Watch Dr Lustig thrash the age old accepted view: "Eat less, Exercise More" as Garbage! With increasingly obese kids and adults on the rise, even in developing countries such as India, it has become all the more necessary to understand the root cause of the problem and Dr. Lustig's presentation below points it out succinctly.

India is suing Monsanto for Bio-Piracy of Brinjal !
Bio-Piracy means stealing indigenous plants, and then trying to develop genetically modified versions of them, without giving any compensation back to the local people or nation where the plant originally came from.
Brinjal, also known in Western nations as eggplant, is a native Indian crop for which there are roughly 2,500 different unique varieties. Millions of Indian farmers grow brinjal, which is used in a variety of Indian food dishes, and the country grows more than a quarter of the world's overall supply of the vegetable.
Let's examine the Players involved...
Mahyco, an Indian Seed Company set up by Dr. B. R. Barwale, catapulted into the big league due to his association with the Rockefeller Foundation who supplied the seed for the first hybrid corn, and with influence of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) an autonomous organization under the Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India. Sharad Pawar currently serves as Minister of Agriculture.
Dr Rath site has an interesting history about Rockefeller Foundation. Mahyco developed the Bt brinjal through its licensing partner Monsanto. BestMeal.info has a detailed article on Monsanto's dark history: 1901-2011. Jeffrey Smith defines Monsanto as the world's poster child for corporate manipulation and deceit.Bt Brinjal was approved for commercialization in India in 2009, but after a public outcry the Indian government, under Jairam Ramesh, the then Environmental Minister applied a 2-year moratorium on its release, reiterating on 17 February 2010 that the Centre had only imposed a moratorium on the release of transgenic brinjal hybrid, and not a permanent ban. Read The Gene Gun At Your Head. The Daily Star headlined Reason triumphs over Bt brinjal.
Therefore, just prior to the lapse of the moratorium, it was indeed Breaking News to hear that Mahyco/Monsanto will face bio-piracy charges in India from National Biodiversity Authority (NBA), an Indian government agency.
The genetically modified vegetable Bt Brinjal may be still mired in
controversy but that has not deterred Mahyco betting on genetically modified Bt Okra (ladies finger) and Rice. Among their HYBRID Vegetable crops include hybrid bhindi (okra), hybrid Tomato, hybrid Ashgourd, hybrid Cabbage, hybrid Watermelon, hybrid Bottlegourd and even hybrid Chili...Mahyco's HYBRID Field Crops include hybrid paddy (Rice), hybrid Wheat, hybrid maize (Corn), hybrid Jowar, hybrid Bajra and even hybrid Mustard, hybrid Castor and hybrid Sunflower.Today, more than 1,000,000 cultivators are under contract to grow seeds for Mahyco. The company has 15 production centres located in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, 23 sales offices and about 2,500 dealers. Mahyco proudly states in their website, 'we baptize our crops with scientific names' and one of their slogan is 'Changing the Face of Agricultural India'. |
The stakes are high for the Players, the consequences dire for the farmers and the People! Will the People triumph over the Players? - A fundamental question that will decide what is on our dinner plates! |

Inalienable Rights!
When darkness falls, its often the humble candles, that become the mighty beacons! Here is a video that I chanced upon, that shows how all humble human beings can empower themselves to become mighty beacons. This one hour investment of your time to educate yourself may lead to years of real love, freedom and liberty further leading to your perpetual enlightenment.
Interesting note on “unalienable” and “inalienable” in Spiritual Economics Now blog: 'Both are pronounced with the word “alien” pronounced the same way as we think of off-planet entities––ETs. The reason ETs are called aliens is because they are considered alien to or separate from our planet (even though we all know they are not because they have always been here, but, the programming is that they are separate from us). So, ‘unalienable’ means ‘inseparable’ and ‘not to be taken away’. A similar word, ‘inalienable’ means ‘non-transferable’. So, when the founding fathers used the term, “unalienable rights”, they meant that we had God-given rights which could not be taken away from us. Neither word has anything to do with commercial liens; so, neither word is pronounced with ‘lien’ accented. There is no word with that pronunciation. Even if there were a word which meant that something cannot be ‘liened’, then the word would be ‘un-lienable’, not ‘un-a-lienable’. The ‘a’ in that word makes it meaningless. In order for people to believe that you know what you are talking about, I suggest that you never say, “un-a-lien´-able”. That word is fiction.'

