At the same time the official emphasized that there was a very clear line between this decision and the development of science, medicine and some other branches.

But in the US, we know our priorities. profits over people.

6. Another fake study done where the paid for scientists claim organic food is not anymore healthy

Than GMOs laced with Roundup, pesticide laden fruits and vegetables, and petroleum based fertilizer raised crops. But one thing even the paid off scientists let slip was the high levels of glyphosate and pesticides found in the bodies of the people who ate GMOs and chemical farmer's produce.

And these chemicals are there almost from birth, building up, slowly deteriorating your body, day after day after day. All so some rich guy can make more money. Capitalism is slowly killing us all.

5. We have been left behind in the dust!

It's enough to give a thinking person a belly ache. But why wouldn't it be nifty to eat the pesticide and the grain for breakfast. The concept was so efficient. They will kill us all before removing GMO from our shelves. So glad I don't have a young child in the house. This would make me crazy!

7. They know whats coming

So as we run out of the magic nitrate supply, the aquifers of the earth are pumped dry, the population balloons to eight billion, we continue to waste twice as much food as we eat and we have as Americans become big fat fascist pigs, what we now call food is nothing of the sort. What we eat comes from a factory. There are no more farms. They have killed the farm. It is not possible to farm anymore. Monsanto owns the seeds and you cannot farm without paying them for the poison seeds or they will sue you.
As aquifers go dry, entire areas will have to be abandoned. Syria, will be a wasteland. The southwestern USA will become a wasteland. When the population is too large, other problems concerning human waste become disease that spreads rapidly.
The over arching ultimate challenge will be the rise in global temps causing massive loss in suitable farmlands. Wars over water, rather than oil will be what we die for next. When the oceans are void of life from the pollution the rise in water temp, what will be left?
The only thing left will be monsantos seeds, factory food and real expensive drinking water drawn from private wells.
