Corn is a highly promiscuous cross-pollenator, which is why there are so many strains of corn. Long story short, the pollination effect of GMO corn has yet to be seen.
hmm, not one scintilla of evidence there for 'NO nutritional value' in genetically modified corn.
think about it: do you really think people raising cattle are morons, and haven't studied this themselves?
try an actual scientific study.

In this paper, we consider the value of such studies for establishing the safety of GM feedstuffs for the target animals and whether animal feeding studies are always necessary to establish the safety for the consumer of products of animals fed GM material. Compositional analysis has always shown the genetically modified plants to fall within the range of established values. The equivalence in digestible energy and crude protein between isogenic and transformed plants expressing a wide range of modifications (insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, or the barnase/barstar system of sterility/fertility restoration genes) also has been clearly demonstrated in different species.
Monsanto said they cannot and are taking farmers to court and winning.
This is seed purchased from Monsanto originally.
Or even if a field of Monsanto seed cross pollinates with a field of non-Monsanto seed, Monsanto can demand payment from that farmer.
Monsanto has patents and deep pockets.
They are now experimenting with livestock genes.
It appears that corporations like Monsanto want patents on the entire world's food supply. They have won a number of court decisions against farmers in the Midwest and Plains states. Monsanto's goals are far more sinister than they appear to be. No corporation should be able to control the world's food supply and make hundreds of billions of dollars doing so.

Buy organic, and make sure that they are free of some other influence to insure they are organic. Much of the organic industry is being overtaken and acquired by multi nationals.

Currently, up to 45 percent of U.S. corn is genetically engineered as is 85 percent of soybeans. It has been estimated that 70-75 percent of processed foods on supermarket shelves--from soda to soup, crackers to condiments--contain genetically engineered ingredients.
You're right, I shouldn't have posted they're a corp. Nonetheless, their motives are evil.
