Introduction: By Hugo Adan, Jan 3, 2014

“Terminator technology is a threat to global food security because it is aimed for use in Africa, Asia and Latin America where over 1.4 billion people –primarily poor farmers- depend on farm-saved seed”  The Ecologist, Vol 28. N.5. 1998: Title “Monsanto a checkered history” and “Revolving doors: Monsanto and the Regulators”. Check also “A Seedy Business” in http://motherjones.com/news_wire/usda-inc.html


This research was censored in 1998. At that time, Monsanto got the monopoly of GMOs, so it became the major beneficiary of the neoliberal agenda approved in 1985 and known as “Washington Consensus”.

Today Monsanto has been denounced worldwide for this new type of crime against humanity. There are reports calling Obesity 'equal to terror threat'

Here the article  OBESITY QUADRUPLES……….  From BBC

The number of overweight and obese adults in the developing world has almost quadrupled to around one billion since 1980, says a report from a UK think tank.

The Overseas Development Institute said one in three people worldwide was now overweight and urged governments to do more to influence diets.

In the UK, 64% of adults are classed as being overweight or obese.

The report predicts a "huge increase" in heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.

The ODI's Future Diets report says this is due to changing diets and a shift from eating cereals and grains to the consumption of more fats, sugar, oils and animal produce.

See table on Percentage of overweight and obese adults with BMI greater than 25, from 1980 to 2008, by region

While North America still has the highest percentage of overweight adults at 70%, regions such as Australasia and southern Latin America are now not far behind with 63%.

Diet linked to income

The greatest growth in overweight people occurred in south east Asia, where the percentage tripled from a lower starting point of 7% to 22%.

Among individual countries, the report found that overweight and obesity rates had almost doubled in China and Mexico, and risen by a third in South Africa since 1980. Many countries in the Middle East also had a high percentage of overweight adults.

One of the report authors, Steve Wiggins, said there were likely to be multiple reasons for the increases.  In emerging economies, where a large middle class of people with rising incomes was living in urban centres and not taking much physical exercise.

The consumption of fat, salt and sugar, which has increased globally according to the United Nations, is a significant factor in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers.

The world's top sugar consumers include the United States, Belgium, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

To combat the rising tide of obesity, Mr Wiggins recommends more concerted public health measures from governments, similar to those taken to limit smoking in developed countries.

With more than a third of the world’s adult population overweight, obesity is rapidly becoming one of the greatest health challenges of the 21st century. And with the weight loss industry worth billions of dollars, it’s no surprise we’re always hearing about the latest fad diet. But is dieting a matter of reducing the quantity or increasing the quality of food? What can we learn from the country that has elevated eating to the level of a philosophy? To chew over these issues, Oksana is joined by Jean-Michel Cohen, a prominent French nutritionist and inventor of the Parisian Diet. 

COMMENT 1:
David Auner :  Good interview. Cohen has much to offer but misses the fundamental problem molecules which have driven the American crisis and are being exported around the world. 95% of Americans are contaminated with frankenfats and plastics which they can't metabolize or excrete slowly - they are sick. Food labels are a joke. One example is partially hydrogenated soy and corn oils, consumers who still have the energy to care avoid these. The food industry now in breads to yogurt and milk has broken the problem triglycerides into less regulated "mono and diglycerides" which still have the same problem chemical bonds - healthier?
