(157 posts)cannot save Monsanto seeds for the next season crop...they have to buy new. Monsanto test farmer's seeds to make sure none have the Patented seeds DNA. Many farmers have been sued by Monsanto because of this, even if it was due to cross-pollination. Do the farmers have money to buy the patents? Do any farmers still have original seeds, and are there enough to get rid of Monsanto?
Monsanto tricked farmers into buying the new seeds. Monsanto boasted their seeds were drought resistant, grew faster and bigger. Most farmers were unaware the seeds were patented. Want to know more? Search such things as; Monsanto sues farmers; farmers cannot save Monsanto seeds for next crop season...you get the picture.
Now, what about our meat, and the use of sex hormones pumped into the animals to make them grow faster and fatter. Why is this being done? The answer: they have to speed it up so they can feed the world.
Any way it ends with the Americans paying the price out of OUR pockets, not the companies. That's the way it is, right? Gotta make sure the investors and shareholders get THEIR money. God forbid the companies pay anything out of their pocket, just keep passing it onto the consumers.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm sick of their mindset, and I'm sick of these lazy ass "investors" too!
