Now that with the help of consulting companies such as Saatchi and Saatchi S (formerly Act Now Production) and BluSkye working feverishly with Walmart to make them more sustainable, we can begin to feel somewhat good that positive change is starting to take hold at America’s most disliked company(at least in popular media). The one standout which I’m not sure what sort of consulting company will take to bring to the lighter side is Monsanto. That’s right, the first company to produce, market and sell the first GMO, the same Monsanto that makes the bovine growth hormone, the number on selling toxic herbicide Roundup and a number of other chemicals, the company that would prefer that Organic labeling of foods would just go away and if you didn’t already know, one of the chief chemical companies that made agent orange during the Vietnam war. In fact when it comes to any one company’s negative impact on the world, I’m not sure which of the two, Walmart or Monsanto(or pick your favorite oil/coal company), in their current path deserves to be in first place. This is a first of at least two post that I will be making about Monsanto. To start us out, I felt it would be fitting to provide you with this documentary on Monsanto that aired on the French TV On March 11. We’ll have to wait and see if it will ever make its way to the US. I think this video deserves to be watched and Monsanto deserves our undivided attention. If you can’t give it attention then perhaps send some loving thoughts and positive energy their way. After all, if Monsanto continues to proliferate the world with their patented GMO versions of what formerly used to be called plants, then our very existence and the health of our future generations “may” well be at stake. I say “may” because frankly neither I nor even Monsanto knows the true effects or safety of their products. If they do know, then they sure aren’t telling the general public. Companies such as Monsanto seem to be ill prepared to bring a level of awareness and consciousness to even begin to question their actions midstream between quarterly reports. Can a peaceful revolution be started at a company such as Monsanto to transform it into one which is more benevolent and at one with nature? We can only hope.
