<<because they cannot save their own seeds and must buy Monsanto's seeds, instead.>> That isn't true. Monsanto can't stop them from planting seeds that didn't come from Monsanto.

FACTS? GM crops will add to hunger and political instability in the world by taking the means of feeding their families out of third world farmers' hands because they cannot save their own seeds and must buy Monsanto's seeds, instead. How does Monsanto prevent farmers from keeping their OWN seeds? Planting a Monsanto crop is a choice. I do hope you are not implying that Monsanto's site is reputable or science based? They are simply out to make huge profits. Mosanto's Web Site and the quality thereof does NOT matter in any way shape or form. Would you buy a car based on the Toyota web site? The quality of the scientists and researchers employed by Monsanto is what counts. Is your FACT that Monsanto has BAD scientists? Are you implying that all the PHD's employed by Monsanto in the labs are charlottens and con artists? They are not interested in people's health or well being at all. This is not a fact. If they were, they never would have invented that bovine growth hormone that endangers human health and makes cows' lives unbearably painful as well. This is not a fact. It is the position of a very vegan vegetarian (VVV - i just coined that!)
