No fan of Monsanto, but the far left wackos are over the top as usual. Monsanto and giant agri-businesses are too powerful, influence our government in negative ways and produce inferior products. As usual, it is DC beltway lifers that enable their growth and advancement. The wackos are still still wackos, regardless.

Sorry, this is one so called “leftist” cause that I am 100 percent behind.

This is a human problem not a leftist one.

Monsanto must be held responsible.

NO GMO’s!

GMO’s are like antibiotics— the pests they are engineered to resist will, in turn, build their own resistance to the genetic modification. Eventually, we will build superpests for tomatoes, corn, soy, wheat, just as we’ve built superbugs with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics.

I’m with the left on this one. I’ve done enough farming to know that insects will, over time, develop resistance to pesticides. It’s just a matter of time before they develop a resistance to GMO’s....

My greatest concern about GMO’s is the patenting of food.

Most big farm operations are now forced to buy patented GMO seed from a handfull of providers.

Farmers can loger save their own seed from one year to the next; But are forced to buy new seed each year.

They are also forced into agreements concerning use of pesticides which are becoming less and less effective.

This issue is not about GMO’s per se. It’s about CONTROL !

“Control the oil, you control the country. Control the food, you control the people.” - Henry Kissenger

It is not a left wing idea to want teal food that does not have fake DNA to replicate it with less nutrients in the offspring and a patent on seeds that blow on your land!

Obesity is due to cable and video games. Turn those off and go do something else.

Create your own adventure rather watching someone else have fun.

"The honeybees are dying — and we don’t really know why. That’s the conclusion of a massive Department of Agriculture (USDA) report that came out late last week on colony-collapse disorder (CCD), the catchall term for the large-scale deaths of honeybee groups throughout the U.S."

One of my tasks today is getting my heirloom seeds harvested. I want to be able to feed my family year after year.

Just because this issue is important to the Left doesn't mean that Conservatives should be baited into automatically taking the other side.

Monsanto is a corrupt, bullying firm that has bought off dozens of elected representatives in order to help force small family farms out of business. They want the land and don't want the competition. They regularly sue these farms for "illegally using Monsanto crops".

GMO pollen blows from Monsanto crops and pollinates the family farm's crops. Monsanto does genetic testing to prove that their product has been incorporated into the family farm's crops and wins, driving many farms into bankruptcy. Their ability to do is supported by laws passed by corrupt officials.

It is becoming very difficult to avoid their GMO food as labels do not required GMO information. I prefers God's genetic structure in my food and should have the choice regarding what I eat.

Conservatives support people who want to grow their own food and drink raw milk. We have all read about the FDA SWAT attacks on these people and their families. The FedGov is in bed with Monsanto big time. It's time to knock down their house of cards.

It’s not just leftists who hate Monsanto. Monsanto is deep in government pockets and is on its way to controlling food sources. Control the means of food production and you control the people. Get your heirloom seeds while you still can.
