We make our own food? This isn't the 50's where the Family farm was a normal everyday thing. Monstanto grows our food. They sell us their seed. They have a seed that will only produce one year crop then you must go back and buy more seed. The government is taking away the rights of people to have a garden. Look at some of the new FDA regulation. So no we do not grow our food anymore.
Even if Monsanto controls some crops ie soybeans (and this is due in part to justice Thomas who used to work for Monsanto and did not excuse himself from a supreme case) We still grow our own foods.
And anyone can raise a well varied garden with heirloom seeds if they choose and save your own seeds.
I really do not eat many soybeans myself.
Such gloom and doom .......
Monsanto was put in charge of the FDA by Obama, not surprisingly Monsanto is a major campaign donor to the Obama administration, as for the debate on using seeds Monsanto doesn't want any competition, including by organic farmers, that is good economic sense (it holds patents on the seeds which spread through the air, destroying all organic farms), and the direct product of the current economic system which rather than being a free market is just simply many big corporations competing till at last a few big ones control everything. What? You think when Monsanto does this it considers the human cost, it doesn't because if it doesn't make the tough, cruel decisions some other corporation will, it's a shark vs shark economy, and people get hurt. You could always import better food from other nations I guess.
