i raise sugar beets in the yellowstone valley of montana all everyone needs to do is keep pricken with the roundup ready sugar beets and the price of sugar will be at the point all you grenies will be happy but the normal people will priced out of consumption and then you can rely on imported sugar. because with out roundup ready beets it makes it hard to compete with imported sugar.the cost of raising conventional sugar beets is three times the cost of roundup ready beets. at this rate you can add sugar to the list with oil that we will have to rely on foreign countries for.

Jerry, how is the new admin changing this? They seem to be adding more Monsanto hacks, sadly.

Denis – I’ve wondered before if the rise of GM crops had anything to do with the rise in food allergies for that same reason. It would be awesome to read some research on that topic. I wonder if there’s any out there!

If you’re concerned about GM foods, you might try to find organic eats while you’re in the US. USDA organic produce is not allowed to be genetically modified. It’s easier to find organic at the grocery store than in restaurants, though.

GM crops contain many new proteins that may cause alergies and a number of other unpredictable effects and deseases, that Monsanto insists in making governments around the world ignore. I live in Brazil, I intend to travel to the US with my family next year. After watching a documentary and reading a few pages about Monsanto’s evildoings, I’m affraid of the food we’ll eat there.

IIRC those rotten SOB’s are also taking farmers land in Alberta Canada, same reason, the GM crops cross pollinated the Alberta farmers crop and since the Alberta farmer doesn’t have high class parasites, er lawyers, he lost, and as a result he lost his farm…

The USDA is full of Monsanto criminals. The new administration is slowly changing this. Lawsuits need to come forth, and soon. GMO foods are killing America.
