If you plan to read only one thing on this website, we strongly suggest reading Heartbreak in the Heartland, about Percy Schmeiser, the farmer that Monsanto sued, provided here in several languages: English - Heartbreak in the Heartland: The True Cost of Genetically Engineered Crops* Spanish - La Congoja en el Campo: El costo verdadero en los transgénicos*  French ( Québec) - Coeur brisé dans le terroir: Le véritable coût des cultures génétiquement modifiées* Chinese         Word document (Chinese font required) Hindi         Word document (Hindi font required | Download here)                   Hindi dub CD of Heartbreak is available - contact us for details  Bulgarian - Скръб в родината Japanese - (Japanese font required)  German - Rapsfarmer-David gegen Biotech-Goliath: Die wahren Kosten von gentechnisch verändertem Saatgut Russian -  (PDF file)  Давид - рапсовый фермер против Голиафа Coming Soon..... Zulu ! What Makes Percy Schmeiser So Persistent? Interview by Paul Goettlich 27may04 *  with link to free online video

Mindfully.org note: We consider all genetic engineering—plant, animal, or pharmaceutical—unsafe. Humans are not capable of understanding the complexity of life at any meaningful level. Corporate genetic engineering is less than sophomoric--much like reaching into a giant high-voltage electrical junction box while blind folded and standing barefoot in a puddle of salt water.          While the rest of the world destroys GMO crops in the fields, they cry out to the US to join them.          But US citizens are kept in the dark by corporately-owned media which scrubs all news of relevant details.          It was suggested to one over-worked environmentalist that she should "really, just get a good hobby and forget about all this trouble, and that it's no good for ones health to think about such awful news constantly."          So..... here's a suggestion for a great hobby to take your mind off of this troubled world. Let's all do some nighttime gardening, and put on a happy face. It's high time we did just that, don't you think. So be creative, and have fun at the same time.  :-)
