China wants our Genetically Modified Corn Seeds from Monsanto? LOL...the wheat is not fit to eat, so I say let them have the GM corn seeds, they will all be as fat as Americans with the same diseases.

Now, if it were heirloom seeds that are pure and safe, it would be a tragedy, and we should put them in prison.

The Chinese do not eat much corn. This is for animal feed type corn

Before you concern yourself with all of the ills of GMOs, you might first consider that their primary concern is yield per acre and number of people fed.

The anti-GMO crowd are wittingly or not, playing into the population control crowd’s game of suppressing global food supply.

Commercially grown wheat is not GMO, so your statement lacks logic. Using lab techniques to identify useful or harmful heritable traits and then incorporate or delete them is an excellent use of science in agriculture and hardly the doomsday herald the interwebs claim it to be.

I predict the first commercially successful GMO wheat will be a variety that lacks the specific proteins involved in celiac disease and gluten intolerance.

Monsanto will also patent a pesticide resistant GMO honeybee.

I further predict that the “epidemic” of wheat allergy/gluten intolerance may eventually be recognized as an autoimmune reaction to similar proteins caused by Lymes infection.

I don't eat corn or soy anymore. Tyring to eliminate grains altogether.
