I'm now glad I began this thread, and thank you all so much for contributing. I'm learning a lot, and getting more scared that what I initially thought to be true,is in fact the case. Good old Monsanto, at it again, huh?

It reminds me of all the things happening within the drug industry in the past years, of trying to patent any and everything under the sun, so the drug companies can profit like crazy. We have something going on here in the UK as well with the attempt of the drug companies to remove all sorts of things from the shelves of our stores, like vitamins, herbs...all supposedly in the "interests of the public". This seems to be the case with GM products as well.

Americans are more gullible about these things, you're right. We still believe what our government tells us (thus a jolly war in Iraq initiated by our nonpresident, given to us courtesy of the US Supreme Court) and have been willing to do this for far too long. It takes the grass roots communities in different parts of the country to rise up and say ENOUGH...but this doesn't happen nearly enough, and each is a lengthy fight.

Any more info about GM is welcome. I just heard that milk cows in England have been fed on GM grain for quite a while now, with no one in the greater populice being informed. Terrific...xx..e
