business, that is to say companies who are mass producers of corn and soybeans. Generally mass producers of food that goes to cattle make meat. The danger of this is really unknown – scientifically we are on a threshold that we’ve never crossed before. We simply do not have the expertise to judge whether we know what we’re doing or not.
Caption: Moth genes are being fused with potatoes.
Arctic Char genes are being fused with strawberries.
Flounder genes are being fused with tomatoes.
Firefly genes are being fused with corn.
Fritjof Capra: Monsanto, one of the corporate giants in this field, engineered soybeans to make them resistant to a specific pesticide. Now, it happens to be a pesticide sold by Monsanto, of course. It’s called Roundup, so these soybeans are ‘Roundup ready’ as they say.
The purpose is not to increase the yield of soybeans. The purpose is to sell more Roundup.
Caption: Around the world, weeds have begun to develop resistance to Roundup herbicide.
Fritjof Capra: They have other crops that have a pesticide in them, and they want to sell these special seeds. Now they have patented the seeds, they sell them for inflated prices, they charge a technology fee on top of it and then they have intellectual property rights so that farmers are not allowed to save the seeds or develop them as farmers have done for hundreds of years.
Caption: IPRS – Intellectual Property Rights let corporations patent living things, giving them ownership of the plant and all its future generations.
Paul Hawken: So they buy the seeds, but they don’t own the seeds. They have a license to use it for one year. The next year they have to buy it again. So now, they’re just like somebody who’s been enticed to use drugs and now has to form a relationship with their dealer. Who has the power in that situation? The dealer has the power.
Caption: Fearing rejection from US consumers corporations have lobbied against having to label genetically modified foods.
Fritjof Capra: In Europe, where the anti-GM movement is much stronger the English supermarkets have agreed not to buy GM foods.
Vandana Shiva - physicist, eco-activist, author: So the industry now knows that neither Europe or the US is the place where they can keep this expansion on, and they’re moving to Asia. And they’re trying to push this technology on India by violating every rule under the sun, and every environmental law that we have had, corrupting our scientific institutions, our government, and that’s why I’ve sued them, I’ve got Monsanto in court, in the Supreme Court of India. Because they’re violating our laws.
Fritjof Capra: Hunger is not a technological problem. The world produces enough food, so you may ask ‘why are there so many hungry people?’ Well there are hungry people because the food is not distributed to them, it’s not offered to them. Hunger is a problem of food being concentrated in the hands of the rich and powerful, and poor people not having access to it.
Well, GM food is going to perpetuate that. In fact, it’s going to make it worse. It’s going to increase poverty, it’s going to increase hunger.
Vandana Shiva: So it is not a strategy to produce more food, it’s a strategy to undermine small farmers’ livelihoods, create ecological risks and create health risks. India can do without all this.
Fritjof Capra: Life has evolved for over three billion years. There is a wisdom in the organization of natural living systems, ecosystems and living organisms that we should take to heart.
Paul Hawken: We have never had a worldwide famine, and there’s no reason to. But should we follow what these companies are proposing, it’d be very easy because if the characteristics and the traits of these seeds should fail catastrophically, they will fail worldwide.

We are also supporting health-promoting legislation such as the Access To Medical Treatment Act and a repeal of the Kefauver Amendment of 1962 that gave the FDA expanded authority over drug "efficacy" and thus the ability to play favorites with drug companies. We are fighting alongside other countries against a major health freedom threat, one whose goal is to harmonize vitamin and supplement laws that strictly regulate natural health foods worldwide.
CODEX Overview
GMO NWO & WHO Corporate Driven StupidityThe Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC),based in Rome, Italy, is an international organization jointly created by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations. The Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Use (CCNFSDU) is responsible for Dietary Supplements and Medical Foods and is one of 26 separate Codex committees. The CCNFSDU meets once yearly in Berlin, Germany (its host country) and the National Health Federation is a Codex-recognized organization with the right to attend and speak out at these meetings. The purpose of Codex is to provide a forum to facilitate global trade in foods and promote consumer food safety by developing science based standards and guidelines for use by member countries. Codex guidelines and standards are automatically implemented by the General Agreement on Trade & Tariffs (GATT) of the WHO and become binding for all international trade among GATT signatory countries. In the case of Codex, the National Health Federation opposes the current Codex member states who wrongly believe that consumer health will be enhanced by: (1) denying that dietary supplements can benefit normal, healthy people; (2) incorrectly defining dietary supplements as only those vitamins and minerals that the body cannot manufacture itself; (3) restricting the upper-limit amounts of vitamins and minerals, particularly by referring to currently-crude and archaic medical beliefs about nutrients; (4) restricting any physiological benefit information for consumers; (5) restricting the lower-limit amounts of vitamins and minerals that may be consumed by individuals; and (6) creating "positive" and "negative" lists of dietary supplements. The current direction of Codex is off course and is unfortunately driven by a statist and elitist mentality that thinks it knows what is best for consumer health and protection. Unfortunately, such a mindset comes from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s kind of "brave new world" thinking that elevated central planners into a form of "God on Earth" of as WHO gmo would have us believe "One Food", ie. "make us one with everything!"

