Mark,

>>To add insult to injury, they can be fined for growing the resulting seed the following year if it has the genetic markers that the Monsanto's of the world insert to protect the demand for seed corn. Farmers who choose to grow the genetically modified form are prohibited from saving seed for subsequent plantings.<<

The public has just begun to hear about the alteration of our food stuffs to benefit agricultural conglomerates. We're another generational laboratory.

In all the readings, I've seen very little mention of industry meltdowns. The problems can always be worked out and contained. Japan is just considered finicky and fussy for refusing starlink.

Mad Cow is a real disease and exists in this country and Canada today. Rudiment feeds are still being fed to poultry, swine, sheep and cattle. The cows rudiments are fed to pigs and the pigs back to the cows. If it breaks out here it will be the industries fault. They've been warned.

I had some Elk on a recent trip to Alberta, I hope it didn't come from the herd that was just destroyed.

Today anything like this effects currencies and commodities and would be devastating here in the USA.

Hopefully it will remain contained.
