There is a revolution going on in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America, a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the   more...food we eat. THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.

There is a cabal of power-hungry corporations that are systematically destroying humanity's future. These companies have taken over the food supply, injected pesticides, viruses and invading genes into staple crops, engineered "terminator" genes that make crop seeds unviable, destroyed the livelihood of farmers and used every tactic they could think of -- legal threats, intimidation, bribery, monopolistic market practices and many more -- to gain monopolistic control over the global food supply.

One documentary brings you this astonishing story. Through the testimony of family farmers, ecological scientists, agricultural experts and numerous public documents, The Future of Food tells a horrifying, heart-stopping story of how Big Agriculture has sold out the future of human civilization for the almighty dollar.

The Future of Food is a compelling, eye-opening documentary that I consider a "must-see documentary" by anyone who eats food (which probably includes you). Even if you think you know everything worth knowing about your food, there's still a dark secret the biotech companies believe U.S. consumers should not be allowed to know: That many foods are genetically engineered with dangerous pesticides and foreign DNA, and there is currently no U.S. law requiring their labeling as such.

Do whatever it takes to see this documentary. Buy it, rent it, or view it online by clicking here to watch it on Google Video. Just make sure you watch this film.

It starts off looking a bit boring. But stick with it. The film picks up steam after the first ten minutes, and then it takes you on an outrageous ride that will have you gripping the edge of your seat, shaking your head in disbelief. Watch this entire film from start to finish, and then, when you're done watching it, send the link to your friends. This is an extremely important documentary for our time. Don't make another trip to the grocery store without seeing this film!

The future of humanity is determined by the future of food
What's at stake here is not merely control over today's food profits. The actions taken by Big Agriculture are systematically destroying the very agricultural biodiversity that will one day be desperately needed to save us from a global food crash. And at the same time these multinational agricultural giants are destroying our food biodiversity, they're also patenting seeds, then using imperialistic intellectual property law to extort profits from farmers, universities and research institutions all over the world.

The whole problem of genetically engineered crops became a tidal wave of trouble following the U.S. Supreme Court's ill-fated decision in 1980 to allow corporations to patent life. The patenting of the first genetically engineered microbe opened the floodgates to corporate greed, and it wasn't long before Big Ag firms began patenting every seed they could get their hands on (a process called "biopiracy"), stealing the inventions of nature and declaring them to be their own.

Today, an astonishing 20 percent of the human genome is now owned by corporations. The simple act of reproducing by having children is now a violation of U.S. patent law. Technically, the corporations that "own" these human genes could sue the parents of all newborns, demanding royalty payments for the use of their intellectual property.

The American biotechnology firm, Monsanto, has applied for a patent
for pig breeding in 160 countries. The patent is for specific parts
of the more... genetic material of pigs which Monsanto's genetic   more...researchers
have decoded. If this patent is granted, pig breeding would be
possible with the approval of the company.

Farmers and breeders are naturally alarmed because these genes have
long existed in the great majority of their pigs. Using DNA tests
they can prove that there is no new invention in the patent
applications but that, instead, granting this patent would be to
allow a part of nature to fall into the hands of a single company.

Monsanto's influence on the patent offices is huge. If the patent
is approved, money will have to be paid to Monsanto for every pig
in the world carrying this genetic marker. This has long been the
case for certain feedstuffs, such as genetically modified maize.
Many farmers in the US have already become dependent on the company.
It is not merely a question of money, however, but also a question
of the risk posed to consumers. In America, as in Europe, cases of
infertility in animals fed with genetically modified maize are
becoming increasingly common. No-one yet knows what effects such
products are having on humans.  less
