Description: Jeffrey M. Smith presents compelling evidence pointing to genetically engineered foods as a major contributor to rising disease rates in the US population, especially among children. Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, and infertility are just some of the problems implicated in humans, pets, livestock, and lab animals that eat genetically modified soybeans and corn. The film exposes Monsanto's strong arm tactics, the FDA's fraudulent policies, and how the USDA ignores a growing health emergency.

Donation Amount: $ 250

Description: This package includes:

- 2-DVD set of program with extra material

- Book - Genetic Roulette

- DVD - Scientists Under Attack

Independent researchers who discover problems with GMO’s often face a corporate-driven firestorm of attacks, distortion and denial. Arpad Pusztai and Ignacio Chapela are two distinguished scientists who uncovered important and disturbing facts about GMOs; soon after, their careers were in ruins. They became casualties of the vested interests that now dominate big business, politics, and scientific research. Their stories illustrate the danger of corporate control of our food system and the serious risks of this new generation of gene-spliced foods and crops.

- DVD - Food, Inc
This award-winning film about our nation's food industry exposes how our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, worker safety, and the environment. The film reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat, how it's produced and who we have become as a nation.

- DVD - Ingredients: The Local Food Movement Takes Root
This new documentary unearths the roots of the local food movement and digs into the stories of the chefs, farmers and activists transforming our broken food system. This upbeat, beautifully-photographed film introduces us to the verdant farms and pioneering restaurants where good food is produced and served, and shows the heart of an alternative food system that is healthy, sustainable and tasty.

- DVD - Fed Up!
About 70 percent of the food we eat contains genetically engineered ingredients, and the biotech industry is spending $50 million a year to convince us that this technology is our only hope. Using hilarious and disturbing archival footage and featuring interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials, and activists, Fed Up! presents an entertaining and compelling overview of our current food production system - from the Green Revolution to the Biotech Revolution - and what we can do about it.
The DVD also includes three archival films in their entirety: "Chicken of Tomorrow," "Death to Weeds," and "Man and His Culture."
