GMO OMG Page #2
Were they hiding something?
Were we all a part of some
gigantic experiment?
Or, maybe, GMOs make us stronger
and faster and healthier,
who knows?
But didn't we even have
a choice on the matter?
Was there a way to opt out
if you wanted to?
And then something happened
seeds and food and control.
We, the peasants of Haiti,
are the guardians
of the seeds of life.
At the moment,
we see the seeds of death...
invading our country.
Haiti is the poorest country
in the Western Hemisphere.
People suffer from
crippling poverty,
hunger, and malnutrition.
The earthquake made an already
desperate situation much worse.
With hundreds of thousands dead
and countless bodies
lost beneath the rubble
and over a million people
cram into tent cities,
the agrochemical company
Monsanto offered Haiti
475 tons of seeds.
So, why would poor
rural farmers burn seeds?
in Monsanto's donation?
And when she says it is
disappointing to see people
encouraging farmers
to burn seeds?
The people is this guy.
Yes, it's me.
We think that's a
normal reaction
for a capitalistic enterprise.
Because the objective of
Monsanto is to make money.
The objective of Monsanto
is not the quality of food
that people are eating.
Monsanto's objective
is not to protect life.
It's not to protect
the environment.
When people like me say these
types of seeds are poisonous,
destroying the life of the land
and destroying the people...
That's when I attack
the interest of Monsanto.
Stop Monsanto!
Chase them out.
Monsanto is poison for the air.
Stop Monsanto!
Chase them out.
Monsanto is poison
for the people.
Stop Monsanto!
Chase them out.
Help! Help!
Peasants in the country,
Peasants in the North,
Peasants in the South,
Peasants in the West...
Let's stop them!
It was to change life,
the seeds Monsanto sent to us.
Understand?
We wanted to have our own
homegrown seeds to plant.
With the Monsanto product,
you can plant just one time.
That's why we didn't take it.
They say they have a
gift to give you.
It's a gift to kill you.
It's a gift to destroy you,
destroy who you are.
Because for us,
Seed is something sacred.
It's a natural thing.
so they wouldn't
leave it in Haiti.
We're headed for a small
town called Mirebalais.
And farmers in this area
received seeds from the
USAID Winner Project
and they planted them.
So, this is probably going
to be the closest we come
from Monsanto.
We pulled them up
and threw them away.
