Seeds Of doubt
Vandana Shiva is one of the most respected and acknowledged environmentalist. She is a strong supporter of a lifestyle without biochemical food which is a problem for the rest of the world. In her point of view biochemical agriculture is very unhealthy and it could kill a lot of people over time. She is a person that strongly believes that organic food should be the main way of producing food. The reason she is weary is because the herbicides used on the plants can travel through the wind and eventually affect the organic farms. In my opinion Shiva has no right to say that Biochemical production is bad and its bad for the people. People should eat what they want and if the food is not natural then they have to live with the consequences. Everyone knows that the food they eat has hormones in them but they eat it anyway.

Vandana Shiva is an environmentalist from India, who traveled Europe, South Asia, Canada, and the United States. At age 61, she has won many medals, one of her most famous one is the Right Livelihood Award, which is often called the alternative Nobel Prize. Shiva argues that the prevailing model of industrial agriculture, pesticides and fossil fuels place a burden on the Earths resources, leaving a huge amount of the population to hunger. Shiva believes products of agricultural biotechnology is destroying this beautiful world we live in. The global food supply is in danger and the world population is expanding dramatically.
