Not the exact quote but you get the drift.&amp;nbsp; This action of GMO seed is a major problem for the world not just one country.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Starving people need food and they don't care what kind.&amp;nbsp; They can't!&amp;nbsp; It is day to day survival, something no American can really understand regardless of what some may think.&amp;nbsp; We must&amp;nbsp;take our compassion to the next level and come to their aid through reliable sources and organizations.&amp;nbsp; It is no easy task to find one either, do your homework well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The American farmers are suffering a similar lot.&amp;nbsp; So let's not forget to fight this on the homefront also.&amp;nbsp; There is a group called Seed Savers Exchange and every backyard gardener and farmer ought, in my opinion support and participate.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.seedsavers.org/"&gt;http://www.seedsavers.org/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Thier book Seed to Seed is wonderful.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.seedsavers.org/prodinfo.asp?number=B579"&gt;http://www.seedsavers.org/prodinfo.asp?number=B579&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Find your areas variety and set up a group within your community to grow the old stand by produce that are fully functional.&amp;nbsp; If we can't get off the chain how are we to help others? They have a great books on how to harvest your own seed and preserve them for replanting.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102842" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does Donating GMO Crops to End Hunger Make Any Sense?</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Does-Donating-GMO-Crops-to-End-Hunger-Make-Any-Sense.aspx#102841</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jun 2007 04:01:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102841</guid><dc:creator>Dr. Matthew J. Loop</dc:creator><description>As soon as you mentioned Gates and Rockefeller in the same sentence, I know these poor Africans were toast! Of course, donating these crops doesn't make sense to the more enlightened individuals but a great deal of the masses are unaware of the manipulation and&lt;strong&gt; intentional &lt;/strong&gt;genicide that is going on in Africa. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm convinced Bill Gates is part of the massive underground incentive to depopulate the world. He sure gives millions of dollars toward toxic vaccinations each year. Whether the earth needs it or not, this is a human atrocity that warrants intervention. First they tell them (and us) that AIDS comes from a monkey and now they tell them that GM foods will end the hunger problems. This is propaganda at its finest. My heart goes out to the African people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102841" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does Donating GMO Crops to End Hunger Make Any Sense?</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Does-Donating-GMO-Crops-to-End-Hunger-Make-Any-Sense.aspx#102840</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 20:02:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102840</guid><dc:creator>Ray Esther M</dc:creator><description>The quick answer of course is a resounding NO!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Africans already have seed that grows best in the conditions there. What they don't have and need is a water supply that they can depend on. So many parts of Africa need wells to be dug so that the water supply that is deep underground can be brought to the surface and used to irrigate the crops. Seeds have been discovered in the pyramids in Egypt which still germinate and grow and many are the same as the ones still being grown. Problem is of course, there is no money in it, just a need for people with the ability to help, to do just that with no thought for financial return.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ray&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102840" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does Donating GMO Crops to End Hunger Make Any Sense?</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Does-Donating-GMO-Crops-to-End-Hunger-Make-Any-Sense.aspx#102838</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 18:51:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102838</guid><dc:creator>MarikaB</dc:creator><description>&lt;strong&gt;ABOLUTELY THIS MAKES SENSE!!!!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. GMO crop "givers" will have power over the continuous need of the crop for that nation&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. As AIDS this maybe the way of planned depopulation of this planet (but psst this is just another "conspiracy theory")&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3. If there is anyone from the state of NJ, I have donated "The Future of Food" two disc video to the local library. I am sure you can request it also through "Interlibrary loan" or ask the librarian for a "request slip" where you will fill in necessary info and you will get it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;4. I have heard of the video "Hemp for Victory" and it took me about 3 months to get it, but at least I know it is in circulation and can be obtained. I believe it came from Texas or some other state other than NJ.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That last video was denied it's existence until Jack Herer presented a catalog # under which this video was filed.

Some can afford organic and some cannot, etc. I think we all have to understand that each and every persons journey is different. When we pass judgement, we are just expressing unmet needs. Whether we know or want to know what they are, all judgements are hidden expressions of unmet needs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Some will agree with this post and some will not, but I think holistic health is all about being compassionate and understanding of self and others, not bashing and judging someone for the way they live or eat. &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102833" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does Donating GMO Crops to End Hunger Make Any Sense?</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Does-Donating-GMO-Crops-to-End-Hunger-Make-Any-Sense.aspx#102830</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:45:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102830</guid><dc:creator>Russ Bianchi</dc:creator><description>The Gates Foundation advisory group is CONTROLLED by Big Pharma, Big Petro Chemical, etc. names, that make these decisions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You expected such a grouping of 'usual suspects' to recommended low cost and much safer preventative models, rather&amp;nbsp;than lining their own pockets, and&amp;nbsp;promoting reactive, high cost, low results, much less safe&amp;nbsp;methodology?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bill and Melinda Gates merely fund the foundation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If Bill &amp;amp; Melinda can be gotten to, and told what is actually occurring is&amp;nbsp; the systematic REDUCTION in Microsoft platform users globally, and fewer low cost programmers in "CHINDIA", then they might make some strategic alterations in funding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Uncle Russ&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102830" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does Donating GMO Crops to End Hunger Make Any Sense?</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Does-Donating-GMO-Crops-to-End-Hunger-Make-Any-Sense.aspx#102826</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:45:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102826</guid><dc:creator>LM36</dc:creator><description>This deal will seal the fate for all Africans!&amp;nbsp; If they don't die from AIDS, drug-resistant TB, or starvation then the GMO crops will be the dirt in their mass grave.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Gates &amp;amp; Horsch = WMD (In case you have been secluded in a tunnel that means weapon of mass destruction OR genocide!&amp;nbsp; There is no hope for Africa because this powerful team with endless monetary resources will destroy the land&amp;nbsp;and the people of&amp;nbsp;Africa.&amp;nbsp; This is truly a sad day for Africa, the guinea pigs&amp;nbsp;of the world.&amp;nbsp; Someone needs to&amp;nbsp;send Bill Gates a copy of&amp;nbsp;"The Future of Food" along&amp;nbsp;with the documentary "The Origin of AIDS"!&amp;nbsp; I highly recommend that all Mercolans watch both of these documentaries.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102826" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: BioTech Setting Their Sights on Africa.
