Genetically Modified Children

Can Monsanto chemicals permanently alter your child’s genes? Low-income tobacco farmers face skyrocketing cancer rates and more devastating repercussions affecting their children: severe physical deformities and mental disabilities. Choosing between poverty and poison, Latin American growers have no choice but to use harmful chemicals such as the herbicide glyphosate (aka Monsanto’s Roundup) and Bayer’s insecticide Confidor if they want to certify and sell their crops to Big Tobacco. As patent and regulatory laws continue to favor the profits of Monsanto and chemical companies, the tobacco makes its way into the hands and mouths of consumers worldwide in Philip Morris tobacco products, and the poisons used to harvest the crops contaminate the farmers’ blood and are modifying the human genome, creating genetically modified children.
