Genetic engineering in agriculture has disappointed many people who once had hopes for it. Excluding, of course, those who’ve made money from it, appropriately represented in the public’s mind by Monsanto.

That corporation, or at least its friends, recently managed to have an outrageous rider slipped into the 587-page funding bill Congress sent to President Obama.[1]

The rider essentially prohibits the Department of Agriculture from stopping production of any genetically engineered crop once it’s in the ground, even if there is evidence that it is harmful.

As I said, hybridization is one thing, bastardization is another.
Let’s just agree that we will never agree.
I will never eat, grow or feed my family any of that sh*t.
Feel free, it’s still America..the land of.
