The World According to Monsanto part 1 of 10

Playlist: www.youtube.com On March 11 2008 a new documentary was aired on French TV (ARTE French-German cultural tv channel) by French journalist and film maker Marie-Monique Robin, The World According to Monsanto A documentary that you wont see on American television. The gigantic biotech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years. The story starts in the White House, where Monsanto often got its way by exerting disproportionate influence over policymakers via the revolving door. One example is Michael Taylor, who worked for Monsanto as an attorney before being appointed as deputy commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1991. While at the FDA, the dominance that deals with all US food approvals, Taylor prefabricated crucial decisions that led to the approval of GE foods and crops. Then he returned to Monsanto, becoming the companys vice president for public policy. Thanks to these intimate links between Monsanto and government agencies, the US adopted GE foods and crops without proper testing, without consumer labeling and in spite of serious questions hanging over their safety. Not coincidentally, Monsanto supplies 90 percent of the GE seeds used by the US market. Monsantos long arm stretched so far that, in the primeval nineties, the US Food and Drugs Bureau even ignored warnings of their own scientists, who were cautioning that GE crops could cause negative health