Stranger than Fiction? Or True to the last word? Decide for yourself! Who is SONIA GANDHI?
LINK below reproduced after spell-check & grammar.
Who is SONIA GANDHI? (Every Indian Should Know This)
Who is Sonia Gandhi:
There is officially no Sonia Gandhi. Her real name in passport is neither Gandhi nor Sonia. Its Edvige Antonia Albina Maino. Sonia is a Russian name and not Italian. However, Antonia is an Italian name and her passport is Italian. Though she has married Rajiv Gandhi* she never accepted change of title officially. (recall the time of turmoil in Indian politics when Sonia Gandhi was trying to be the prime minister, but ultimately Man Mohan Singh became her toy)
*Rajiv Gandhi: Actually Rajiv Khan being the son of Firoz Khan and Indira Priyadarshani. Gandhi is an assumed title to sentimentally lure Indians for their political benefit. They are Muslims by religion.
Father:
Stefano Eugene Maino is socially the father of Sonia. Her father was a German (Hitlers army). When Hitlers army went to Russia they were captured and imprisoned. He was captured near St. Peters burgh and was imprisoned for 20 years. But he became a member of KGB and his imprisonment was limited to 4 years. When he came back from prison he gave Russian name to his daughters. Social father because when she was born her father was in jail for 4 years. Biological father is unconfirmed.
Mother:
Paula Maino.
Family:
She has 2 sisters in Orbassano, Italy
Birthplace:
Sonia claims she was born in Besano, near Turin in Italy. However, as per her birth certificate, She is actually born in Luciana, in the borders of Switzerland. A resort town for German soldiers during war.
Education:
She initially put forward to Indian Govt. that she studied in Cambridge University which proved to be fake. She submitted an affidavit that she studied English in Bell Education trust at Cambridge. Even this was proven to be fake and was found she never got any education after class five. She was a young girl with no formal education living five years in England. How did she support her livelihood for 5 years? Any wild guesses?
Citizenship:
She has not given off her Italian citizenship. Indira Gandhi used her power to issue her an Indian Citizenship so that she can join Indian politics. She is holding an illegal citizenship in India. No action is being taken by Home Minister. Update: In January 1980, Indira Gandhi returned as Prime Minister. The first thing Sonia did was to enroll herself as a voter. This was a gross violation of the law, enough to cause cancellation of her visa [since she was admittedly an Italian citizen then]. There was some hullabaloo in the press about it, so the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer got her name deleted in 1982. But in January 1983, she again enrolled herself as a voter even while as a foreigner [she first applied for citizenship in April 1983]Link
Religion:
Christianity.
Bank Balance:
Rajiv Gandhi and his family owned 2 billion USD in Swiss Bank as of November,1991. Beneficiary of death of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi was Sonia Gandhi.
Family:
Sonia's sister Alexandria(or Anuska) has 2 shops in Italy selling antiques stolen from India. Sonia used her power to smuggle Indian artifacts through Air India flights uninspected.
Sonia's son Rahul Gandhi, whose real name is Raul Vinci. He got admitted to Harvard in quota but was thrown off soon because he was incompetent. He has Italian citizenship since his mother never gave up her citizenship. He cannot officially become the citizen of India or any politician in India as long as he doesn't give up his Italian citizenship. Arrested in Boston airport for carrying 160,000 dollars cash, accompanied by Veronique (Spanish). Veronique is the daughter of Drug mafia leader. Rahul has also been accused for gang raping Sukanya Devi, whose petition to all courts in India have been rejected due to their political hold and the whereabouts of the family is unknown. However, the information is widely available online.
