Free Humanity Takes on Monsanto (Again)

"Winnie The Pooh in GMO Land"

Last week Free Humanity hit the streets of downtown Los Angeles with his latest guerrilla art piece entitled "Winnie the Pooh in GMO Land" in which the Pooh bear character with eyes as wide as saucers is clutching a honey pot as honey bees die at his feet.

You can find the piece near Indian Alley at 104 Winston Steet in DTLA.  [Map it]

It comes at the heels of a piece he did last month called "Alice in GMO Land with Monsanto Corn-Grenade and a GMO Apple-Grenade".  The works comprise a series and are a followup to a piece he did last year entitled "Snow White & the Monsanto Apple Grenade".

All of these works feature licensed Disney characters but the message is against Monsanto -- specifically it is a protest against the company's development of genetically engineered seeds and food products. It's Free Humanity's belief that "genetically modified organisms are making Bee's Extinct and Giving your cancer". [sic]

I'm a bit puzzled at Free Humanity's mashup of Disney and Monsanto. I guess I'm missing the point, but I really don't see the connection. Perhaps he's referencing Monsanto's "House of the Future" or maybe "Adventure Through Inner Space", two attractions that were once at Disneyland's Tomorrowland decades ago. I can't really be sure.
