While it can occur naturally as the result of volcanic activity, which is difficult to prevent; it’s also used in pesticides, insecticides and as a food additive for some livestock.

Monsanto, on the other hand, is killing the entire planet, and people are still totally in the dark about it. It’s not ONLY about genetically engineering food, it’s also about the water supply, the soil, the birds and the bees, the other countries on this planet, the news laws coming being put in place to protect corporations, etc……

A great documentary is “The World According to Monsanto” http://vimeo.com/37811912 and “Bitter Seeds” about what is happening in India and “Genetic Roulette” about health effects. All can be found on the world wide web.

AAA should Google to find out about ARSENIC in water.

Water quality must be monitored. The authorities’ answer is idiotic (par for the course). Other news indicates CR to join in protest against Monsanto’s GM seeds. Arsenic is KILLING people and we are worried about GM!
