Genetically Modified Organisms

I knew that I would eventually get around to writing about GMO's. In my opinion they are the enemy of nature. These man-made seeds are patented and sterility is engineered into the DNA molecule so that the plants can't reproduce. Pollen from these Frankenstein seeds drift all over the globe and threaten to wipe out generations of seed saving efforts. The seed that germinates from these horrible things do not reproduce true to their kind. Not only that but this type of genetic engineering causes a weakness in the celular structure of plants, thus inviting pathogenic invasions.
America seems to increasingly breed these kinds of enterprises, where the only thing that matters is the bottom line. What about nutrition? What about taste? Shouldn't that be a prime consideration?
I plant a garden each year so that I have a choice about what I eat and where my food comes from. I want to taste a tomato and not a cardboard facsimile. If you are thinking about planting a garden yourself, Google GMO's. I swear that the information will make you take some sort of action.
There is one bright note. France has just announced that it is banning the use of GMO's on it's soil. That's a start. That's where change happens. In little bits and pieces. Hats off to the French. Way to go!
How do we stop something so dispicable as GMO's from occurring again and again? One way is to examine how you are investing your disposible income. If these global agricultural corporations lack a steady stream of investment income they will eventually dry up and blow away like their genetically modified seed. That's one way to stop them. Another is to vote for courageous men and women who will stand up to these corporations. Money is their god. Money keeps them in business. Where is your money being invested? Check it out...today.
