Guest guest Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 For anyone interested in the Monsanto/GMO issue, there's a really well done documentary about it. you can watch it on the web: http://www.hulu.com/watch/67878/the-future-of-food I've been trying to get friends and family to watch it. It seems to me like a good way to raise awareness about the issue and the movie is well done enough that people don't find you to be a conspiracy theorist when you ask them to watch it. > > May be beyond the scope of iodine but seems like it fits the things we need > to be concerned about.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 This was an awesome movie! I think everyone should see it if only to be an " informed human that walks the planet " . Food inc is another one as well. They should show these in school for the same reason Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry GMO food (slight OT) For anyone interested in the Monsanto/GMO issue, there's a really well done documentary about it. you can watch it on the web: http://www.hulu.com/watch/67878/the-future-of-food I've been trying to get friends and family to watch it.
