Re: Fwd: << A-M-F >> Urgent Consumer Advisory: Genetically Modified Sweet Corn in Canada

[Guest guest]

Even if the farmer plants non-gmo corn, the spores of the gmo corn planted

elsewhere could fly into the non-gmo corn farm and contaminate it. This is shows

the dangers of those gmo technologies. I stay away from corn which i truly

love. A supermarket employee said, we don't knowingly sell gmo products but due

to spore contamination, we can't tell anymore.

They are now turning many healthful plants into gmo including coconut, etc.

Those seeds taken to Norway(?) are said to being gmo-ed.
