Food, Money & Power Related?

Last week we saw a documentary about how food industry is managed in the US. I was very surprised to find out how corrupted this industry is. The movie we saw talked about Monsanto a company that patented the genetic code of some seeds and how this company has taken over the food system. It is of common knowledge that some plants reproduce by polinization which arrives to them by air, or other animals can serve as vectors to transport pollen. Monsanto makes every farmer pay for their seeds (the patented ones) and the farmers who want to grow their own plants still can get pollen from a patented plant so therefore Monsanto owns every crop.
We can se how this part of the industry relates to money, power and politics. In the movie we can see many examples of farmers who tried going against  Monsanto, but they end up loosing because of lawyer fees or Monsanto finds a sneaky way to win. We find the winning of the court cases by Monsanto very influenced by all the money and millions of assets this company has. This is really messed up, to the level that Monsanto made it illegal for people to ask what is in their own food. This issue related to everyone constantly and food is something every human needs to keep living so this has to be addressed soon. I watched a long documentary about this theme. If you want to know a little bit more about this theme watch this video that talks about corruption and capitalism in Monsanto company and how it uses its power to manipulate the government and the farmers.
