Movie Sign! - Patent for a Pig

If you haven't noticed it already, the website where i found The World According to Monsanto also has another documentary entitled Patent for a Pig. In Monsanto's latest effort to control the world's food, they've filed for a patent on a specific gene found in pigs. They claim that through their special breeding techniques, you'll get this gene that improves meat production. Thing is, most of the pigs that are alive today already have this gene. So, if the patent goes through, thousands upon thousands of already living pigs in thousands of farms around the world will fall under Monsanto control. No doubt their "gene police" will be deployed in full force.

Is this not absolutely absurd?

Watch the 40 minute documentary here.
