If you are not familiar with GE (genetically engineed)/GM (genetically modified) food here's a brief explanation. Genetically Modified foods (GM foods) were first put on the market in 1996. Typically, genetically modified foods are transgenic plant products: soybean, corn, canola, rice, and cotton seed oil. In other words, a plant (or animal) can have strands of it's DNA cut and spliced with another kind of DNA...Typically to change the way the plant behaves or grows. There is an on growing controversy about the safety of these foods and impact on the environment. Most importantly, why aren't these foods labeled? Huge corporations like Monsanto (the makers of Round Up) and Dow have genetically Modified the seeds of the plants mentioned. Monsanto calls their "new" seeds Round Up Ready. A farmer can plant this seed and spray the hell out of it with Round Up...and I DOESN'T DIE!!  Monsanto (like so many other large corporations, OWN the politicians they support. (After all, if you're a politician it's all about the money and getting re elected.) It doesn't matter what your party affiliation....One side is often times no better than the other. We vote them in and we can voter them out. So should we blame Monsanto for doing what big corps do? Let's start blaming the men and women who take their money.
