fact is even rooting and cross polinating geneteicly manipulates the originator
fact is you need a boogyman, so you go after a corporation, because they are so 'evil'
why the discriminsation against monsanto and not the other chemical companies
the chemical in roundup (Glyphosate )is the very same chemical used in the herbisides made by Baier, ortho, etc
why instead of asking the government to ban a potentially dangerous chemical (through the epa, usda, fda ..whatever) are you going after ONE companie...is this a political agenda????
again..you SEEM to be wearing blinders..
I learned about cross polination 50 years ago in school....farmers have been doinf cross polination and grafing for CENTURIES
and its baout what the PEOPLE WANT
grow a tomato plant in your yard..the product is NOT all the same size or color....but people want big round, red tomaoes that all look pristine.....you ONLY get that from manipulating the make up of the plant/fuit/vegi.....go to an old 'red delicious' apple tree and look at the fruit...they are not all the same size of color.....but what WE WANT in the store is all the same..................cant blame a specific company for what the PEOPLE WANT
yes there are 'roundup ready' seeds...meaning they(the plant) will NOT die if the herbicide gets on them...like a 'non ready' seed would.....what is the big deal....and please dont give me the 'cancer and other' line....more people died of cancer well before monsanto even was thought of
We are talking about a food monopoly by Monsanto, who does all their own testing, suppressing the evidence of longer than 6 weeks, because that's when the studies reflect results they want hidden. You cannot leave a company like this to self-report. Get it? Our gov't has provided them carte-blanche with nary a care about how this garbage effects our health or our economy. Many countries refuse to import contaminated bio-engineered food, because they care about THEIR populace.
Why are you defending this company? Do you own stock?

Since when does monopoly=conspiracy? What do chemtrails have to do with this thread? Seems she was pointing to a particular GM food monopoly not chemical pesticides, though both seem discussed here.
Watergate eventually became the story of two young rookie reporters who exposed and took down a president.
Try to think of another major story in your lifetime where the reporters themselves took center stage, and in the process nearly eclipsed their own work. Odd.
One of them, Bob Woodward, expanded his fame. The powers-that-be permitted him to go on and, with extraordinary access, write books criticizing future presidents. Woodward became the in-house attack dog. Mr. Limited Hangout.
The other reporter, Carl Bernstein, faded into relative obscurity. Well, he began connecting journalists to the CIA. That wasn’t a smart career move. That was, perhaps, a case of biting the hand that had fed him.
To learn why Richard Nixon was really blown out of the White House, you could begin with the infamous Nazi chemical/pharmaceutical cartel, IG Farben. The cartel that pushed Hitler over the top into power in Germany.
One of its lasting legacies is the multinational corporation ballooning out into titanic proportions. Farben didn’t just buy smaller companies, it forged favorable agreements with huge corporations all over the world: Standard Oil (Rockefeller); Rhone-Poulenc; Imperial Chemical Industries; Du Pont; Dow.
During World War 2, Josiah Du Bois, representing the US federal government, was sent on a fact-finding mission to Guatemala. His comment: “As far as I can tell the country is a wholly owned subsidiary of Farben.”
It is unbelievable that anyone would NOT want to know what was in the food they consume & feed to their family. And to whoever it was that said people want perfectly round, red tomatoes, NOT TRUE! Try an organically grown heirloom tomato sometime... you will NEVER want one of those pesticide-ridden tasteless blobs they have at the grocery store ever again! I'm growing some Apricot Brandywines, absolutely the BEST tomato I have ever tasted! Bright orange,like a mini-pumpkin! There are All kinds of cool colors,shapes & sizes to choose from, here is just a sample...

To be fair, while about 90% of domestic soy is GMO, only about 70% of domestic corn is.
But pretty much every Coke, every premade salad dressing, BBQ sauce, ketchup, etc. is going to have GMO in it. We've been consuming GMOs like crazy for decades now.
While I support honest labeling, as someone with a degree in Biotechnology, I hate the paranoid anti-science culture surrounding much of the debates about it.
I've read about GMO corn, and it's more like 88% from what I have seen.
Personally, I don't find the idea of eating Roundup a good idea for anyone.
And that's what you're eating if you consume GMO foods.
Roundup Ready Humans soon to be the norm!
