It doesn't make sense when you say that GM is bad because of Monsanto.
With GM, you know what has been changed. With testing, you find wether or not its dangerous.

I cut out bits - hope I haven't altered the gist of your comments.
Monsanto won't allow independent testing of their products. That's why Mopnsanto is bad and their products are dangerous - its like tobacco companies telling you everything is AOK - but refusing to let you test their products independently.
Pig and cattle farmers in the USA and Canada complain about their animals becoming sterile when fed GM products. - - no testing available because of the licence agreement
Ecuador Columbia and Bolivia are sueing the USA for spraying Monsantos zero/round up/glysophate - - the chemical is causing the same problems in their populations as agent orange did in Vietnam - again no testing of the product why??
Monsanto is one of the major political donors in Australia - is it in the USA?
monsanto is dangerous
one member here says they gladly grow monsantios crops - good. As a consumer give me the option to chose if I want to eat monsantos products - you can't - your supplier of seed refuses to let you segregate the crop.
This is where market forces come into it - if you are fair dinkum about market forces - label the crops and let me the consumer chose.
I mentioned before about a major chicken producer dumping USA corn because it was contaminated with GM corn - even KFC over here has come out and said it won't buy chicken fed on GM corn..... what does KFC in the USA say/
