And yet they give more and more F & P"s with their GMO SEEDS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Bravo to those Haitian farmers. Unlike most of our farmers, they"ve obviously done their research, and know that GM food is just another way for certain Western companies to control the world food supply.
Shame on Monsanto for pretending that their toxic "donation" was intended to help Haiti. Shame on Monsanto of exploiting the hardship and poverty of others to grab control.
Shame on you and the other multinationals who are eroding our diversity and free choice. I feel ashamed for your children and grandchildren who do not realise that their comfortable little lives are built on the misery, poverty and hunger of millions of other little children. I feel ashamed for them when one day they realise that their own countrymen are being fed toxic food because of your greed.
Should politicians do anything to stop GM foods? Of course they should. But most of them probably have fingers in the profit-making pie, as they do in the big profitable pharmaceutical pie and the armaments pie. Don"t look for help there.
It"s up to us to demand action, to put our votes where they count, to support GM free industries and farms. It"s up to us to be willing to pay a little more for healthy food, so that more farmers and small grocers can make a decent living providing it for us.

Monsanto donated vegetable seeds to farmers in Haiti, to help increase food production and aid the country during its recovery. The reason for us donating the seeds that we did? The Haitian people need good quality seed, because the better the seed, the better the chances for more food from the same land.
The post above has some inaccurate information regarding Monsanto"s seed donation, including information that Thiram belonged to the ethylene bisdithiocarbamates (EBDCs) class of chemicals. This is incorrect. The current classification is (dimethyl dithiocarbamate) DMDC. Source: Oregon State University, 1996.

我覺得道理很簡單：
1. 海地需要幫助以便從自然災(zāi)害中復(fù)蘇?！ ?nbsp;
2. 海地需要為了未來重建一切?！ ?nbsp;
3. 拒絕孟山都的“捐贈(zèng)”并不意味著海地不需要幫助，卻意味著孟山都的“幫助”代價(jià)太高昂?！?nbsp;
4. 如果使用了孟山都提供的種子，海地未來的食品生產(chǎn)和生物多樣性將或者可能受到無法挽回的損害。以明天為代價(jià)的今天的幫助并不是真正的“幫助”?！ ?/STRONG>
如果美國向海地派遣陸軍工程兵部隊(duì)和海軍工程營用紙板重建他們的城市，可以提供避難所，但能用多久呢，但將來的代價(jià)多大呢？這是一個(gè)有價(jià)值的捐贈(zèng)嗎？
不是每一個(gè)禮物都值得收下。具體到孟山都的種子，海地農(nóng)民在保護(hù)他們的未來和后代方面很小心謹(jǐn)慎，失去的捐贈(zèng)會(huì)有損失，但長期的損失要會(huì)比他們現(xiàn)在的損失大。
我們美國人難以認(rèn)識(shí)到明天比今天重要。海地人對(duì)這個(gè)問題的認(rèn)識(shí)比我們深刻得多?！ ?/p>
I think the point is quite simple:
1. Haiti needs help recovering from their natural disaster
2. Haiti needs to rebuild everything for their future
3. The rejection of Monsanto"s "donation" does not mean Haiti needs no help, it means the "help" from Monsanto comes at too high a price
4. The future of the food production and biodiversity of Haiti will/may be irreparably compromised if the seed provided by Monsanto is utilized
Help today at the cost of tomorrow is not exactly "Help".
If we sent the Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy CB to Haiti to rebuild their city out of cardboard it would provide shelter, but for how long, and at what cost in the future? Would that be a valuable donation?
Not every gift is worthy of receipt. In the case of the Monsanto seed, the Haitian farmers are careful and cautious about preserving their future and the future of their young at the expense of a donation that may cost them more in the long run than it cost them now.
Americans (we) have a difficult time recognizing that tomorrow is more important than today. The Haitians have a much stronger grasp on that concept than we do.

