Farms: Soy: In the Name of progress (Full Version)
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
Directed by Todd Southgate A new “soy rush” has been kick- started, and large-scale farm producers from all over Brazil are flocking to the Amazon forest in hopes of striking it rich with this golden crop. Yet all this comes at a price. Communities -- most often those found in the forest -- are often violently expelled from their lands in the wake of this uncontrolled scramble to plant soy. For Brazil, it’s all in the name of progress. Still, to ask those whom have been chased from their lands and have seen first-hand the ecological wrath which has followed in the wake of soy in the region of Santarem, this new cash crop in the Amazon has brought nothing but destruction and misery.

Thank you Mr Todd! :)

There are plenty of reasons not to purchase soy products, besides the obvious environmental reasons.
Soy is an endocrine disruptor (think thyroidism). There is an epidemic of thryroidism in the US and other countries. Hypothyroidism will cause a sluggish thyroid. This will in turn cause lack of energy and weight gain.
Soy messes with both women's and men's hormones. Soy is NOT a health food! -
Jajaja

A big shit

Suck mother fucker

SOY= Roundup ready Soy = Monsanto or more correct Mon-SATAN-o..that satanic corporation is poison!!
-

-
Whole Foods and other 'better' grocery stores sell soy-fed chickens: these giant chickens have yellow meat...they are GM chickens!
-
Soy is making boy´s feminized and girls to"bloom" to fast...and also burn out as fast..We probable end up being "it" instead he or she..
-
Progress for certain group is other group death sentence...

err soy isn't just found in vegan foods
-
What a load of nonsense. The monetary system needs to go.
-
I notice a lot of Vegans overlook this, maybe to them it's an acceptable sacrifice.
-
Soy has valuable industrial purposes and can improve the soil through nitrogen fixing. But I agree with you 100%
-
Unless the soy is fermented

As a Brazilian citizen, it sickens me to death to know we virtually have no government to stop this crime altogether. And this kind of thing happens all the time and it seems our so-called "authorities" always look the other way. There is a documentary which also goes deep into the soy crop and its toll on water and all. Please, spread the word. We humans need to stop this crime.
-
Most the soybeans go to feed cattle, so going vegan and consuming almond milk instead of soy milk is the environmentally responsible thing to do.

SOY SUCKS! IT'S BAD FOR YOU!

This is a "terrorist threat" as capitalism against the earth. The solution is an Equal Money System. The value is life, time to stop what has become "god"= money, determining who lives and who dies without care and respect for life. Let's get this world cleaned up, support Equal Money until it is done.

Environmentally, this is Death to tens of millions, not to mention the Environment itself. These are GM crops polluting people and ALL usable land. Create a garden. Every thumb is green! Generate 'Sustainability' as a landscape-Blueprint for proven models of organic, higher yield, farming. Don't watch this and shake your head in disappointment at the system, YOU ARE THE 'SYSTEM'!!!~ ...........................................................................................................
