Part of the reason we have GM foods in this country is not because its superior to other foods but because of the incestuous relationship between Monsanto and the USDA. It is illegal to save GM corn seed unless you pay Monsanto royalties for their ‘intellectual property’ since our supreme court says its ok to patent certain life forms. Not only that, if some farmers Monsanto corn pollinates your heritage corn crop, the courts say you still owe Monsanto royalties. That's like your neighbors mongrel digging into your backyard, impregnating your golden retriever, and then the sheriff showing up saying you owe your neighbor stud fees.

Exactly, Monsanto should be sued for genetic contamination.
