‘They are in the process of owning food. All food!’

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

The development and practices of Monsanto, the worlds largest corporation connected to GMO, pestizides and fertilizer are so outrages and stunning to me and touch on such vital issues for everybodies well-being, that I will continue to write about it and I will call the series ‘About food’ for now. I have the feeling ‘About water’ will follow…

Let’s start with some quotes of the documentary ‘The world according to Monsanto‘, which you should have a look at on youtube! (Note: For people in the US it is very hard to get this information, since ’somebody’ obviously does not want it to be revealed and continues to urge youtube to take the videos off their server…).

‘It shows an organization that is determinded to push its products into countries around the world and is determinded to destroy the reputation of anybody who stands in their way.’

‘They want to control seed. They want to control life.’

‘This is a bigger weapon than bombs.’

‘They are in the process of owning food. All food!’

‘The result is that Monsanto is depriving us of our food sovereignty, of our ability to feed ourselves and that we become dependent on their seeds and products.’

This is not science fiction and we are not talking ‘third world’, we are talking the US and Latin America, we are talking India and China, we are talking the British Islands, we are talking France and Germany, we are talking ‘next to you’.

Tchibo druckt mein Shirt

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Großartige Aktion von Kirsten Brodde, Textilexpertin und Redakteurin des Greenpeace Magazins. Sie bestellte Shirts über eine Tchibo Online Plattform mit subersiven Texten bedruckt wie “Dieses Shirt hat ein Kind für Tchibo genäht” oder “Tchibo Shirts: Gefertigt für Hungerlöhne”.

Tja, da hat mal jemand den Spiess umgedreht und auf eine ganz andere Art und Weise die Vorzüge von Globalisierung und Automatisierung genutzt. Sehr schön!
