Genetically altered soybeans have cross pollenated with regualr soybeans and now Monsant is putting farmers out of business for raising their patented soy beans.
In a few years all soy beans seeds in the USA will come from Monsanto and be genetically altered.
There is currently only one source of regualr non patented soy bean seeds left and it is expected to end this year.

Monsanto was the subject of the second part of Food, Inc. Such a lovely monopoly. They have teams of inspectors making sure that some private farmer's seeds don't include some of Monsanto's genetically altered seeds, even if the cross-seeding blew in on the wind! Then a second team of lawyers makes sure that farmer is so tied up in legal defenses, that he goes bankrupt.
