Reply #80: I have seen reports that there is long term damage to soil biota from BT crops

It's a slow steady, cumulative poisoning of the microorganisms that contribute to soil health. The end result is a soil that is out of balance and altered in subtle ways.

The GMO atatack has been ongoing since Reagan.. The insiders that control the message regarding GMO's are fully entrenched that it no longer matters what political party appears to be holding power.

Obama really never came out with a position on GMO, and I recall asking the community organizer for volunteer work what it was and they just shrugged their shoulders.

It's pretty clear the Obama is just another pretty face for the Corporate PR branch of Corporate America.

Most Americans are totally oblivious of how food is manufactured these days. The synthetic flavors, textures, and packaging are all it takes to get people to eat something that is based on some chemical formula or trade secret.

I'm still waiting to see a detailed documentary showing the inside of a Corn Refinery, along with detailed photography of the manufacturing steps, equipment, and process used to manufacture High Fructose Corn Syrup by the Railroad car. I have a feeling that it all I have to do is cut a scene out of the last 15 minutes of Soylent Green and I wouldn't be too far off from the visuals of the refinery.

If that isn't a good reason to boycott HFCS for anyone, then they are way too gullible and deserve to kill themselves slowly, while shelling out money for product that costs pennies per gallon to produce.


P.S.
Try Taro, Plantain, Manioc, Breadfruit as alternative to plastic food products of the midwest American farmer.. Unfortunately, these are all tropical products that are basically unavailable fresh in mainland America, but we have switched and it does wonders for the body. Very easy to grow here in the tropics.
