モンサントの不自然な食べもの
「地球は死んでいるのではない。
殺されているのだ。
そして殺しているやつらは
名前も住所もはっきりしている。」
ユタ・フィリップス
フランスのジャーナリスト、マリー＝モニク・ロバンは、取材で世界各国を飛び回る日々を送っていた。行く先々で耳にする巨大多国籍企業「モンサント社」の黒い噂。その真偽を確かめるために、インターネットを使って情報を集め、アメリカ、インド、パラグアイ、イギリスなど現地に赴き、3年間にわたり証言を集めていった。本作は、「モンサント社」の1世紀にわたる歴史を語ると共に、現在のモンサントとその主張を、多くの証言と機密文書によって検証していく。「１ドルたりとも、儲けを失ってはならない」、その企業体質は、はたしてどんな犠牲を私たちに強いるのだろうか。そして、不利と分かりながら、巨大企業と対峙する学者や農家、多くの証言者たちの生きるための闘いは、わたしたちの闘いでもある。
The World According Monsanto
“The Earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.” utah phillips
Monsanto's controversial past combines some of the most toxic products ever sold with misleading reports, pressure tactics, collusion, and attempted corruption. They now race to genetically enginee...r (and patent) the world s food supply, which profoundly threatens our health, environment, and economy. Combining secret documents with first-hand accounts by victims, scientists, and politicians, this widely praised film exposes why Monsanto has become the world s poster child for malignant corporate influence in government and technology. A film by Marie-Monique Robin. As one farmer puts it, "The reason they do it is control. They want to control seed. They want to own life. I mean, this is the building blocks of food we are talking about. They are in the process of owning food, all food." Genetically modified seed "more powerful than bombs" And what of the future of global food security? In one interview, eco-activist Vandana Shiva asserts: "The second Green Revolution has nothing to do with food security ... it is about returns to Monsanto's profits... patenting is the real aim. If you look at Monsanto's research agenda, they are testing something like twenty crops at this point with BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) genes. There's nothing that they are leaving untouched the mustard, the okra, the rice, the brinjal (eggplant), the rice, the cauliflower once they have established the norm that seed can be owned as their property, royalties can be collected, and we will depend on them for every seed we grow, for every crop we grow. If they control seed, they control food... it's strategic, it's more powerful than bombs, more powerful than guns, and it's the best way to control the populations of the world." Importance of labelling genetically modified foods Despite the rather dismal picture it paints, the film does an excellent job in digging up and piecing the facts together, much of it easily available online (Robin also wrote a book, Le Monde Selon Monsanto, based on her investigations)... --Montreal Mirror