"Kill them all, God knows his own.'' - Pope Innocent III
The Club of Rome deems the human population on earth would best be no more than 2 billion humans, thereby implying the use of eugenics or bio-terrorism to cull the herd. Word is the Codex Alimentarius cabal and the multinational pharmaceutical cartel are planning to seize control of all natural health products. Are you happy with that…?

The UN plan to eradicate Organic Farming & to destroy the Natural Health Industry
With biting political analysis, Ian R. Crane probes the track record of those who openly crave the introduction of a One World hierarchical Government. Exposing the agenda of those who have presided over events leading directly to the launching of illegal wars in Afghanistan & Iraq and who continually demonstrate their desire to perpetuate a state of permanent global conflict; whilst systematically eroding personal freedom, through the process of gradualism. So what does all this have to do with Organic Farming and Natural Health? Part of the New World Order agenda is to remove the requirement for food labelling & to restrict and ultimately prohibit the sale of all natural health products. According to John Hammell, a legislative advocate and the founder of International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), here is what we have to look forward to:
“If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you have taken for granted most of your life will be gone. The name of the game for Codex is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can be controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms.” However, this is just the tip of the iceberg; behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission are the United Nations and the World Health Organization, working in conjunction with the multinational pharmaceutical cartel and international banks. It is now a criminal offence in parts of Europe to sell herbs as foods. An agreement called EEC6565 equates selling herbs as foods to selling other illegal drugs. Action is being taken to accelerate bringing other European countries into 'harmonisation'.

What's in Your Food? Labeling Practices ~ You Are What You Eat!
Food irradiation in the United States is primarily regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) since it is considered a food additive. Other federal agencies that regulate aspects of food irradiation include:
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) - meat and poultry products, fresh fruit
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) - safety of the processing facility
Department of Transportation (DOT) - safe transport of the radioactive sources
Each new food is approved separately with a guideline specifying a maximum dosage; in case of quarantine applications the minimum dose is regulated. Packaging materials containing the food processed by irradiation must also undergo approval.
Organic foods cannot be irradiated

FOOD FRAUDS
The people behind a business responsible for a £500,000 organic food scam have been successfully prosecuted by Northamptonshire County Council trading standards today (Tuesday 22nd September). The five-year scam saw various products that were falsely described as organic being supplied by One Food Limited to consumers and businesses across the UK.

The New Science Of Food: Chemically Contaminated, Genetically Modified
Video Short: Corn, soybeans, rice, pollen, seeds...
There are currently over 786 million hungry people on planet Earth. And while few would deny that world hunger is one of the most important issues facing mankind today, if the solution is left to companies like Monsanto, Aventis, Dow, and DuPont, we may face even greater challenges to the security of our global ecosystem. With the second Green Revolution well under way, the world's food supply is slowly being transformed by a radically improvised agricultural paradigm. Genetically engineered crops have been introduced into the market without the rigorous testing that many scientists feel is required. The history is instructive:
In 1986, U.S. biotech companies began testing the first genetically engineered food products. In 1993, the FDA declared that GM food was "not inherently dangerous," which gave a green light to biotech corporations who had been developing GM seeds. One year later, the first GM food product, Flavr Savr tomato, was released to enthusiastic U.S. consumers. But in Europe, GM food did not win such easy converts. Groups like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth protested the new "Frankenfoods," galvanizing public outrage and the eventual policy mandate requiring all modified produce to be clearly labelled. Despite the highly publicized battle over genetically engineered food, many people are still unaware that many of the products they consume on a daily basis are GM. In Contaminated, Fritjof Capra, Paul Hawken and Vandana Shiva explain the evolution of the new biotech agribusiness and its potential dangers to the sustainability of the global food supply.

Food For The Masses For Profit and Gain ~ You Are a Cow
WHO Two-faced CowDAIRY me - this poorly calf has been born with two faces. Born in Indonesia, the beast has a normal set of lungs, heart, liver and intestines - but an extra face. Animal lovers will be mooved as it spends much of its time lying down - apart from when it needs to take a drink. The picture follows that of Double Trouble - a US kitten also born with two faces pictured earlier this week.

