Activist MICKEY Z. concisely explains everything that's wrong and bad about genetically modified crops (GMOs), particularly Monsanto's GMOs. He shows what's wrong economically, environmentally, nutritionally, politically, you name it. But GMOs are a part of a larger evil--monopolistic corporate agribusiness. And THAT is a part of an even larger evil: The System.
But people have power to bring about change, and Mickey Z offers some suggestions and examples.
With an introduction by KD.
