Cloudy with a Chance of…..
What are GMOs? GMOs are genetically modified organisms. Sounds harmless enough? NO! Why is that so many third world countries will not accept GMO seeds or products from the USA? Why are we seeing ecological disasters affecting animals, insects, water sources, and plants? Why are the companies that promote GMOs not supporting labeling genetically modified products as such? Lots of questions with very few answers. The main answer here, sadly, is money. This is why one of the most hated companies in America is Monsanto. If you don’t know who Monsanto is, I urge you to do some research. Start with their website and read about their efforts ” to help the world” and “GMO products are safe”.
GMOs have not been proven for long term safety. We are just now beginning to see the effects of GMO use. Now, look up March Against Monsanto, The Non-GMO Project, and Organic Consumers Association. Read what they say about GMOs and Monsanto.
While the idea Monsanto portrays is wonderful…..feeding the planet, helping farmers, and creating sustainability, there is a more insidious side to it all. At what cost are they achieving these things? I believe there is no greater cost than that of our very own planet and its inhabitants. If you really want to avoid GMOs; buy only organic products AND support organizations that are speaking out against GMOs or at least support organizations that are pushing for GMO labeling.
Street people kidnapped
Hid from view
To save the Earth
Our rulers met
Some had other secret plans
No, no, no, no
Biotech, biotech
Biotech, say what?
Strip mine the Amazon
Of cells of life itself
Gold rush for genes is on
Natives get nothing
Biotech, biotech
Biotech is Godzilla
Godzilla
Mutations cooked in labs
Money mad experiments
New food and medicine?
New germs and accidents
Like Cubatao
World’s most polluted town
Air melts your face
Deformed children all around
Bio technology
Ain’t what’s so bad
Like all technology
It’s in the wrong hands
Cut throat corporations
Don’t give a damn
When lots of people die
From what they’ve made
Biotech, biotech
Biotech is A.I.D.S.?
Stop
Remember, a healthy planet begins with you!
