VIDEO: The World According to Monsanto - Full Documentary

One of our favorite blogs, Twilight Earth, recently posted The World According to Monsanto in its entirety - albeit, broken into 10 parts so that it could be viewed via YouTube. Everyone should see this.

From their post:

The World According to Monsanto is an in-depth Documentary that looks at the domination of the agricultural industry from one of the world’s most insidious and powerful companies.We are pleased to bring you the full documentary in 10 parts.

This is one of the most powerful, must see films for anyone interested in the behind the scenes world of the food industry, and how just one world dominating corporation holds the keys and patents to much of the worlds food supply.

Monsanto, which started out as one of the planets largest chemical companies is also responsible for such chemical compounds as Agent Orange, Bovine Growth Hormone, PCBs and genetically-engineered crops.
