And we are getting Roundup resistant weeds. Frankenweeds I guess!

Better living through chemistry.

A month ago the FDA approved Roundup resistant alpha. It doesn't mean alpha and beets won't be laced with Roundup, it just means alpha and beets won't die when sprayed with the stuff, eat hearty and enjoy your third eye and one leg after years of eating chemically altered food.

Another little issue with this is that when your crops cross pollinate with the GMA stuff, Monsanto will claim you owe them for using their patented genes. Another screwing for the small guys by corporations.

LucsAdvo has it right! Check out the Supreme Court rulings on Monsanto engineered soy beans.
And guess you on the court used to work for Monsanto???
Clarence (Long John Silver) Thomas! YUCK!

That happened to a farmer in Canada as well, and he lost, so he promptly turned around and sued Monsanto for trespass... and won!

Speaking of Monsanto soybeans, there's an enormous (and carefully propagandized) myth that genetically modified (GM) crops produce more. The opposite is true:

Given that it's a myth, one might ask: why is there such a global effort to push GM crops?

why is there such a global effort to push GM crops?

I am almost to the point that if I can't grow it or buy it organic (veggies), I wont eat it.

At the risk of repeating the obvious, let me point out that ALL our food crops organic or otherwise are Genetically Modified! Whether selectively bred (old slow way) or modified through genetic manipulation, we are, and will continue to eat foods, created by the efforts of man. If not for said genetic manipulation the earth's food supply would not support one 1/100th of its population. I for one am not keen on going back to a hunter gatherer economy. The organic issue (roundup ready notwithstanding) is separate from the GM debate. Methods of weed control, and pest control vary in terms of effectiveness safety and economy. There will always be lots of tradeoffs and decisions to be made. If our future agricultural economy is to be based strictly on organic locavore principles we will be one hungry species. I am not prepared to going back to fertilizing our crops with night soil. Please refer back to "good ol days" before whipping up the anti-GM anti-technology paranoia. There, hows that for an opinion?

No, but I can see why you might confused "genetically modified" with "selective breeding". In fact, there's an enormous difference, and it makes all the difference in the world. For those unfamiliar with the difference, try these:

I'd encourage all the readers out there to set aside "anti-technology/Luddite" rants for a few minutes and learn the difference.
