The documentary begins by letting the viewers know that the materials used in WWII were also used in making pesticides which were sprayed on plants. Because of all of these pesticides, etc. being sprayed or embedded in our natural things, there has been great effect on materials we use every day. It has polluted water and created health risks. 90% of potato varieties are extinct and we are now left with 4 varietis being widely grown. Monsanto is a company that took it upon itself to buy all of the seed companies and embed genetically altering genes in them. If a poor farmer's crop was somehow infected with the genes, they are forced to pay a hefty fine and lose all they have. Monsant spent 88 billion doallars buying up seed companies and has over 11,000 patents.
THIS is a mess.

About Me
- Mz_Restricted
- I'm a Brooklyn Girl living in what many people call Paradise. Personality-wise, I'm just fun to be around. Another word people use to describe is crazy. Crazy in a good way, of course. To reference Shrek, I'm like an onion. There are many layers in me that people don't know about. I'm a Legal Studies major with a love for music and a lust for laughter. Writing has always been a part of my life but I've drifted away through the years. Posting is helping me get back on my creative flow so I hope you enjoy the journey! If not, well that sounds like a personal problem doesn't it?
