53. What's the matter? Your Monsanto Stock Pices faltering?
That's the only message your are broadcasting loud and clear by your insistence that we all put on a pair of Monsanto collered GM is Groovy glasses and ignore the facts.

It's simple minded people that you that ignore the fact that these organisms can escape into other fields and contaminate organic crops, with no chance of cleaning up the mess that you conveniently omit from your childish arguments.

I choose to be organic because I know that the food is healthy and not loaded with mostly bulk producing fertilizers, while lacking taste and nutrition. Add BT toxins, plus the ability for bacteria in the human gut to acquire the BT trait through horizontal gene transfer, and creating a recipie for lifelong chronic poisoning, and it's just not worth it.

Would you be willing to pay for anyone to test for GMO foods on demand? Are you happy that the USDA subsidizes big ag with lower crop insurance for GMO crops, resulting in a lopsided and indirect handout to promote GM versus natural foods?

I farm organically, and I have no need for this GMO stuff. It's hype and marketing, and belongs in a reactor vessel and not in the environment where it is free to escape.

Until the GMO corporations have balls enough to actually label the GMO food products, I will boycott it all. That alone is the key fact that removes all accountability from these idiots tinkering with the genetic makeup of our food supply.

Are you so in love with uncontrolled and untested technology that you will bet your life and health on it, perhaps seeing the results in your 50's or later in life?

Thank god I'm not a mainstream farmer.. No debt, No bank Loans, Few Machines and more food than I know what to do with year round.. The mainstream farmers you know are stuck in the rat race as laborers being told what to plant and spray.
