Monsanto kills Fox News story: BGH hormones in milk - HQ version
Monsanto kills Fox News story of their BGH hormones in your milk - HQ version
Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott and Joel Bakan released their film The Corporation in 2003 to great acclaim.
In the 6 years since then, it has won 26 International Awards, 10 international Audience Choice Awards, the Genie for Best Documentary, and has become one of the most-downloaded non-fiction films on the internet.
Sadly, the film makers’ ability to create more great documentary films isn’t funded by torrents. Why not check out their Special Edition DVD set, packed with over 8 hours of extras?

In this high-quality excerpt, Jane Akre and Steve Wilson, ex investigative reporters for Fox News, tell of Monsanto’s successful efforts to have their program profiling their product Posilac, terminated with extreme prejudice.
Don’t think for a moment that Monsanto’s strategies, tactics, and plans to dominate the food industry worldwide, have in any way changed by their recent sale of the Posilac product to Eli Lilly.

The seeds of the world are now owned primarily by one company, Monsanto. Monsanto is aiming to extend its control to pigs by patenting and thus privatising gene sequences, many of which are found naturally in pigs. Monsanto is doing this despite the fact that the pig has not yet been genetically engineered. Betzelberger is travelling around Germany encouraging farmers to protest against this “sell-out of life”. This happened in the 1990s when genetic technology was green lighted. Steven Druker, judge and civil rights activist, says “This, I believe, is one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated by any government in history.” (From Germany, in English and German, English subtitles) (Documentary) G CC WS

Monsanto is the world leader in genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as one of the most controversial corporations in industrial history. This century-old empire has created some of the most toxic products ever sold, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the herbicide Agent Orange. Based on a painstaking investigation, The World According to Monsanto puts together the pieces of the companys history, calling on hitherto unpublished documents and numerous first-hand accounts.

Food For Thought: Israeli Style
ZHANG:
If you like food, this should awaken your appetite. Israel’s Food Fair combines nutrition with novelty…for both experts and your average Joe.
STORY:
A huge variety of foods. Food processing equipment. Decorations and storage. These words come to mind when one visits the Food Fair.
The fair is also about innovation. Avocado oil, for example, makes its big debut after being on the market for only about three months.
[Tomer Greenfield, CEO, Greenfield]:
It has very high smoking point. You can cook it up to 250 degrees. It has a very good advantage: Increases the HDL, the good cholesterol and decreases the LDL, the bad cholesterol. It’s high in vitamin E too, which is a natural antioxidant, and its very good for the skin. It has also very good aroma and its good for shallow-frying fish or deep-frying.
Another Israeli invention is an interactive digital terminal for restaurants. It supplies menus for a range of dishes and when you are ready to order, you dont need to call a waiter - just press the button.
[Karin Koren, Conceptic Ltd]:
It has been installed in 35 places in Israel already, a few networks, few lines, all around the world. And because people see the picture of the dishes they tend to order more.
People crowd around the cooking demonstration of Israel Aharoni, a famous Israeli TV chef specializing in Asian cuisine. He’s also the author of several cookbooks.
[Yisrael Aharoni, Chef]:
Well… Asian food is really very popular in Israel…totally Chinese, strictly Chinesemore in the traditional Chinese food. Chinese food has its own adaptations according to the ingredients available in different countries…But more than anything it is more in the modernlike taking basic traditional and turning them into more modern forms and that is what my demonstration is about today…I travel to China a lot. Its my favorite food. Its my favorite country and I like China; I love Chinese food and that’s what I cooked for the last 30 years.
NTD, Israel.

What’s the Deal with Organic Foods? Part 2
Nutrition by Natalie
What is the difference between organic food and conventional food? Is organic really more healthy for you?
The USDA lays out certain guidelines that farms have to follow in order to be able to claim the food is organic. In this video Natalie discusses what each of those guidelines are.
What is surprising to learn is some of the growing practices of conventional farming and food processing. As an example, chemical plants and waste water treatment facilities will actually sell their toxic waist to conventional farms to use for fertilizer.
What you eat is an important part of health and nutrition.
