Genetically Modfied Seeds: Monsanto is Putting Normal Seeds Out of Reach by Linn<<<

First thank you for sharing what you know about the site, I did not know it and did know that there is a lot there that I do not read.

But the truth is Monsanto has messed with our seeds and loves to sue a farmer, even for their plants that are not in areas planted by the farmer, but may be bird droppings.

I was following several cases a few years ago, and do not use or eat their genetic engineered inventions.

Not only is Monsanto involved in genetically modified seeds, but for years, they have been VERY involved in getting their genetically engineered products not only approved, but they do NOT want labeling to reveal the presence of their product.

Check your milk carton - does it say - “ Does Not Contain rBGH” ?

It probably doesn’t - You see, Monsanto pushed (bought) legislation not to have to show it’s presence, as if having rBGH was normal - IT IS NOT! If you want to avoid it, milk has to be labeled that it does not contain it.

OK, what is rBGH? recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone. Also known as (recombinant bovine somatotropin) rBST.

Who makes it? MONSANTO!

What does it do? In short, it increases the amount of milk a cow produces (without going into the gory details)

Effect on humans? UNKNOWN - but - there is significant evidence that it unbalances hormone levels in humans. Has been somewhat linked to increases of breast and other cancers.

It is banned throughout Europe, Canada and Japan.

Gee, DelaWhere must be some kind of conspiracy kook, why should I believe him that rBGH is widely used in dairy cows?

Among the many jobs I have had in my lifetime, One of them was as General Manager of a regional milk testing organization with milk testers in 4 states. I have been on about 80% of the dairy farms in those states during their milking. (Supervising and evaluating my milk testers)

Believe me - rBGH IS HEAVILY USED!!!

Thanks Monsanto! (NOT)