Fytthefutr 06/10/2010 12:38PM
Jjdoublej：即使它們只是雜交種子，大部分也是不育的。那么，你可以留下想要的所有種子，但如果有發(fā)芽，也很稀少。所以你來年還是得老老實(shí)實(shí)回去買更多的種子。大多數(shù)種子公司都知道這點(diǎn)，所以往往提供更多的雜交種子，結(jié)果你只能向他們買更多的種子，而你自己卻留不了自己的種子。所以，你應(yīng)該仔細(xì)看看你的那些言論，而不是說別人在說荒唐的廢話，把你的頭埋進(jìn)沙子吧。
jjdoublej Even if they are just hybrid seeds, most hybrids are sterile. So you could save all the seeds you want, but would get very few if any to germinate. So you would still be right back to buying more seeds next year. Most seed companies are aware of this, and tend to offer more hybrids, so that you have to buy more seeds from them, rather than being able to save your own. So maybe you should actually look into the claims that you are making instead of saying its ridiculous crap and burying your head in the sand.

Anna 06/13/2010 6:40PM
致David C:
讓我給你澄清一下?！ ?nbsp;
1．“我記得有人批評(píng)他們制作的種子造成植株不育” – 植株不育的意思是你不能使有些植株結(jié)出種子， 你不能留種子，來年就不能讓種子繁育成新的作物。相反，你得回頭去找孟山都，來年要花更多的美鈔?！ ?nbsp;
2. “也有人批評(píng)他們向世界基因庫傾倒他們的轉(zhuǎn)基因” – 由于玉米類作物是風(fēng)媒授粉，轉(zhuǎn)基因作物就可自由地與其他非轉(zhuǎn)基因作物混雜，這意味著作物的整體基因種類萎縮，逐漸地，更多作物被轉(zhuǎn)基因花粉授粉。更多的同類作物(在基因?qū)用嫔?意味著這些更大的可能性：更寬廣的病害傳播途徑、缺乏抗病力、甚至有可能降低營養(yǎng)價(jià)值。由于異花授粉，轉(zhuǎn)基因植物的種植使其他農(nóng)民難以保護(hù)他們同種作物的正宗品種 (眾所周知，孟山都此時(shí)就起訴非轉(zhuǎn)基因農(nóng)戶，因?yàn)樗麄兊淖魑餂]有被認(rèn)為是孟山都作物)?！ ?nbsp;
如果你不明白這些道理，那你就應(yīng)該深思到底誰才是真正的白癡。
@ David C.
Let me clarify for you:
1. "i remember them getting criticized for making seeds that make sterile plants" - sterile plants means you can"t let some plants go to seed, save them, and generate a new crop from those seeds the next year. Instead, you have to head back to Monsanto and spend more $ next year.
2. "they get criticized for their gmos dumping their genetics into the global gene pool" - GMOs freely mixing with other non-GMO plants thank to air pollinating crops such as corn means the overall variety of crop genetics becomes dwindled and gradually more crops become fertilized w. GMO pollen. More of the same type of plant (on a genetic level) means higher likelihood of broad disease spread, lack of disease resistance, and possibly even a reduction in nutritional value. GMO cropping makes it difficult for other farmers to protect the heirloom varieties of the same crop thanks to cross-pollination (at which point Monsanto has been known to sue the non-GMO farmer because their crop could not be considered Monstanto crop).
If that doesn"t make sense to you, you should think deeply about who the real idiot in this situation is.

美國捐贈(zèng)并期待農(nóng)民們表示感激，這是美國的一貫做派。他們竟敢說不要美國的種子？難道他們不知道美國統(tǒng)治著世界嗎？
How typical of America to donate and expect the peasants to be grateful. How dare they say they don"t want the seeds? Don"t they know that America rules the world?

