As some of you might have heard, a lawsuit was filed against Monsanto, stating that Monsanto unlawfully planted GM sugar beets crops without properly testing for environmental and health effects. On November 30, the courts ordered the crops to be burned to prevent contaminating natural crops. This was all good and a step in the right direction for our food.
Monsanto, however, recently won a reversal and the crops do not have to be burned! Read about it here.

It's probably all the inside people Monsanto has that caused the reversal.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see the US Agriculture Department being on Monsanto's side. Shocking.
