Product Description
Now Jeffrey M. Smiths best-selling book is paired with a new DVD and CD set that shows how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) put our health and environment at risk. This set will impact consumer perceptions and buying habits. DVD 1: Unnatural Selection This stunning, award-winning documentary by Bertram Verhaag and Gabriele Kröber reveals harsh consequences of genetic engineering on three continents. Vandana Shiva, Andrew Kimbrell, Percy Schmeiser and others, describe uncontrollable, self-replicating GM contamination, failed crops, farmer suicides, and new GM animals that threaten natural populations. "Best Film," (CineEco, Portugal), "Best Long Production," (IEFF, Brazil), and "Best Journalistic Achievement," (IEFF, Germany). "Meticulously researched, excellently photographed" Ökomedia DVD 2: Hidden Dangers in Kids Meals: Genetically Engineered Foods Shocking research results, inadequate regulations and warnings from eminent scientists explain why GM foods are dangerous and should be removed from kids meals. The dramatic story of how student behavior in a Wisconsin school was transformed with a healthy diet provides added motivation to make a change. It features Jeffrey Smith and more than a dozen scientists and experts. "Hidden Dangers pierces the myth that our government is protecting our food supply." John Robbins, Diet for a New America "It will change the way you look at food forever." Howard Lyman, Mad Cowboy Audio CD: Youre Eating WHAT? Jeffrey Smiths riveting one-hour talk. "The most powerful presentation I have ever heard on the issue of genetically engineered foods. Craig Winters, The Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Foods Seeds of Deception This is the top-rated, best selling book in the world on GM foods. Smith exposes the serious health dangers of genetically modified foods and the corporate cover-up. A fast-paced thriller of industry manipulation and political collusion, combined with lucid descriptions of genetic engineering and guidance on how to protect yourself and your family.

Make Everybody Sick for Fun and Profit! March 9, 2010
Brian (Tacoma, WA)
So the Rockefellers and their gang of international gangster/bankers are at it again- this time centralizing control over the world's food supply. Perenial Rockefeller cheerleader and sycophant Henry Kissinger apparently dreamed up this scheme, and even has the gaul to gush over how control over the world food supply can be used as a weapon against anybody who opposes his psychopath bosses. As usual there is abundant solid doucmentation of everything, yet "somehow" no attention is paid by the mainstream media. Oh, by the way: those genetically modified foods you're eating (to include 89% of the U.S. soy crop, and >80% of the U.S. corn crop) may modify bacteria growing in your gut, possibly leading to allergies, altered antibiotic resistance, and other health problems. Get on the phone to your Senator, because this isn't coming- it's here.

Stop being a guinea pig for Monsanto February 7, 2010

Monsanto doesn't want you to read this book. They know you will be angry. And you will be totally right to be angry.
First of all, let's examine closely what a corporation like Monsanto is. Big corporations always try to get hold on a monopoly. The advantage of a monopoly is that the free market is eliminated. Think oil, central banks, patented drugs, patented pesticides, etc. More recently genetically modified seeds were developed, 75 % of which are engineered to withstand the otherwise deadly application of an herbicide - naturally : the brand the same corporation produces ("Roundup Ready"). Excellent news for stockholders of Monsanto, but what's in it for us, poor consumers ? Well, actually, as this book explains very well : absolutely nothing.
This was a huge challenge for the marketing department of Monsanto to start with. They try to sell us the idea that GM crops will "eliminate hunger in the Third World". This is absurd : hunger is not caused by lack of food, but by its unequal distribution. Therefore, the Rockefeller Foundation came up with another strategy. They funded the development of "golden rice", which would "prevent blindness and infection in millions of children' suffering from vitamin-A deficiency". Or how to complicate a simple problem. Why not educate poor people to grow vegetables on the margins of their rice fields ? Or why not considering distributing vitamin A tablets ? "At a cost of only $.05 per tablet, only $25,000 is needed to prevent 500,000 children from going blind per year. Contrast this with golden rice, which has cost more than $100 million dollars so far, and is not yet ready", the author says. On top of this, the "golden rice" provides so little vitamin A a two-year-old child would need to eat seven pounds per day. Likewise, an adult would need to eat nearly twenty pounds to get the daily recommended dose.
On top of that, the scarce investigation available shows that GM crops have *less nutritional value* than natural crops. Dr. Arpad Pusztai discovered that GM potatoes provide 20 % less proteins than natural species. Roundup Ready soy has also significantly lower levels of protein and other important nutrients, but higher levels of a potentially damaging lectin.
Animals sense the potential danger of GM crops. If cows, hogs, mice, squirrels, elk, deer and raccoons can choose, they leave the GM crops alone. This is a huge problem when experiments are performed on GM crops. Rats didn't want to eat the "immortal" tomato - still fresh, red and ripe... 150 days after picking... They had to be force-fed this artificial "food". The rodents knew something was wrong, and they were right. Seven of forty animals died within two weeks. Consequently, the tomato was approved. Huh ? Yeah, I am sorry. If you still believe the FDA was there to protect your health, time to wake up ! The FDA considers GM crops "substantially equivalent" to natural crops, and no experiment whatsoever will change its view on this matter. The FDA has in fact turned into the Washington branch office of Monsanto and Big Pharma.
Probably, you won't be aware that GM crops are abundant in the current diet, in *your* current diet. "GM foods are a regular part of the U.S. diet. Approximately 80 percent of the soy and 38 percent of the corn planted in the U.S. in 2003 is genetically engineered. Derivatives from these two crops are found in about 70 percent of processed foods. In addition, 70 percent of the cotton crop and more than 60 percent of the canola crop, both used for cooking oil, are also genetically modified".
Scientists like Dr. Arpad Pusztai are astonished : "I find that it is very, very unfair to use our fellow citizens as guinea pigs. We have to find the guinea pigs in the laboratory." But the FDA prefers to use the whole US-population for this purpose. The record so far is the following : "According to a March 2001 article in the New York Times, "The CDC (Center for Disease Control) now says that food is responsible for twice the number of illnesses in the United States as scientists thought just seven years ago... At least 80 percent of food-related illnesses are caused by viruses or other pathogens that scientists cannot even identify." The reported cases include 5,000 deaths, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 76 million illnesses per year. This increase roughly corresponds to the period when Americans have been eating GM food."
Digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome, acne, eczema, headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome and lethargy are all possible complaints when eating genetically modified Roundup Ready soy, following John Graham of the York Laboratory.
The last chapter of this book deals with how to avoid GM crops in your menu. This book is highly recommended. Buy it, read it, and distribute it amongst your family members and friends.
Absolutely brilliant and excellent value for money. October 17, 2009

Now that the GM gangsters have the full co-operation of their cousins in British media and government, going as far as commissioning a shamelessly dishonest BBC program (The Future of Food), it's down to independent scientists like Jeffrey Smith to produce these great wake-up calls in the form of documentaries and books like these and up to us to disseminate them, and discuss them with the people we can reach. Buy a bunch of these packs and give them as Christmas presents instead of the latest blockbuster DVDs you were going to buy!!

Maybe, just maybe, if every law maker would read this book, and/or every voter held their feet to the fire, this nightmare could end some day. EVERYONE should read this book, whether from a moral (all the lies), health (all the DNA damage we will face), ecological (cross pollination, destroyed native plants), economic (talk about a monopoly; buy my seeds or starve), religious (Leviticus 19:19)...it is beyond the pale of human imagination that this is happening with government approval. No, more, with government running interference. Buy your openpollinted seeds now before it is FOREVER too late.
