We hear Pro-GMO pundits speaking about how these crops reduce the need for pesticides all of the time.  Well what happens when the crop with it’s own built-in pesticides no longer work?  That’s what is happening now with Monsanto corn.  Resistance has built up in the rootworm population and the trait engineered into the corn is no longer working!  Even the crop rotation suggested by Monsanto is failing.  This is fact, not hyperbole, so one wonders what sort of spin the GMO industry will try to create.  Anyway, for more on the story in the St. Louis Business Journal click here, http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/morning_call/2013/08/pests-plague-gmo-corn—and-monsanto.html

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/
