“But... but... but... the fresh meat and fresh vegetables have been ruined too. That is the problem. Most of us can only grow and harvest food for a few weeks out of the year. We have to buy the poisoned food unless we can afford organic.”

“The fresh produce has been poisoned. Some of it (probably your Russet potatoes) is classified as an insecticide by the EPA, not a food. Some of it has systemic Roundup (probably your corn and soybeans) that will give you lymphoma. Really. Thank Monsanto for this.
Genetically engineered food should be labeled so we can research and decide what we want to eat.”

“No doubt the Mormon who wrote this series is in hugely good graces with her church (they are all about money and money is seen as a reward by God for being good). But she still cannot be a goddess over her own planet and eternally pregnant unless she is attached to a god who earns this.
Go figure.”

“Those people could not find Washington, D. C. on a map.
Our job is to make sure the rest of the nation goes to the polls. Apathy among the rest of us is what lets people like that take over.
In Kansas, every few years, a school board gets elected that decides to teach creationism and the next election cycle this gets corrected. It has happened twice now.

“They don't subsidize most crops. Organic farmers and small vegetable farms do not benefit from subsidies. It is not fair.
Someone in my extended family of in-laws worked for the government office that takes applications for and distributes checks for farm subsidies. She sees 6-figure checks go out all the time to family farms, so who knows how much the corporate farms are getting. The wheat farmers are the most reliable Republicans on earth, and they detest socialism. Apparently it is not socialism when THEY are getting the check. The hypocrisy!
Subsidies were never designed to help corporate farms. That is a travesty.”

“We as individuals cannot control the way companies produce our food. The food is produced in harmful ways and it is not as nutritious as it was before corporations took over food production. What can an individual do about that? We buy as much local food from small farms and gardens as we can afford, and produce some of our own, but 99% of the food is produced in ways harmful to humans and the environment and the food itself is poison.”

“The more I learn about Monsanto, the more I believe it is that company that will one day destroy the world for the human population. Not climate change. Not a nuclear bomb. When one company controls the whole world's food supply and cares only for profit, and takes breathtaking liberties with plant life and the ownership of life, one day they are gonna screw up.
Genetically engineered food is a very serious problem. The potential to destroy everything is very real. Just one example: New foods that are themselves an insecticide like the bt insecticide, so that if a bug eats any part of the plant it dies. The certain result is that bugs will evolve with a resistance to one of the most effective and least harmful (to other life) insecticides available, and the world will have lost this. The repercussions are impossible to calculate but will be huge.”

“If a bug dies from eathing the plant, what does it do to the human body on a cellular level?
This issue is very scary . . . just watched "Food, Inc." - fantastic movie.
We have to have better policy when it comes to our nation's food supply.”

“If it ever reached the SCOTUS, that dinosaur on continuous life support, easily the most entrenched and compromised institution of permanent confusion masquerading as wisdom, would find a way to once more paint citizens as enemies of the republic.
I agree with you, and i know you are serious, but i recall the situation in the thirties, when WW1 soldiers camped out in front of the federal capitol, demanding their promised war bonus. they did so because they were homeless, jobless and starving.
patton, macarthur and eisenhower were called in to rout them. and they did. many died. all were displaced, far and wide. i have no illusions about who is capable of maintaining the status quo against those who would desire to change it.
who would file this lawsuit and carry it forward?”
