The Future of Food

[Tinto]

I've always known that GM foods (from GMO) were unhealthy but never investigated why. Hulu features this investigatory movie called "The Future of Food" that is very enlightening.

For those interested in this topic or if you have ever eaten GM food (60% of foods such as corn, wheat, corn syrup, soy, etc. offered in US are GM) it would be very worthwhile to watch it.

There are many implications regarding GM foods outside the US as well. This movie addresses this as well. I found the "suicide gene" that the US government co-owns that makes seed crops sterile the next season of particular interest.

Here is the link for the movie:

If you are living outside the US, Hulu will be unavailable to watch unless using a proxy server. One such proxy that I like using is a software program called Hotspot Shield.

I have 12 hours of documentary on GMO's.

The thought occurred to me, it might be healthier to quit eating all together and die.

South America is not immune to US corporations insane policies.

Regarding GMF take a gander:

Food has a dramatic effect on your health, but to food companies it's just a product whose manufacturing costs should be minimized regardless of the effect (especially since the difference in quality is not discernable to the customer).
