How much outrage can a single multinational corporation inspire? How much
damage can they inflict? The breathtaking new film, *The World According to
Monsanto*, featuring a company whose only rival may be BP,  screens on
Thursday, July 29 at 7:30pm in the Let's Eat: Films on Food series presented
by Slow Foods, Huntington & Cinema Arts Centre followed by  Q & A and
reception with Long Island Biodynamic Farmer Steve Storch. CAC 423 Park Ave
, Huntington



From Iowa to Paraguay , from England to India , Monsanto is uprooting our
food supply and replacing it with their patented genetically engineered
creations. And along the way, farmers, communities, and nature become
collateral damage. Monsanto?s controversial past combines some of the most
toxic products ever sold with misleading reports, pressure tactics,
collusion, and attempted corruption. With a 2006 sales figure of $7.5
billion and operations in 46 countries, Monsanto is the world leader in
genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as one of the most
controversial corporations in industrial history. Since its founding in
1901, the company has faced trial after trial due to the toxicity of its
products, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polystyrene,
devastating herbicides like Agent Orange, used during the Vietnam War.
Today, Monsanto has reinvented itself as a "life sciences" company converted
to the virtues of sustainable development. They now race to genetically
engineer (and patent) the world?s food supply, which profoundly threatens
our health, environment, and economy. Combining secret documents with
first-hand accounts by victims, scientists, and politicians, this powerful
film exposes why Monsanto has become the world?s poster child for malignant
corporate influence in government and technology. *USA, 2008, 108 min.; Dir.

*About Guest Speaker Steve Storch
*When Water Mill biodynamic agriculture expert Steve Storch was growing up
in Coney Island , the depletion of farm soils was the last thing on his
mind. But when he married into the Halsey farming clan and moved to the East
End to study marine biology 24 years ago, all that changed. Mr. Storch now
runs Natural Science Organics, which he calls ?part of the farm organism? at
Larry Halsey?s Green Thumb organic farm on Halsey Lane . He?s a relatively
strict adherent to the spiritual-based agricultural practices first proposed
by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924, in which every part of
that ?farm organism? is treated as an interconnected link to the rest of the
farm. In that world view, human health, soil health and vegetable health are
all dependent on factors that have as much to do with spirituality as
science. www.naturalscienceorganics.com <
