GMO OMG Page #3

Because they came up withered,

turned red.

They weren't good for us,

so we pulled them up

and threw them away.

They made us pay.

So now we lost both

money and seed.

It didn't do us any good.

That's why we say to Monsanto:

Thanks, but we won't

continue with them.

There is a choice,

and I think consumers have

an important role to play

in pushing their countries,

industrialized countries,

to change their

mode agriculture.

The Haitians weren't

the only ones protesting

genetically modified seeds

in the biotech industry.

Resistance was springing

up all over the world.

For Haiti, accepting

Monsanto's gift

would mean losing

their own seeds,

their food sovereignty,

an essential piece of their

culture and way of being.

And they were fighting for

something that we had lost

without even knowing

we were giving it up.

They believe that the seeds of

life are the common inheritance

of all humanity,

as numerous and diverse

as the stars above,

owned by none,

and shared by all.

No one was marching back home.

There were no protests

in the streets.

It was business as usual

and people were

lining up to eat food

that ultimately comes from

the same chemical company

that the farmers in Haiti

were crying out against.

I had to do something

however small.

So, I began at the

most obvious place,

educating my own children.

Boys, I made you some

GMO goggles, OK?

Can I have that one?

Yeah.

But let me tell you

how they work, OK?

Uh-huh.

- See this part?

- Uh-huh.

Lets you see inside of the food.

Cool.

So, you can see if it's got

genetically modified food in it.

You got to be really

gentle with these.

They're super high tech.

What do you see?

OK, guys, look over there

at McDonald's.

Daddy, are you crazy?

There's no GMOs.

Is there anything on the menu

thats not genetically modified?

Give me one minute.

Yeah. I'm in search of food

that's not genetically modified.

- OK.

- It's kind of a question I'm on.

I figured we could

just go to Whole Foods,

the biggest organic

supermarket in the county.

But I was wrong.

Eighty percent of all

processed foods contain GMOs

and even Whole Foods

hasn't stayed pure.

You guys don't carry GMOs,

do you at Whole Foods?

Um... we're not supposed to.

Thank you, bye.

OK, he said all of our

produce are 100% GMO free.

Our meat department is GMO free.

- All the meat?

- Uh-huh.

Is like GMO-free, they

don't eat GMO corn or soy?

If it's not organic,

it most likely is fed

genetically modified feed.

At the time, I still thought

that "All-natural"

meant something. It doesn't.

I wonder if this

is... it says "All-natural",

but milk,

since it's not organic,
