Genetically Modified Crop on the Loose and Evolving in U.S. Midwest

Well isn't that just dandy....

This hits just a bit harder, when it is scientifically modified...

They are changing reality, to recreate reality in their own image. I don't think the Creator will like this one bit.

There has been no evidence to show that the herbicide resistance genes will either increase or decrease fitness to date. The finding provides, however, a warning for future genetic modifications that might increase fitness in all kinds of plants; it will be difficult to keep those traits on the farm and out of the wild. "The big concern is traits that would increase invasiveness or weediness, traits such as drought tolerance, salt tolerance, heat or cold tolerance" says weed scientist Carol Mallory-Smith of Oregon State University—all the traits that Monsanto and others are currently developing to help crops adapt to climate change. "These traits would have the possibility of expanding a species' range." In the case of canola, consider it done—at least in North Dakota.

Wonderful .. too bad we couldn't genetically modify the hearts of these sick hope-to-be gods.

Can we sue Monsanto?

Monsanto is targeting your home garden too

Thanks Tali...

From what I understand this is a lost battle. They have the corn, soy, wheat and now even sugar cane market cornered. There is no way most of our foods aren't affected. And it can not be contained. Where the wind blows...

hey Op how did a pregnancy test determine this??
ive wondered before if there might be a cost effective, or neutral even, way of checking or testing certain plants. nice thread.

Yep...if its getting out, and the wind blows, and the birds like the seeds, etc...hmmmm

You would think so but...


...these sick ass bastards will sue a small farmer and put them out of business for cross pollination with their crops...because of WIND....

BUT...

..."Nor does Monsanto claim ownership of the escaped plants, even those with multiple transgenes, according to company spokesman John Combest. "It has never been, nor will it be, Monsanto policy to exercise its patent rights where trace amounts of our patented traits are present in fields as a result of inadvertent means," although researchers would have to obtain a license from the company to work with the GM plant."

Double fucking standards when it costs them.

They said that it is the same 'science' that determines it...not that they actually made the corn stalk pee on a stick. LMAO..not at you, just funny

It's only a matter of time before natural farms will be seized by "eminent domain" after being contaminated by GM crops.

"inadvertant means"

Ah yes, the legal loophole of their stated position. Its sickening it holds up in court. Maybe the states or counties need to sue them? And I am only half joking.

haha i got ya op, but i still dont understand how a human pregnancy test can detect GM Genes. ya know what im saying?

Damian Thorns company was the worlds biggest soy bean producer

Here is an interesting read.
The newly passed HR 875 Food Safety Modernization Act
has a lot of suff in it thats beneficial to Monsanto.

Also the sponsor of the bill, Rep (D-Ct) Rosa Delauro's husband is a VP for ... you guessed it - MONSANTO !

How does this shit get passed when so many people oppose it?

This where I normally do my rant about FUCK Monsanto and their evil empire.

Can't wait for the shooting to start. I know which group is near the top of the list...

You have a list of monsanto board members, or share holders, whom ever it is we want to take down from their trash heaps???

Sickscent,

Pigweed stops the GM seeds.

Google Pigweed, Georgia and Monsanto

Monsanto is p.o. the lawsuits are FLYING.

One weed stops their evil designs- hahaha.

God is in control not Monsanto.

check the comments too

Its just stuffed inside other bills...

This is great news, unless they come out with some super duper toxic killer that not only wipes out the pigweed but leaves total destruction in its path.

Like codex alimentarius?

PS: This thread deserves a




imho

It sure does!

Thanks for that link.

Three cheers for pigweed!

Just came up to the US for a bit of a vacation. Spent 3 hours in Whole Foods today, got a whole load of goodies to take home. Had a fit when I found out kombucha tea really got pulled. I read that on a thread awhile back but forgot all about it. I love that stuff, tastes like champagne. Seems like they are going to attack the healthy food slowly but surely and we'll be left with frankenfoods.

Monsanto has had my panties in a wad for years. They obviously have a legal department that surpasses all others. Clarence Thomas used to be part of it.

I can't believe any sane person with any kind of morals or decency would work for that company, or own their stock. They are altering the global food supply. And when I say that to most people, they are like "duh, what? so?" I tell them, they aren't making strawberries more juicy or anything, they are implanting frog and other animal genes in with the plant's genes and making the plants do things like manufacture their own pesticides internally. And I just get blank stares! OMG, is head up the ass an epidemic or what?
