Peter Brabeck, Chief Executive Officer of the world’s largest food company, Nestle Corporation, is shown in a video explaining some topics that are not only odd but also a bit disturbing, especially coming from a business that claims to be “the world’s leading Nutrition, Health and Wellness company”.
In the video, Brabeck tells viewers that mankind’s belief that anything from nature is a good thing is a great misconception today. He detailed that in today’s day and age, we as humans are able to ‘provide a balance’ to nature. Giving an example of how modern society believes nature is good, he says, “A good example is the organic movement…organic is now best” but contends that by saying, “But organic is not best.” Interestingly he does not give any explanations to back his assertion though.



Then the CEO continues his argument by bringing the topic of genetically modified organisms into his explanation of how he believes organic is not best but again does not go in to further detail. “After 15 years of eating GM food products in the USA, not one single case of illness from eating them has occurred to date. And in spite of this we’re all so uneasy about it in Europe that something might happen to us.”

What Brabeck fails to mention though is the vast amounts of animal studies that have been performed and have proven the potential health dangers associated with a GM diet. Not to mention, a former GMO safety scientist who made a living off of convincing consumers that GMOs are safe has recently come out and spoken about the dangers of them.
