Whatever your stance is regarding GMO’s this poll makes it very clear that Americans just want their food labeled.  Simply put, Monsanto and others involved in GM products should just say OK, we support labeling since that is what people want.  They can continue to develop their products and we, as consumers, can choose to buy them or not.  What are they afraid of???   http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/28/science/strong-support-for-labeling-modified-foods.html?_r=1&

We wanted to publicize this latest bit of information on Monsanto and help people be aware of how integrated this company is with the US government and that this relationship is allowing poisons to be increased in our food supply.  Read the article here: http://rt.com/usa/monsanto-glyphosate-roundup-epa-483/

The fact that Monsanto’s illegal strain of GM Wheat was found in a field in Oregon has already impacted export markets.  In Kansas, a wheat farmer is taking the battle back to Monsanto.  Here’s a link to the story on Reuter’s – http://news.yahoo.com/kansas-wheat-farmer-sues-monsanto-over-rogue-wheat-155201442.html

Here’s the story on the EU’s decision to test all imported wheat, following Japan’s cancellation of current orders of US Wheat, http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2013/05/european_union_urges_its_membe.html

The potential economic impact of Monsanto’s illegal strain of wheat found growing in Oregon is another reason that our seed supply and crop methods should not be under the influence of just a small number of companies.  Whether or not you agree with the concerns over GMO’s, the fact that a strain of wheat that shouldn’t exist DOES in fact exist raises significant concerns over all GM crops and our ability to keep some Non-GMO seeds and crops in existence.
