March Against Monsanto Is The Beginning of The End For Monsanto

March Against Monsanto Is The Beginning of The End For Monsanto:   EXCERPT  |  " ...Even organic and natural farmers are subject to such legal attacks, since it’s possible for the patented seeds (which India calls biopiracy) to blow over to such farms and begin to grow. This is also how widespread GMO contamination begins, to which the USDA simply responds ‘get insurance’.

" ... We can even go back decades to find that Monsanto was integral in the creation of the infamous Agent Orange, a Vietnam-era chemical warfare weapon which estimates say killed or maimed around 400,000 people and caused a startling 500,000 birth defects. But the days where this information could hide as footnotes within the media are over. (May 14, 2013 . by Anthony Gucciardi. LINK) ... "

About a year ago last April, I wrote a Report from the Middle about depression, HERE. Count your blessings if you have no depression. Some say love of money, the root of all evil, invokes depression on a large scale.

EXCERPT  |  " ... A survey documented in the 2010 World of Work Report published by the International Institute for Labour Studies suggests that the [financial] crisis has induced an unprecedented global decline in life satisfaction. In concrete terms this has translated into greater pessimism about the quality of life, diminished confidence in the ability of governments to shape brighter and fairer futures, and greater social unrest among other things. (Chen, Michelle. April 28, 2012. HERE)... "

It is becoming more evident that the large corporations are not helping in this matter. Rather they continue to figure out ways for working people to pay for global take over of the food sources.

In a comment from my April, 2012 post comes this:

"Monsanto, which is almost synonymous with agriculture, developed Round-Up some years ago. It is a safe and highly effective herbicide, when used properly. The first non-selective type that is comparatively safe around the root systems of plants.(I will qualify all of my statements here because the X-factors of greed and impatience aren't included in the chemical equation of glyphosphate, which is the weed killing compound in Round-Up).
"Properly used, it is sprayed on the leaf structure of a plant, kills its way to the roots and then basically stops harming vegetation.
"Some types of food crops have been genetically altered to tolerate glyphosphate, making them able to be treated and continue growing. Other seeds have been altered with certain organic genes to prevent insect damage. The trade off is, the companies trying to help the situation are "For Profit Companies" and would like to sell more seeds. The plants are fairly sterile to facilitate replenishment by the companies involved.

"Food and fiber are important, as are many other things. American farmers are the bell tower of the world when it comes to producing and delivering these commodities. Left alone, they would make the U.S. would look like a cornucopia. Spilling out into a hungry world. (Darnell, David. July 14, 2010.) "

CONCLUSION
Genetic engineering of food sources has sped up de-evolution of mankind, and sped up the impending demise of Monsanto.

Michigan Woman Faces 93 Days in Jail for Planting a Vegetable Garden : TreeHugger

93 Days in Jail :: Veggie Tales
Retrieved by Pat Darnell  |  July 9, 2011  |  Bryan TX
This is a really great article about our lives in the neighborhoods. I have thought of planting veggies and herbs in my front yard because it is the only place we get sufficient sunshine year round. Why not?

EXCERPT  |  " ... This is not some gated community with HOA regulations. This is an ordinary, working class neighborhood in Oakland County, Michigan. Like nearly every other city in my home state right now, Oak Park is facing financial issues. Here at home, people are amazed that a cash-strapped city has the resources to investigate, charge, and prosecute a resident for something as innocuous as planting a vegetable garden. (Vanderlinden, Colleen. 7/08/2011. LINK) ..."

Oak Park, MI, city planner Kevin Rulkowski could only repeat what is common to front yards is acceptable. "... He said suitable means "common:" lawn, nice shrubs, and flowers. ..."

The city ordinance is not specific though, as to what plants are in those categories. Ninety-three days in jail, hearing on July 26th, creates a Go to Jail Card from the Monopoly Game, for planting the "wrong" plants.

How to Help

If you want to help support a gardener's right to grow food for her family (even if it is -- gasp -- in the front yard!) there are several things you can do:

1. Email or call officials for the city of Oak Park. Mrs. Bass has listed contact information for the mayor, city manager, and other city officials in the sidebar of her blog.
2. "Like" the Oak Park Hates Veggies Facebook Page.
3. Spread the word via Facebook and Twitter. By gaining attention to this particular issue, with this particular homeowner, the hope is that other cities will reconsider before they harass another homeowner for something like this.

What do you think? Should a front yard vegetable garden be a crime?

Green Gardening: A new green choice for lawn lovers
By ANN LOVEJOY | SPECIAL TO THE P-I
It's a sunny Saturday morning. A soft spring breeze mingles birdsong with the roaring of mowers as millions of Americans prepare to attack their lawns.
[ ... ]
During the coming mowing season, about 800 million gallons of gas will burn to trim American lawns. According to EPA estimates, lawn equipment produces as much as 10 percent of all air pollution. That's a huge amount.
[ ... ]
In Washington and across the country, every major waterway is contaminated with almost two-dozen toxins, about half of which comes from lawn and garden products. Again, the lawn and garden contribution is enormous.
[ ... ]
Commercial services can use even deadlier toxins than those available at your local garden center.
[ ... ] Clean Air Lawn Care also buys certified renewable energy credits to offset the emissions of their trucks. The Clean Air Lawn Care Web site even has a calculator to show how much you can reduce your carbon footprint by using this green service. (Just select "lawn calculator" at the bottom left of the home page.)

Ladd Smith, co-owner of In Harmony, said, [ ... ]"The Street of Dreams was a catalyst for change," he says. "We believe that educating the public and providing them with solutions is the way to get people to convert to a greener way of thinking."
