USA - Nature Strikes Back: Amaranth Inca devours Monsanto's GM

plants invade the Incas Amaranth kiwicha Monsanto's transgenic soya plantations in the U.S. as in a crusade to stop these harmful agricultural enterprises and to pass a message to the world.

In what appears to be another example of the wisdom of nature, paving the way, the species known as amaranth Inca "kiwicha" has become a nightmare for Monsanto. Curiously, this company known for its evil ("Mondiablo") refers to this herb sacred to the Incas and Aztecs, as a weed or grass cursed. The phenomenon of expanding amaranth crops in over twenty U.S. states is not new, but deserves to be saved, perhaps even to celebrate the abilities and intelligence of this plant warrior who opposed the giant transgenic seeds. Since 2004, a farmer in Atlanta noted that the outbreaks of amaranth resist the powerful herbicide 'Roundup' glyphosate-based and ate GM soy fields, on its website, Monsanto recommends the farmers to mix with glyphosate herbicides such as 2,4-D, banned in Scandinavia because it related to cancer. It 'strange that the New York Times that more than 20 years ago wrote that Amaranth could be the future of food in the world now calls this plant a "superweed" or "pigweed", derogatory terms that reflect an understanding of amaranth as a plague. A group of British scientists of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, has produced a gene transfer of genetically modified plants and some "undesirable" herbs like amaranth. This fact contradicts the statements of representatives of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which state that the hybridization between a genetically modified plant and an unmodified system is simply "impossible." Amaranth has no less than soy protein and also contains vitamins A and C. Meanwhile in the United States are concerned about how to remove this plant hardy in excess of Monsanto Technology: When playing in almost all weather conditions, it is not infected by diseases or insects that do not need chemicals. Would not it be better to listen to the message of nature and try the food processing amaranth?
Cases such as the demonization of amaranth make us think that the food industry simply trying to keep the population in the worst possible form for devoured by dark corporations and political interests.
