Well as many opponants of GM food have said would happen and what those who profit from GMOs have said would never...We now have a GM superweed.


GM crops created superweed, say scientists

Modified rape crosses with wild plant to create tough pesticide-resistant strain

Good news for the companies pushing this death. If herbicide resistant genes continue to migrate (which they will) the only food affordable to most people will be genetically modified. After there is more research done showing how harmful it is to eat GMO's it will be too late.

Oh well, Can't say people didn't try to stop this thing. Too bad they didn't own huge multinational corporations that stood to gain huge profits from stopping GMOs...then maybe people would have listened to them....sigh

This is something I agree with you on (unusual I know)

Monsanto has profited greatly off GM foods. The claim by Monsanto is there is no danger, they have studied it.

You couldn't do enough study in a million years to know all the ultimate consequences of genetic tweaking.

If Monsanto labs are that clever they should start predicting the weather. Current models of that chaos system have a hard job of predicting 4 days out, yet Monsanto apparently has the ability to predict out until the end of time itself.
