Who Dat Gonna Take My Food

Continued from last blog:
It's interesting that agricultural crop patents are being bought up by chemical companies rather than agricultural companies. That would be like me setting up a law practice.

I know of two genes that have been spliced into these corn patents. The first is a gene that allows the farmer to spray Roundup "Monsanto's favorite chemical" directly on young corn to kill grass and weeds. The corn should die but doesn't. The other is a protein that insects can't digest but isn't supposed to harm humans. The problem is, few if any tests were done before the cornflakes hit you breakfast table.
GMO is what you Google - - genetically modified organisms
Doctors are seeing a new ailment. It exhibits lesions with organic hairs growing from them. It has a name, but hasn't been linked directly to the GMO's. There is high suspicion.
Forget the under ware frequent flyer for a moment and consider what would happen if large corporations controlled the food supply. Keep an eye on Mr. Taylor.
Yeah, Yeah, I know, the sky is falling.
