You sound like a hillbilly redneck from the swamps. These varieties use the same mechanism plants normally use to fight off viral diseases. They just made it more effective and put it into a plant that they didn't have to start breeding from scratch. Yes, there are restrictions for contracts, but the patents will end after a couple decades. Here's a question for you all. Rutgers tomato is considered an heirloom and was hybridized in the 1920's (released in the 30's). It was the state of technology then, but now is a heirloom. I can't wait until these transgenic plants of today become tomorrow's heirlooms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350795440299513659.post-38451740907950149802012-01-08T03:41:14.214-05:002012-01-08T03:41:14.214-05:00There is a new global campaign against Monsanto to...There is a new global campaign against Monsanto to make it sign the collective contract given out by consumers. http://t.co/1NLdWjA9Satyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452644335697753088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350795440299513659.post-64566569032469139712011-09-22T13:11:30.581-04:002011-09-22T13:11:30.581-04:00Hi!

I watched a movie on Hulu a little bit ago about Monsanto seeds called "The Future of Food" http://www.hulu.com/watch/67878/the-future-of-food. very interesting film!<br /><br />It's amazing to me that we can splice a few genes and then call a living thing our "own", additionally sell it for profit! It's incredible how much profit the Monsanto company makes from "owning" seeds and distributing them! Having taken many biology classes as well as having worked quite a bit in the research field I understand why researchers patent their genetically engineered organisms in order to further benefit their field and their research in general; however, what Monsanto is doing just seems wrong! I believe it is one thing to genetically engineer foods for the benefit of society (as was attempted in 3rd world countries, incorporating vitamins into the naturally occurring grains to fight vitamin deficiency), but modifiying grains in order to "own" them and then make a profit just seems so evil and wrong! Capitalism at its finest!<br /><br />Good for you for commenting about this on your blog. I feel the issue does not get enough attention due to the affiliation of many members of Congress with the company.<br /><br />Just my 2cSarah B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350795440299513659.post-89958870787171104522011-08-21T08:43:40.854-04:002011-08-21T08:43:40.854-04:00great article!! knowing there are peoplke like you...great article!! knowing there are peoplke like you out there restores some of my faith in humanityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350795440299513659.post-54864667207562034292011-06-04T10:20:36.358-04:002011-06-04T10:20:36.358-04:00There are 2 GM sweet corns out there too, Triple P...There are 2 GM sweet corns out there too, Triple PRO, and Atribute :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350795440299513659.post-26947140378739111992011-06-04T10:16:39.059-04:002011-06-04T10:16:39.059-04:00Sassafrass,

Seeds are so important to our survival it amazes (and saddens) me that there isn't more care for them. We use heritage variety vegetable seeds when we can find them. (One year we'll be more organised and instead of buying our seeds at the last minute from a local plant shop we'll buy our seeds online from one of the heritage seed specialists). <br /><br />If you haven't seen 'The Corporation' you may be interested in it (but be ready to get a bit grumpy and angry at the various corporations...).Michellehttp://tansysgarden.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
