Gee, what a list of hooey and fear-mongering. Is there anything (I ask rhetorically) in that list about Monsanto that is actually fact-based and referenced?

“Greenpeace alleges...” Since when is a politically motivated allegation promulgated by a politically activist radical leftist organization credible?

Also, every food produced by agriculture is GMO. No exceptions. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors invented the practice of modifying plants and animals to make them better food sources. Ever since, we’ve been refining the techniques. Anyone who wants non-GMO food is going to have to take up hunting and foraging, because out in the wild is where that kind of food exists.

Hooey just be in the eye of the beholder.

Seems our ancestors modified plants by grafting, by cross pollination, by selection of desired traits/characteristics, by importing stronger plants (weather tolerant, moisture/fertilizer requirements). Surely you're not suggesting our ancestors delved in molecular mutation by gene splicing fish scales unto tomato genes to enable fruit to be more resistant to bruising.

Other nations need our food products...yet the European Union, various Asian countries refuse GMO products. I may be mistaken, but some African nations also.

There is “GE” and there is “GMO”...I wish more was written about THOSE differences
