briansmama Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 "In the early 1990s, Monsanto began gene-splicing corn, cotton, soy, and canola with DNA from a foreign source to achieve one of two traits: an internally-generated pesticide, or an internal resistance to Monsanto’s weedkiller RoundUp." Because others here have expressed interest in learning more about GMOs, I think this is an important link to share: http://gmo-awareness.com/2011/05/12/monsanto-dirty-dozen/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupOCoffee Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks for sharing; that was very informative for me. It's also very scary to me that *this* is the company that is so highly protected by the current administration. Mr. Obama, why? ~coffee~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbeym Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Good article; thanks for sharing. DDT, Agent Orange, and rBGH were all created by Monsanto. So why in the world does more than half this country think ANY FOOD they create is SAFE TO EAT?? It took decades to ban that stuff and even now birth defects and health problems are still occurring in subsequent generations. Yet those people that believe what Monsanto says must be true always leave me feeling like I'm the crazy, paranoid person whenever I speak out against genetically modified food. And now, since company execs and lawyers have slowly been infiltrating government positions since the '70s, it's only going to get worse.
