This video uncovers the shocking truths about GMOs and why your right to know what's in your food is under attack. Join Dr. Pedram Shojai as he exposes the powerful forces working to keep you in the dark about genetically modified organisms and their impact on your health and the environment. You'll learn about the hidden dangers of GMOs and how to make informed choices for yourself and your family.

In this crucial discussion, Dr. Pedram Shojai, the Urban Monk, sits down with a spokesperson from the Oregon Right to Know campaign to shed light on the ongoing battle for GMO labeling. You'll discover how major agribusiness giants like Monsanto, Dow, and Syngenta are spending millions to prevent mandatory labeling, despite widespread consumer demand for transparency. We delve into the alarming increase in herbicide and pesticide use directly linked to genetically engineered crops, leading to "super weeds" and the introduction of even more toxic chemicals like 2,4-D (a component of Agent Orange). You'll also hear about the ethical implications of genetically engineering animals, such as salmon with eel genes, and why current labeling laws fall short. This conversation empowers you to understand the real stakes involved and how you can take action to support your right to know what you're eating.
