Almost all of the corn and corn products are GMO - very nasty! The

only way to get pure corn is to grow it yourself from Heritage Seeds.

In Canada, Monsatan won a lawsuit against a small farmer who grew good

corn. Monsatan didn't want the real corn to get mixed in with their

crops of GMO so they took the poor guy to court. How sick is that?
