These chemical companies make some nasty stuff. DDT was "to die for" also.

Clearly you didn't bother reading the thread you just gave thanks for.

How are you being killed or deformed?
Clearly I read more than just that one link. And clearly it's more than just corn.

The corn is just the first of a new wave of herbicide-tolerant crops. Dow is also developing soybeans and cotton immune to 2,4-D. Close behind, Monsanto is developing soybeans, cotton and corn that can tolerate dicamba, another old herbicide in the same family as 2,4-D. Bayer, Syngenta and DuPont are developing crops resistant to other herbicides. too.

Dioxin is super nasty. The USDA just like EPA seem to be in bed together and filled with psycopaths. At least the decision makers. They are knowingly allowing murder of bees and long-term soil contamination. They have a legal petition for this, but apparently it is unimportant to them.
