DNGC Chap 20

We see how much of a mess GMO's can make when protestors take to the streets. The incident in Seattle was very much a mess and jumble of things.
I also found some symbolism and irony when the global organization presented it's "Earth Wrecker" award to Monsanto. I'm not sure if that was a joke award or a real one but the irony and symbolism with the awards name was very interesting to me. The definition of a wrecker is essentially to demolish or destroy something so an award with the name 'Earth Wrecker' just dosnt seem appealing to me and when given to a large company like monsanto you would think that that would send some sort of message to them.
Also I just wanted to say that the last sentence in Chapter 20 is very true, food does bring people together and unifys them. Just think of Christmas or Thanksgiving or any of the holidays for that matter which are one of the few times that families will join together and share a meal and converse during the year.
