If you'd like to pay more for food and clothing be my guest. Monsanto's genetics and chemical engineering are what allow for the largest yields in history to feed a growing population cheaply. Also, they aren't the only company that does any of this. They're just convenient for people to bash. Plenty of other companies doing things like this. DuPont, for example.
Growing a garden is always an option. Maybe get together with like minded individuals and start your own nice little collective. Monsanto isn't out to hurt you, they're a company that gives consumers what they ask for. It would be bad for stock prices if people started dieing.
And yet the average life expectancy keeps going up... How can this be?
Ease up on the facts bro....It confuses the "We all need to be 16th century farmers or die" crowd...

Seems to be declining in some areas.
And let's keep in mind that modern medical interventions have improved, especially in child birth. Average life expectancy isn't a great indicator. Obesity, diabetes and cancer are all skyrocketing. Why?

The scarier thing to me is that these genetically modified crops will one day meet a parasite that wipes out large percentages of the whole nations crops. There is so little diversity left in the genepool of our food crops that one bad bug could do tremendous damage. Think of the global consequences to an American crop failure. Think of someone developing a bug to do it. That's real bio-warfare. Think of how much $$$ could be made if you had the cure.
So a company that just got an exemption from congress that allows them to not got sued by anyone if their food product makes you sick is not out to hurt you?

I don't understand why then they wont serve GMO's in their own cafeteria.

Sounds Innocent enough right?!

Ahhh. What does it matter? Go back to sleep guys! If the history and facts were punches you'd be missing half your faces by now.
And yet we are on average living longer, again how can this be? I'm still waiting for an answer to that question.
You make it sound like all farmers across America are planting the same strain of corn/wheat/beans ect...
Just because they all share a genetic trait doesn't make them the same strain. They are just as varied as any other strains that don't have the Roundup Ready genes.
