Monsanto and the Future of Our Food

DailyRead at Trailing Edge brings us some of what we've missed in the media because we're all waiting for Elvis to appear in a hospice in Florida. GMOs are a big issue locally because in general, this state tries to manage food using heirloom seed crops, no pesticides, and no genetic mutation. This year, for example, we tried to order exclusively from seed companies that support the farmers involved in litigation against Monsanto who endangers our future food crop.

On the one hand, I really don't give a flying fuck about what Monsanto itself chooses to do (although it's hard to imagine buying food products from a carpet and rug company). It's how Monsanto and a few others are impacting everyone else's ability to produce food without this mutation and (wow.. legal copyrights on corn) that ticks me off. If Monsanto can't stop polluting everything else, one would think their figurative license should be pulled.
