The Future of Food (88 Minutes)
There are power-hungry corporations systematically destroying humanity's future.

Even if you think you know everything worth knowing about your food, there's still a dark secret the biotech companies believe U.S. consumer should not be allowed to know: That many foods are genetically engineered with dangerous pesticides and foreign DNA, and there is currently no U.S. law requiring their labeling as such.
