...let me tell ya what I know about these genetically engineered crops. The companies that make em engineer em so they are good to eat and cheap to grow. Thing is, if they get em to reproduce like regular plants do, they can't sell em after the first year because everybody has their own seeds by then. So what they do is engineer em so that they will not reproduce. That way ya have to buy their seeds every year. Problem with that is that there is some concern that these plants that won't breed could cross with the current plants that do breed and leave the earth without anything to grow that doesn't come from a "big food co". If ya think big oil and big banks are horses asses, wait til you see these guys. The only other folks I know who are sorries are the big water folks who have already declared that the rainwater that falls on your land does not belong to you.

If you thought Monsanto’s lack of testing on their current GMO crops was bad before, prepare to now be blown away by the latest statement by the USDA. Despite links to organ damage and mutated insects, the USDA says that it is changing the rules so that genetically modified seed companies like Monsanto will get ‘speedier regulatory reviews’. With the faster reviews, there will be even less time spent on evaluating the potential dangers. Why? Because Monsanto is losing sales with longer approval terms.
