Another GMO related consequence – Monarch butterfly migration

Are we seeing the end of the monarch butterfly migration?  Huge declines in their natural food due to heavy GM cotton and GM soybean planting in the USA is leading to a precipitous decline in the monarch population and their annual migration.  One of those migration routes is right here in Santa Cruz County at Natural Bridges State Park.  This is but another reason for us to reconsider GM crops and their purported ‘value’.  From the Christian Science Monitor comes this story – http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2014/0129/Is-the-annual-Monarch-butterfly-migration-coming-to-an-end
