This is a fake ad against Monsanto, makers of genetically modified seeds, genetically modified bovine growth hormone (rBGH), highly toxic chemicals and now leader in agricultural biotechnology.
The text sounds a bit immature but I wanted to represent this company's true voice. The scientists experimenting with the genetic make up of rats and potatoes, or fish and tomatoes are completely irresponsible. I would go as far as saying that they are psychopaths.
Yes there is an issue of large population in the world and the question: "Can there be enough food on earth for an estimated nine billion people?" is definitely important. However the question "Is there a future for our planet if we keep tweaking its natural state?" is primordial! In the ad I write "We have been afraid of Her for more than 5000 years. She provides for us but we are just not sure for how long." I truly believe that our global human consciousness has been separated from nature from the over-development of our Neocortex, the "organ" that allowed for self-consciousness and language ( read Roberto Villoldo's The Four Winds ). We gained foresight and the ability to fear the future and we lost the ability to trust the fact that nature provides. I think our fear of the future comes from the accumulated memory of pain stored in our global consciousness.
But now we can evolve again!
We made amazing advances in term of comfort, hygiene and life expectency but we have greatly regressed when it comes to listen to the intuitive self and other living beings. We need to re-balance the feminine and the masculine, trust ourselves and transcend the pain and the fear of death.
We tried to be masters of the earth but it is obviously not working, we should get back to being Her stewards (here I think of indigenous cultures).

There’s a film called Radical Jesters that is a really good example of a range of “culture jamming” activities that have happened over the last few years. You can see a trailer at
