If you can grow your own, more power to you, you should do that, but that method won’t feed the world. Get back to us when you grow enough to feed another hundred or two hundred people, which is what the American farm worker does.

As far a burning the GMO villages to the ground, you’re in with a very large group. There are a lot of people who would rather have those brown skinned people starve to death than have them eat cheap GMO wheat. That’s what has happened throughout history, until Monsanto came along.

So you won’t be lonely, but I do think you’re throwing in with a very cruel and heartless group.

One of the advantages of living long is that you get to see the same stories come round and round. I remember the attempt at panic during the early 70’s over the immediate pending death of the honeybee. I was younger then, and almost believed it. The story is back again 40 years later.

I don’t believe it now either, and neither should you.

The world has yet to be saved by Monsanto. Last I checked people are still starving to death. Whatever anybody wants to eat is their business, just like eating non-gmos is my business. Giving food, gmo or otherwise, to impoverished nations is keeping them impoverished. Until we cut them off, just like we need to cut off our own welfare folks, they will never have the desire to overthrow their oppressors and become productive countries with very little starvation. And the American farmer? They are welfare queens as well. Don’t glamorize a group of people that get paid my hard-earned money to keep fallow fields and dump milk down the drain. I’m including my own relatives in this! I’m appalled at all of the tax breaks they get. Any book they get to write off on thier taxes. My aunt has shelves of expensive cross stitch, cooking, holiday entertaining, etc. books and magazines. My mom only orders a couple of these a year because they are upwards of $25 each. What counted cross stitch Christmas stocking pattern books have to do with dairy farming I’ve no idea. This is no different than welfare queens having babies and then filing taxes to claim the child credit. If farmers can be productive on thier own but need gmos to do that then there you go, but let’s get them moving at full capacity before we start talking about American farmers and Monsanto saving the world.
