But this agenda has been implemented at grave cost to our health; and if the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) passes, control over not just our food but our health, our environment and our financial system will be in the hands of transnational corporations.<br /><br />Profits Before Populations<br /><br />Genetic engineering has made proprietary control possible over the seeds on which the world’s food supply depends. “Terminator” genes enable the production of sterile seeds, using a synthetic chemical catalyst appropriately called “Traitor” to induce seed sterility. Farmers must therefore buy seeds from their patent owners year after year. To cover these costs, food prices are raised; but the harm is far greater than to our pocketbooks.[...]<br /><br />http://ellenbrown.com/<br /><br />http://www.blacklistednews.com/Monsanto%2C_the_TPP_and_Global_Food_Dominance/30641/0/0/0/Y/M.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
