This carousing panel featured so many great moments- Julia sitting on my lap, Shaila bursting Julia's bubble about fact checking and "respectable" main stream media, and the genuine community response to the Mark Zuckerberg / Sarah Lacy keynote disaster….it's worth watching the video as well.

Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser stood his ground when Monsanto sued him for patent infringement almost 10 years ago. Just last week he won a landmark case in small claims court, forcing Monsanto to admit liability for the contamination of his crops. I spoke with Percy today and his story really enlightened me as to some of the risks of Genetically Modified Organisms which I'd not contemplated.

It's not the just about "frankenfood." It's about what is done in order to create and own life in the service of near-term profits. When you hear Percy's story, you'll see how it's not much different than the techniques Daniel Plainview used in There Will Be Blood. Monsanto's legal right to patent a seed also means, based on Percy's suit, that it is responsible for the consequences. Denise Caruso, started the Hybrid Vigor Institute for scientists because she found out that leading genetics researchers have no idea what the risks are based on what they're creating.

Denise asks How we can focus on Process Over Outcome? for the live May tHG show.

Join web designer Jeff Veen, Intersex activist Thea Hillman and microfinance expert April Rinne as the Heather Gold Show explores the concept of Service and balancing one's own needs with the needs of others.
