i'm fully and firmly opposed to the monsanto version of growing food. all the evidence i've seen identifies it as poison at best and that doesn't even get into the economics of it and the way monsanto prosecutes farmers who have had their corn contaminated by gmo in the wind. here you can learn something about where corn came from and how its being assaulted;


Dozens of native maize varieties are threatened with extinction in Mexico as Big Biotech moves to replace them with commercialized genetically modified (GM) corn. A coalition of Mexican farmers is fighting tooth and nail to stop this aggressive takeover, but the stakes are high to preserve the 59 indigenous corn varieties that Mexican farmers have relied upon for centuries.

On July 5, 2013, the alliance filed a class-action lawsuit to stop the Mexican government from granting permits to plant GM maize. Later that fall, a judge ruled that both experimental and commercial plantings would have to wait until a final verdict is reached, which could take many more months or even years.

The issue at hand involves test plots of GM maize that are being pushed by transnational chemical companies like Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences. Maize is a major food crop in Mexico, and these companies have been trying for years to get their foot in the door and gain market share, something they've had considerable difficulty accomplishing due to heavy resistance from native farmers........https://www.naturalnews.com/046086_GMOs_indigenous_corn_Mexican_farmers.html
