What's this? Laura is listening to the Deftones and has a major headache? It must be because she just sat through the documentary The Future of Food (watch trailer here) with an angry look on her face and scrunched up brows for two hours and is now both depressed and angry. Lucky for us all that she doesn't give up hope quite yet (though she is reconsidering bringing children into this f*cked up world of ours.)
You see my dear readers -- The Future of Food exposes the truth behind the giants of the likes of Monsanto and other huge conglomerate corporations who say they are into plant biotechnology to save the world's starving poor.
First off, the world's poor are not starving due to the production of food -- but rather the distribution of food. The first world countries throw out so much food because it is overproducing.
Secondly, by creating things such as terminator seeds, suing farmers for "infringing on their patent" when seeds blow into their fields and germinate, and patenting living organisms, genes and life, corporations such as Monsanto are putting more and more farmers (especially in developing countries) out of work.
There are so many things wrong with these giants controlling our food and contaminating what they don't own. They even want to charge people in developing countries fees for using their patented plants, even if they went in and took the plant from those countries in the first place!
Yes - help feed the children.
Greedy bastards.

Let's not label the genetically modified foods either! Oh no, we don't want people to know what they are eating and feeding to their children. That would make us traceable.
