The other industry that benefits greatly from chemical food is the medical-pharmaceutical industry. Another bunch of trillion dollar profits from us. We get sick and then get treated with other chemicals and then die early. People could live much longer with very healthy lives, but at best we will average up to 89 year life expectancy. The human population loses years of life which reduces our population wisdom and experience gained that never gets passed on.

Farmers have very little knowledge of the nutrition-less food they produce or the damage they cause to the environment. Consumers also know very little about the damage to their bodies from conventionally grown food and processed foods. Just as the tobacco industry knew , the agricultural-food industry knows. They tell us that we have to prove that their food is bad for us. We do not have to prove anything; we need to put them out of business.

The problem is not Monsanto - it is capitalism. The march against Monsanto is misleading; it should be a march for organic produced food and against the entire agro-food industry for killing us for profits.

"When future historians come to write about our era they are not going to write about the tons of chemicals we did or didn't apply. When it comes to glyphosate they are going to write about our willingness to sacrifice our children and to jeopardize our very existence by risking the sustainability of our agriculture; all based upon failed promises and flawed science.
