demonstrations happening in the u.s. where the company was founded more than a century ago artie's on a starship churkin a reports of new york. throughout the world and in dozens of cities across the united states weekends of action against monsanto takes place in the heart of the protests in the big apple where hundreds of people have been marching through the streets of the city demanding that monsanto put an end to its actions the corporate giant the biotech global giant has been very controversial its existence for over a century accused of genetically engineered and genetically modified agriculture and food accused of turning a blind eye on the health consequences of the food that it produces and also immense lobbying powers that it has in washington d.c. for one piece of sleeping in the same bed really with politicians blocking any kind of legislation that would make life for money how months santillan more difficult

and promoting and pushing through legislation that protects the rights of this biotech giant these companies are manipulating the food chain to their own advantage for monetary gain there's a few people making a lot of money and we deserve to have better then there may be no way to fully tackle them even votes which monsanto might santo in the government are one we have a supreme court justice. who is a lawyer for the month sent to corp how much independence do we have really in our government all of these people that have come out onto the streets according to our estimates throughout the world it's hundreds of thousands of people protesting this weekend and now global marches against monsanto what they're demanding is a labeling object most and also demanding further scientific research into genetically engineered genetically modified products and food and what they're hoping is that these big corporations such as monsanto at least begin to have less

power and the voice of the people is heard that legislators begin to understand what it is that people want especially in the united states where any kind of significant legislation against monsanto has traditionally been blocked by legislators to say archie new york on the eve of the day of action against monsanto the senate has scrapped a bill allowing states to decide whether to put labels on or not if you modify products or he's making lopez explains why the law makers think people don't need to know whether or not they're eating g.m. foods. for years now americans have been concerned about the food in their refrigerators and more importantly the ingredients in those foods the debate over genetically modified crops isn't only playing out in the fields it's being harvested in the courtrooms as well as within the walls of capitol hill and it turns out the u.s. government might have a bigger stake in the biotech industry than anyone could have imagined a report released by the food and water watch group shows that the u.s.

state department played a major role in promoting g.m. foods and crops around the world the report examined diplomatic cables from two thousand and five to two thousand and nine provide the first comprehensive analysis of u.s. foreign policy when it comes to the biotech industry now here are the four stated goals that food and water watch discovered in these cables the first one is to promote biotech interests abroad they try to facilitate trade and encourage cultivation of g.m. crops second up lobby foreign governments to weaken biotech rules you can't after all profit off these countries if you can't get your products in some of them along with lobbying the need to protect biotech exports by stopping trade barriers like tariffs all this to promote and protect an estimated twenty five billion dollar industry and biotech crop exports and in particular one property monsanto which was the biggest biotech seed company in two thousand and eleven and finally reach out

to new markets by pressuring the developing countries to adopt a biotech crops the main argument here is that these crops are stronger and can end food insecurity around the world with a growing global population the state department also lobbied against the labeling of these crops and genetically modified foods they don't want any type of labels on them countries from egypt to hungary argentina to mozambique were targeted in these efforts and many of them were very receptive some of them. actually change their regulations as a result now this lobbying started happening around the same time that monsanto admitted to bribing indonesian officials and in attempt to weaken and vironment the oversight of g.e. crops now in the wake of these cable releases it appears that monsanto and other biotech firms don't need to bribe country officials anymore they have the government to do that using taxpayer money nonetheless it is the latest chapter in

a dispute over your dinner plate in washington meghan lopez r.t. . william in daughter of seeds of destruction the hidden agenda of g.m.o. explains how monsanto's pushed genetically modified products on the u.s. market this is a. strategic interest of the u.s. the agribusiness lobby which lobbied the bush sr as president i think ninety two monsanto went to the white house and had a closed door meeting with bush and got bush to agree to make sure there were no government tests whatsoever on the health and safety of g.m.o. products before they were released to the commercial public rats that would give movements up to rice corn and other had. huge incidence of cancer tumors compared with nonviable rats they had an enormous organ damage death rates five times out of of normal rats and the study was suppressed whether it was it was downed by the

european union's food safety administration and it turns out most of the scientists on the panel had ties to monsanto so it's just the corruption that my own subject tries to infiltrate its way they try to block labeling in california because that would damage their whole. product situation in america or people are beginning to wake up. more asking what the worldwide protests against the biotech giant are likely to achieve these are the results and how they stack up on our dot com nine percent think they'll become an ongoing movement that will tame the g.m.o. industry sixty two percent less optimistic saying the rallies will increase public awareness but won't shake the lobbying power of the industry ten percent say the rallies will attract a little attention as there are more pressing issues at hand such as ending world hunger one thousand percent claim the march against months and will eventually lead to a global ban on g.m. products what do you think you can also use our comment section is shared your views if they're not represented here in our list go to r t dot com let us know if
