I was shocked to learn about RR soybean production when I recently watched the movie Food, Inc. It is terrible what Monsanto is doing to small farmers who are trying to grow soybeans that are not genetically modified. Their intimidation tactics and lawsuits are putting farmers out of business, or making it nearly impossible to even buy seeds that don’t come from Monsanto anymore.

I posted this entry last summer. Since then, the approval of roundup ready alfalfa continues to wend it’s way through the bowels of the regulatory approval process. See docket:

There is no current comment period open. The Center for Food Safety is the best place to keep abreast of this issue.
Meantime, some good reading here

Thank you for this information. I’ve created a post linking to your blog. I will be sending it on to the Naturopathic community as a whole as well. Do you know who to write in particular? I know the Presidents garden at the White House is organic, perhaps he just hasn’t been able to get to this area yet?
