The control of our food supply has been changing hands and consolidating. Genetic engineering is a major tool in this changing of the guard as seed companies introduce varieties that prevent traditional seed saving and force dependence upon the company for new seeds each year. A major concern about genetic engineering is the lack of or suppression of studies about the results to human health. One scientist whose research found that rats fed a diet of genetically altered potatoes experienced a depressed immune response, a change in the prostate, and weight changes in many organs was suspended and had a gag order imposed. Perhaps the boldest comment on record regarding the food issue was made by an authority on the use of food as a weapon.
Food is power.
We use it to change behavior. Some may call that bribery. One cannot eat oil. A curious relationship has coalesced between chemical companies, seed companies and pharmaceutical companies. Multi-national companies saw that the seed business was profitable.
