I can't stand Monsanto.

I've begun to change every aspect of my diet to forbid 'fake' food. Too many chemicals that are known to kill and be cancer related are injected into every type of food, even when its proven they could easily be made without.

Bleaches in bread at EVERY fastfood.
Chemicals in sport drinks that are forbidden in the rest of the modern world.
Margarine (aka fake butter) is chemical used to fatten turkeys until it was realized it kills them... but its ok for humans I guess.

So much shit that is known to kill is allowed in food production because at these levels is "ok". Bullshit.

Wanna know why cancers, ADHD, Autism, and other items have spiked over the last 50 years? Its due to these GMOs.

Well, I'm no expert, but I don't think GMOs have anything to do with margarine and chemicals. I believe GMOs function on a more genetic level, like say, changing the genetic structure of potatoes so that they come out square shaped.

By definition of "GMO", yes you are right. However, its part of the larger food production that is focused on the capability to patent food vs provide what is healthy. So far this tinkering of food and creation of non-food has proven to be very, very bad in far too many situations.

This story is a specific example of how they court the government that is supposed to be looking out for all of our safety and instead turns a blind eye to anything the corp would like to do. For better or worse.