Contaminated Transcript:
Caption: A shrinking number of agrochemical companies are modifying the genetic structure of our food… But they don’t want to tell us.
Fritjof Capra – physicist, systems theorist, author: Food is something very existential, and it’s something very fundamental to human beings. And so people, even if they don’t understand the intricacies and complications of genetic engineering get naturally suspicious when they suspect that their food is chemically contaminated or genetically modified, and the secrecy of the corporations heightens that suspicion.
Paul Hawken - environmentalist, entrepreneur, author: Farmers around the world are in trouble. Why are they in trouble? They’re in trouble because there’s too much food.
There’s too much, and it suppresses prices. So those farmers are highly susceptible to a crop, a seed, a product that will slightly reduce their costs, even if the long term effect is detrimental to their soil, to themselves, even to their family. And you see it in America, you see it in Canada, you see it in Argentina.
Caption: What’s with the food?
Fritjof Capra: Five or so agrochemical corporations control about 85% of the food, and what they want to do - in their own words - is gain control over the entire food chain, from the seeds to the table.
Paul Hawken: Corporations are putting in a gene from another species into germ plasm to create characteristics or traits which are more desirable to whom? Well, in most cases these traits are desirable to agri-business, that is to say companies who are mass producers of corn and soybeans. Generally mass producers of food that goes to cattle make meat. The danger of this is really unknown – scientifically we are on a threshold that we’ve never crossed before. We simply do not have the expertise to judge whether we know what we’re doing or not.
Caption: Moth genes are being fused with potatoes.
Arctic Char genes are being fused with strawberries.
Flounder genes are being fused with tomatoes.
Firefly genes are being fused with corn.
Fritjof Capra: Monsanto, one of the corporate giants in this field, engineered soybeans to make them resistant to a specific pesticide. Now, it happens to be a pesticide sold by Monsanto, of course. It’s called Roundup, so these soybeans are ‘Roundup ready’ as they say.
The purpose is not to increase the yield of soybeans. The purpose is to sell more Roundup.
Caption: Around the world, weeds have begun to develop resistance to Roundup herbicide.
Fritjof Capra: They have other crops that have a pesticide in them, and they want to sell these special seeds. Now they have patented the seeds, they sell them for inflated prices, they charge a technology fee on top of it and then they have intellectual property rights so that farmers are not allowed to save the seeds or develop them as farmers have done for hundreds of years.
Caption: IPRS – Intellectual Property Rights let corporations patent living things, giving them ownership of the plant and all its future generations.
Paul Hawken: So they buy the seeds, but they don’t own the seeds. They have a license to use it for one year. The next year they have to buy it again. So now, they’re just like somebody who’s been enticed to use drugs and now has to form a relationship with their dealer. Who has the power in that situation? The dealer has the power.
Caption: Fearing rejection from US consumers corporations have lobbied against having to label genetically modified foods.
Fritjof Capra: In Europe, where the anti-GM movement is much stronger the English supermarkets have agreed not to buy GM foods.
Vandana Shiva - physicist, eco-activist, author: So the industry now knows that neither Europe or the US is the place where they can keep this expansion on, and they’re moving to Asia. And they’re trying to push this technology on India by violating every rule under the sun, and every environmental law that we have had, corrupting our scientific institutions, our government, and that’s why I’ve sued them, I’ve got Monsanto in court, in the Supreme Court of India. Because they’re violating our laws.
Fritjof Capra: Hunger is not a technological problem. The world produces enough food, so you may ask ‘why are there so many hungry people?’ Well there are hungry people because the food is not distributed to them, it’s not offered to them. Hunger is a problem of food being concentrated in the hands of the rich and powerful, and poor people not having access to it.
Well, GM food is going to perpetuate that. In fact, it’s going to make it worse. It’s going to increase poverty, it’s going to increase hunger.
Vandana Shiva: So it is not a strategy to produce more food, it’s a strategy to undermine small farmers’ livelihoods, create ecological risks and create health risks. India can do without all this.
Fritjof Capra: Life has evolved for over three billion years. There is a wisdom in the organization of natural living systems, ecosystems and living organisms that we should take to heart.
Paul Hawken: We have never had a worldwide famine, and there’s no reason to. But should we follow what these companies are proposing, it’d be very easy because if the characteristics and the traits of these seeds should fail catastrophically, they will fail worldwide.
