Huh. Mock tribunal where Monsanto was tried for ecocide. Guilty on all six charges. Not a real trial, but real judges were given real information to make their decision. Very telling and interesting.

In the U.S., due to lobbying by chemical companies, there are laws on the books in all but seven states that say the local communities have no rights to ban/regulate pesticide use in their own localities! For SHAME Gov officials, for SHAME!

Nice. Active ingredients in pesticides only make up a small percentage of them. 95-99% are "inert" or "inactive" that you better believe ARE active, just not by the definition the powers that be have decided on. And those "inerts" are trade secrets! So who KNOWS what they can do to you? Enable the poison to penetrate your cell walls? Kill your cell organelles? Scary!!

In Europe, the burden of proof was on those who might be harming something to prove that it wasn't harmful, rather than on the public to prove it was harmful. America's got it @ss-backwards. Go team. :/

"...the conclusions of the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development, undertaken by the United Nations, show that ecologically organic agriculture produced more food and better food at a lower cost than either chemical agriculture or GMOs."
