Monsanto and Genetically Modified Organisms

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is usually a plant, like corn or soybeans, although scientists have been messing around with animals too. (Messing around is a scientific term that means we don’t know what’s going to happen but, gee, let’s find out.)

Monsanto is one of a few giant multi-national corporations in the GMO industry, they also make the herbicide Roundup whose main ingredient is glyphosate. Many of the GMO crops were designed to withstand large applications of Roundup to kill other plants without harming the GMO crops.

Below is a photo of rats that were fed GMO foods. (Click on this and the next image to see it in full.)

The next image shows how Monsanto and government work hand-in-hand.

I really think we have a serious problem here. But that’s why Monsanto and others don’t want you to have food labels showing if any GMO’s are in your food.
