Horticultor. Tiene un pequeño negocio familiar en las tierras de Lleida, España. Es conocido por su gran defensa en su país de la planta STEVIA, que en su forma natural es muy eficaz en la sanación de las personas que tienen diabetes, pero también es un potente edulcorante que usándolo en lugar del azucar blanco puede prevenir diversas patologías.
Josep también esta en una lucha personal contra las plantas transgénicas y sus nocivos resultados dando a conocer públicamente que el uso de estos productos son perjudiciales y desenmascarando a los grandes lobees industriales que existen detrás de esta practica y que su único objetivo es ganar dinero aun que sea a costa de la salud de la gente.
Defensor de los productos naturales para el consumo humano, nos desvela en esta entrevista una nueva maniobra de las multinacionales para engañar una vez mas a aquellas personas incautas que deciden no informarse. La TRUVIA o el engendro de la Stevia, donde tan solo un 1% es realmente Stevia pero la quieren vender como si fura pura.

Máximo Sandín es Doctor en Ciencias Biólogicas y en Bioantropología, y ejerce como profesor de Evolución Humana y Ecología en el Departamento de Biología de la Universidad Autonoma de Madrid.
Según él, el darwinismo se ha convertido en una especie de religión, en una justificación del sistema económico vigente. La teoría de "La Selección Natural" por la cual los más fuertes son los más aptos y los únicos que deben sobrevivir, justifica la creencia de que debemos vivir constantemente en competencia. Para Sandín, la naturaleza es algo de una enorme armonía donde no hay basura en los genomas ni virus o bacterias asesinos.

Genetically Modified Food Issues - Educational Video Part 3
Fed Up! Genetic Engineering, Industrial Agriculture, and Sustainable Alternatives. About 70% of the food we eat contains genetically modified ingredients and is not labeled. The biotechnology industry is spending $50 million a year to convince us that this technology is our only hope for feeding the world and saving the environment. Family farmers are disappearing at an astonishing rate as people continue to go hungry both here and abroad. Using hilarious and disturbing archival footage and featuring interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials and activists, FED UP! presents an entertaining, informative and compelling overview of our food production system from the Green Revolution to the Biotech Revolution and what we can do about it. An issue that has entered the mainstream media in a lot of countries (noticeably not really in the US) is Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM) of food. A lot of food that we eat today contains genetically modified ingredients and usually without our knowledge. Supporters of this technology maintain that it ensures and sustains food security around the world as the population increases. As time goes on, the science behind genetic engineering is no doubt improving. Biotechnology could be the wave of the future and genetically modified foods could really provide alternatives to help increase food production. However, there is a growing wave of concern from citizens, farmers and scientists who question the way the research is currently being handled by a few large, profit-hungry corporations. That is, as well as scientific debates on the merits of genetically engineered food, there are equally, if not more important, debates on the socioeconomic ramifications of the way such science is marketed and used. Critics believe: The problem of food shortages is a political and economic problem. Food shortages and hunger are -- and will be -- experienced by the poorer nations. GE Food is an expensive technology that the farmers of the developing nations would not be able to afford easily. Patenting laws go against the poor around the world and allow biotech companies to benefit from patenting indigenous knowledge often without consent. This is a very young and untested technology and may not be the answer just yet. Crop uniformity, which the biotech firms are promoting, will reduce genetic diversity making them more vulnerable to disease and pests. This furthers the need for pesticides (often created by the same companies creating and promoting genetically engineered crops). Hence this leads to questions of the motives of corporations and countries who are using the plight of the developing world as a marketing strategy to gain acceptance of GE food as well as dependency upon it via intellectual property rights. That they are against any labeling or other precautionary steps and measures that states may wish to take is of paramount concern. The way in which we reach the answer to the question, "are GE foods safe?" is where a lot of the problem lies. A quick acceptance of GE foods without proper testing etc. could show corporate profitability to be very influential, while a thorough debate and sufficient public participation would ensure that real social and environmental concerns are in fact adhered to. And this pattern would probably indicate to us how other major issues in the future ought to be dealt with. There is also the issue of do we actually need genetically engineered food, given that agriculture in small biodiverse farms are actually very productive. Economics and politics at all levels, (international, national and local) have often prevented food from reaching hungry people, not a lack of production. These same causes have also created, or contributed to, a lot of poverty, which prevents people from being able to afford food in the first place. This section then, looks more into the political issues behind the emerging promotion of biotechnology and genetically modified or engineered foods. Producer: Angelo Sacerdote.

"How the Media Frames Political Issues" by Scott London
In The Emergence of American Political Issues (1977) McCombs and Shaw state that the most important effect of the mass media is "its ability to mentally order and organize our world for us. In short, the mass media may not be successful in telling us what to think, but they are stunningly successful in telling us what to think about."[13] The presidential observer Theodore White corroborates this conclusion in The Making of a President (1972):
The power of the press in America is a primordial one. It sets the agenda of public discussion; and this sweeping political power is unrestrained by any law. It determines what people will talk and think about - an authority that in other nations is reserved for tyrants, priests, parties and mandarins.[14]
McCombs and Shaw also note that the media's tendency to structure voters' perceptions of political reality in effect constitutes a bias: "to a considerable degree the art of politics in a democracy is the art of determining which issue dimensions are of major interest to the public or can be made salient in order to win public support."[15] http://www.scottlondon.com/reports/frames.html
I am just an anonymous citizen who firmly believes that we are the ones we are always waiting for. No saviors, heroes, leaders, gurus, or superior or inferior, we are all equals, and we need to think and behave as if it matters.
