we Americans are spoiled by the notion of "cheap" food.... TRANSTAAFL - theres no such thing as a free lunch- there is a cost to cheap food, which ends up not being cheap at all...

listed below are two not-for-profit organizations that are working to preserve the genetics of livestock & plants that have been "replaced" by agribusiness as not worth the effort. Support the folks who are doing more than complaining, but are taking the needed steps to at least preserve what they can before it too is lost.

the next step is to support local producers who use IPM ( Intergrated Pest Management) or are Organic farmers or at least grow & sell locally. If your $$$ goes to the chain stores that ship in food from around the world instead of locally, well guess what - it is your $$$ that is being used to back Monsanto & the rest of the handful of mega corps involved in food production around the world.

how about backing a FArm Bill that gives more support to small farmers than to the mega corps that are the real "takers" in our society.

bitching about GMO is akin to arguing about the deck chair seating on the Titanic... the real problem is that chunk of ice ahead & someone at the helm who didn't know how to handle the situation.