孟都山不是美國！聽著！我完全反對(duì)孟山都的胡作非為。咱們不要想著省事。孟山都肯定有一些隱藏“不深”的動(dòng)機(jī)！但是請(qǐng)不要把整個(gè)國家等同于一個(gè)公司?！ ?/p>
Monsanto is not America! Come on! and I am really against Monsanto practices. Let"s not take shortcuts. Monsanto has some "not-so" hidden motives for sure! But please do not equates a whole country with one company!

Doc Mudd，我明顯感覺到你是一個(gè)受雇的槍手，目的就是要掩蓋真相。
孟山都的本質(zhì)特性以及有案可稽的違法和暴虐行為都揭示出這樣一個(gè)陰謀：他們優(yōu)先考慮的是利潤，而不是健康、安全和市場的獨(dú)立性?！ ?nbsp;
我說“如果我說得不夠清楚”的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我裝傻。我操孟山都那些麻木不仁的烏龜們的娘。如果用一種災(zāi)難性的方式去掠奪一個(gè)未來的市場可以被定義為“慈善”，那么我寧愿不要孟山都這樣的施主，我寧愿挨餓。
Doc Mudd I get the distinct impression you are a hired goon intent on not seeing the truth of the matter.
Monsanto"s general nature, and record of illegal and abusive activity evinces a scheme where profit is prioritized over health, safety, and market independence.
Allow me to play the fool when I say, if I haven"t said it clearly enough, fuck the monopolistic uncaring cunts at Monsanto. If using a tragedy as a method to secure a future market is defined as "charity" then I rather not have Monsanto as my benefactor. I would just as soon starve.

Doc Mudd， 如果你一直看書的話，用好像僅僅作為“辦公室農(nóng)學(xué)家”來評(píng)論這篇文章是不夠的。我就是農(nóng)學(xué)家，碰巧在第三世界花了很多時(shí)間。我可以告訴你開放授粉（正宗）種子的優(yōu)勢種子是真實(shí)的。海地人明智地拒絕這些所謂禮物的原因有很多，但至少不是因?yàn)槊仙蕉伎膳碌母櫽涗?。轉(zhuǎn)基因種子和雜交種子總是對(duì)開發(fā)者有利，一直這樣！雜交種子在某些農(nóng)場會(huì)產(chǎn)生優(yōu)勢，但不是在發(fā)展中國家或者不穩(wěn)定國家。
Doc Mudd,
If you have been reading, there appears to be more than just "armchair agronomists" commenting on this article. I happen to be an agronomist that spends much of my time in the third world, and I can tell you that the advantages of open pollinated (heirloom) seeds are real. There are many reasons why the Haitians are wise to reject this so called gift, the least of which is not Monsanto"s horrible track record. Gm and hybrid seeds are always going to favor the producer,always! Hybrid seeds have their advantages in certain farm production, but not in developing or unstable countries.

（譯者注：是的，海地可以種植這些種子產(chǎn)出糧食，但代價(jià)是什么？！一旦種子打入了他們的農(nóng)業(yè)，孟都山就主宰了這個(gè)島國。海地人可不像美國人那么傻。他們明白孟山都強(qiáng)加給美國農(nóng)民的專利會(huì)毀掉他們。）

【簡明資料：什么是轉(zhuǎn)基因食品？】轉(zhuǎn)基因，就是把A生物比如昆蟲、動(dòng)物、細(xì)菌的一部分基因，轉(zhuǎn)移到B生物比如蔬菜、水果、糧食中去，改變B生物的自然特性，達(dá)到人的要求。例如，科學(xué)家將北極魚體內(nèi)某個(gè)有防凍作用的基因抽出來植入西紅柿里，制造出耐寒西紅柿，就是一種“轉(zhuǎn)基因食品”。例如，把細(xì)菌中的有毒基因植入水稻中，水稻就能產(chǎn)生抗蟲毒素，殺死水稻害蟲。對(duì)人有劇毒的轉(zhuǎn)基因食品三大危害：一代致病，二代致傻，三代絕育。http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_67928ef80100jk9g.html
