Genetic Roulette : The Gamble of Our Lives

GeneticRoulette

Are you and your family on the wrong side of a bet?

When the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology.

After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the US population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), their health improves.

This seminal documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.

Eric Holt-Giménez : Food movements, agroecology, and the future of food and farming.

TransnationalInst

Public lecture: Food movements, agroecology, and the future of food and farming. Today, a billion people live in hunger. Peak oil and environmental degradation threaten the food security of billions more, particularly with half the world's population living in urban environments where they are dependent on industrially produced and imported food. A transition is urgently needed, but how? What alternative policies can enable communities to realise their own food security in the face of environmental challenges, while also improving livelihoods, building resilience, and conserving ecosystems? Many food-related movements have already emerged around the world, but what ongoing challenges do they face?

Eric Holt-Giménez gave this talk at the University of Amersterdam in the Netherlands, on Tuesday 13 December 2011. The event brought together three prominent radical thinkers each with a long background of experience in activism and academic research on transdisplinary but interconnected themes such as conservation, agro-ecology and sustainable farming, political economy and the social sciences:

Tony Weis, (Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Western Ontario and author of The Global Food Economy: The Battle for the Future of Farming), who addressed the economic and environmental problems of the dominant chemical-industrial food system; Miguel Altieri (Professor of Agroecology at the University of California, Berkeley and author of Agroecology: The Science of Sustainable Agriculture), who looked at the alternatives offered by ecological, small scale, local and urban farming; and Eric Holt-Giménez (Executive Director of Food First / Institute for Food and Development Policy, and author of Food Movements Unite!: Strategies to transform our food systems) discussed the emergence of food movements from a global perspective, as well as the divisions between North and South, urban and rural.

This event was co-organised by the Transnational Institute (TNI), the Institute of Social Studies (ISS), and the Real World Economics Group at the University of Amsterdam.

Genetic Roulette - Eating GMO Poison Agenda 21 Monsanto Roundup

WillYouStand

Wide Screen Would you feed poison to your pets, what about your kids, Genetic Roulette - The Gamble of Our Lives (http://geneticroulettemovie.com/) has audiences rushing home to clear out their cupboards of dangerous genetically modified (GM) foods. The evidence presented in the film makes the best case yet for why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are linked to disorders such as allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, infertility, autism, and cancer, to name a few. One health practitioner, Mary Tobin, L.Ac., said the film "provides abundant evidence that eating a GMO-free diet is the single most important change Americans can make for their health.

That evidence not only includes doctors and patients testimonials, but also veterinarians and farmers who describe dramatic health improvements in animals that switched to non-GMO feed. The categories of diseases that improve in humans and animals are the ones found in lab animals fed GMOs. And these are many of the same categories, e.g. immune, reproductive, and gastrointestinal disorders that have been on the rise in the US population since GMOs were introduced.

Unser täglich Brot - Our Daily Bread

ANTIGMOS

Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds - a cool, industrial environment which leaves little space for individualism. People, animals, crops and machines play a supporting role in the logistics of this system which provides our society’s standard of living.

Especulación alimentaria / Food speculation

Magnífica explicación sobre la causa de la especulación alimentaria, el aumento de los precios de los alimentos y como consecuencia, el aumento del hambre en el mundo.

Produced by WEED http://www.weed-online.org/

Food speculation mainly takes place at commodity derivatives exchanges, which are especially large in the US but also growing in the EU. Even though these exchange can have a value for agriculture, they can also be dangerous. Especially through increasing participation of finanical speculators like banks and funds, food prices more and more become a financial asset and an object of profit maximization. This can cause price distortions and increases - and thus hunger for millions. More information can be found in the article The speculator's bread. Also many scientists, analysts and public institutions have come to the conclusion that speculation can negatively influcence commodity prices (see list).

"Let thy Food be thy Medicine and thy Medicine be thy Food." -- Hippocrates

That's the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in the controversial new documentary film 'Food Matters' from first-
time Producer-Directors James Colqhuoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.

"With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and ourtendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what's wrong with
our malnourished bodies, it's no wonder that modern society is getting sicker. 'Food Matters' sets about uncovering the trillion dollar
worldwide "Sickness Industry" and giving people some scientifically verifiable solutions for curing disease naturally." - James

And in what promises to be the most contentious idea put forward, the filmmakers have interviewed several world leaders in nutrition and natural healing who claim that not only are we harming our bodies with improper nutrition, but that the right kind of foods, supplements and detoxification can be used to treat chronic illnesses as fatal as terminally diagnosed cancer.

'Food Matters' is to be launched globally via the internet using full screen video technology.

The film's official website can be found at http://www.foodmatters.tv

En un pueblo pequeño, en la región francesa de Cevennes, el alcalde decidió un día plantar cara y reaccionar cambiando la alimentación del comedor escolar. A partir de ese día, el comedor serviría sólo comida ecológica. En el pequeño pueblo como en otros sitios, la población está angustiada por la alta contaminación industrial y por los peligros que representa la contaminación de la agricultura convencional. Aquí comienza la lucha contra una lógica que podría volverse irreversible, una lucha para que el día de mañana, nuestros niños no puedan acusarnos de pasividad ante todo ello.

En "Nuestros hijos nos acusarán" aparecen discursos de científicos ante la UNESCO y también testimonios realmente estremecedores de afectados. Las consecuencias sobre la salud humana de los productos químicos de la agricultura convencional y transgénica no son nuevos. Y aunque el discurso oficial todavía lo defiende como la única salida para la alimentación mundial y niega sus graves efectos secundarios, las pruebas son cada vez más abrumadoras. La OMS decuncia que 3 millones de agricultores mueren al año por culpa de los agroquímicos, un auténtico exterminio campesino, pero ahora la toxicidad es colectiva y afecta fundamentalmente a la infancia.

Today, our bodies are the same as those of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, but our diets are very different. Microwave meals and fast-food snacks are light years away from a diet of wilted nettles and berries. In an age where obesity is a growing problem, Ray asks if there is something to be learnt by looking at the diets of our Stone Age ancestors.

Combining archaeological findings with his own extensive knowledge of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, Ray pieces together a picture of our ancestors' diet.

Professor Gordon Hillman, an expert in the use of plants through the ages, is on hand to shed light on the leaves, roots, berries and nuts that people would have eaten and to show viewers how they would have cooked them.

How safe is the so-called "Green Genetic Engineering" really? Monsanto, the world's largest genetic engineering corporation, insists it is safe. Numerous studies claim genetically modified plants can cause allergies and cancers. However, commercial and political interests are determined to make genetic engineering the norm.
