Thank you for sharing this. I was not aware of this, and have forwarded

it to my friends and family.

If any of you on this list are Ayatollahs perhaps you would consider

issuing a fatwa against Monsanto.

I honestly believe that Monsanto is the Anti-Christ.

I happen to live in St. Louis-where they can do no wrong according to media

outlets.

GMO foods are scary!!!

I am strongly considering a raw, mostly home grown, all organic diet-and yet I

cannot be 100 percent positive that it will be non-GMO because of the invavise

techniques, etc....but the odds sure beat dining on any corn products, fast

food, etc.

Wish the USA powers that be would wake up-but there are too many $ involved.

Sorry, but Monsanto will have to get in line behind the other Anti-Christs.

Seriously, we get your point and it is well taken. The problem is, I wish it

were just one company but we're dealing with most of them, not just one and then

there are the 'angels' that support them........................our

legislators.....to me worse than Monsanto et al.

So, we hang on to this list.........we search, we study, and hopefully survive

in spite of them albeit not too easily.

Monsanto would go into a farmer's field and test for GMO corn. If they found

it they would sue the farmer if he hadn't bought it from them. Where the

real suit belongs is when the farmer goes into his field and finds GMO

tainted corn when he thought didn't plant any. You can hardly find any corn

these days that hasn't been cross pollinated.
