I am very relieved I live in the UK, GMO crops are banned in Europe, at least for the time being.0

Overreacting.
In what world?
Did you actually read the act or the over blown sensational news story?0 -
Maybe I am behind on the times, but as for as I know we do not have GMO wheat in the US. We have hybridized wheat but not GMO wheat.
GMO corn and some other crops, yes there are those out there that are lab creations and is disconcerting.
My source on the wheat info was my own reading and also the two (college educated in Ag) farmers that run my family's wheat crops. I had this specific conversation with them last summer after joining MFP and seeing the concerns in the message boards. I am interested if someone has peer reviewed studies done on the effects of crop changes on diseases, where the author doesn't have a personal monetary stake in the publishing of the article/book.0 -
It's been shown that GMO wheat is the cause of gluten allergies and celliac (sp?) disease.. so yes.. let not even hold them liable for the harm they knowingly cause
Not to mention it takes away the power of the supreme court and the right for people to sue.
O rly? Care to substantiate that?0 -
Also Monsanto is a very large contributor to the presidential campaign..and he's the head of the FDA.. Conflict of interest much?? Food for thought.. (pun intended)
Tinfoil hat much?
He is now a she and a corporate entity is now a woman?

THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL - AND AMERICANS EVERYWHERE NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT MONSANTO IS DOING, NOT ONLY IN AMERICA - BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD! Their ultimate goal is to own the food supply. Period. Order the film, "The World According to Monsanto" on Amazon.com, and then watch all of it. Then, show it and share it with as many people as you possibly can, it's okay, they don't require any fees for public screenings of them film. Monsanto must be stopped, and this new bill only opened the gates in their favor! A direct HIT to our healthy food supplies. And yes, they have sued many, many US farmers and the farmers cannot fight them, they end up bankrupt. PLEASE write to President Obama and let him know how disappointed you are about this new bill. Go to: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact , you can email him directly at this link. I worked very hard to get him re-elected, and still respect many other good things this administration is accomplishing, but this bill IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.
i'll have to watch this movie0 -
Get the pitchforks and the torches.
Oh who am I kidding? No one is going to do anything except shut up and bend over for our new food overlords.0 -
If only some of you worried about things that were actually real problems in society. Instead of getting worked up over nothing.0

I don't expect anything less from President Obama. He is owned by the corporations and for the corporations. He will go down in history as one of the worst presidents this country has ever had.0

No, hasn't. I'm totally against the bill and wrote all my representatives with my views prior to the vote, but this statement above is still not true.0 -

Sorry to disappoint you but that slot was already taken by his predecessor.

Whether or not there is anything wrong with GMO food, Monsanto should NOT be protected against possible future harm that might arise.
That's as good as admitting they already KNOW there is something they'll get sued over.0 -
Just going to leave this here...
