Food For Thought

I have already written my opinion on why the FDA won't approve research on or support the claim that there has been a cure for cancer found in a food.  It wouldn't be advantageous for the big Pharaceutical companies, or the medical community.

Well, I was trained in the Navy to see patterns and trends.  It just sometimes takes me a while.  I've been doing research into Monsanto, and a light bulb went off.  Maybe the two are connected.  I know this sounds like conspiracy theory, but stay with me for a moment.  I'll try to make it short.

I received a story from a fellow blogger of mine about farmers having to sign agreements that they won't save seed from GMO crops (Genetically Modified Organism, I think, can't remember what the O stands for).  Basically it's because they (Monsanto) have played with the genetic make up of the seed until it's no longer like the original.  They are able to copyright it, because they "created" it.  It becomes their intellectual property, because they've put the money of research into it.  Most crops that are genetically modified are done so for specific reasons.  They modified soy beans to be resistant to Round Up (which they can do because they also own Round Up, so they know the chemical makeup).  They have modified other vegetables and fruits to have a longer shelf life.

Now, if you put these two ideas together, somewhere there could be someone working on research to genetically modify foods to better fight cancer.  Once they modify it, they can copyright it. 

They have already forced milk companies that don't use hormones and antibiotics to not put on that they don't.  Now, milk says the FDA has determined there's no difference in the two milks.  They have already outlawed (made it illegal) to sell raw apricot kernels (and almonds, I understand) IN the United States.

If you control the food supply, you control the people.  What if they could get all foods that contain B17 genetically modified and under their control, they would control the only natural cure for cancer.  All they have to do is come out and say that the research is valad afterall, and then raise the price of the seeds.  Remember, farmers can't hold over any seeds to plant next year, so they have to buy all the seeds they need every year.    If the seeds go up in price, then naturally the fruit that's harvested will be more expensive. 

For a cure of anything to be possible in a guided demoracy is for the government to own it.
