This is why we must not buy genetically engineered crops. Monsanto & the Obama Admin are up to some very evil stuff.

“This is why we must not buy genetically engineered crops. Monsanto & the Obama Admin are up to some very evil stuff.”

This conclusion has zero to do with the scientific finding of this body of work. Coating of seeds as no relationship on whether the seeds are genetically modified or not. Genetic modification is a fair subject for discussion as I am sure it has in previous FR posts but the commercial use of these seed types predates the Obama years by a decade or two. I used the word “radical” solely to distinguish it from the natural selection for desirable traits that farmers have been doing since they planted the first seeds umpteen thousands of years ago (ex. using the healthiest/best yielding plants as seed corn for the next years crop).

Monsanto: 'There is no need for, or value in testing the safety of GM foods in humans'

Monsanto, safety of GMOs have not been tested on humans

From Monsato web site

.. There is no need to test the safety of DNA introduced into GM crops. DNA (and resulting RNA) is present in almost all foods--the only exceptions being highly refined materials like oil or sugar from which all cell material has been removed. Thus, DNA is non-toxic and the presence of DNA, in and of itself, presents no hazard
