Hillary Clinton says she is terribly worried about future generations of farmers, so she strongly supports the Farm Bill’s crop insurance. But, oh, look closer, it’s kind of like that Technology Agreement, all in the fine print: the USDA-crop-insurance forces farmers to purchase Monsanto’s GE-seed-corn to get it. So, Hillary Clinton is really pushing farmers into what sure looks from here like pure (impure?) GE-seed-hell, helping her friend Monsanto ensnare insurance-desperate farmers.

An Open Letter to Texas about Hillary and Monsanto and Your Farmers

We got more prominent stuff that will slay us we really should tend to.

N if we DO survive the present issues of life, then our food sources WILL certainly be the next level of cause to worry about.

But for now, we got loony government’s, loony elected officials, failing economies, lack of jobs, increasing homeless, and likely a whole SERIES of oncoming viral bugs to worry about. Not to mention all them nukes and the phools with their fingers on the triggers . . .

Course, I ’spose ya gotta write about SOME thing, in here. And DNA and food sources is something. Monsanto is DuPont for foods, I guess.

Then there is the hybrid plant varieties…especially fruits…that are from what was once thought to be impossible to crossbreed. MNany citrus varieties are cross-species hybrids.

In addition Barbara McClintock found that bacteria are changing the genetic character of plants all the time. Bacteria intergrate the genes of one plant and will infect another plant after taking that transposon into it’s own genome and put it in the new plant. They do this with animals as well…in fact about 70% of our own genome has a bacterial or viral origin that’s been passed down, made into multiple copies that have “infected” other parts of our genome, and copied again.

Mark really was informative on the political side of the split between Boosh’s corporate poisoner program and the EU’s precautionary principle.

One thing, I live in The People’s Republic of Berkeley and there are at least half a dozen markets and several supermarkets where I can shop without fear of ingesting corporate poison. That is so because we, the citizens of The People’s Republic, made it so.

You can to it in your community also. Just stop buying the poison and tell the purveyors of same why you are.

Which means that by keeping its head up its collective ass, the US regulatory agencies are impeding our economic progress.

(I figure it the Economist prints it, then it’s sanctioned by the MoversAndShakersWhoKnowAboutTheseThings.)

It’s hard to get your head around the idea that the Frankenfoods you eat break down into the wrong sorts of molecules, which then mean your cells get the wrong nutrients, and this plays out over weeks, months, years. A post on this would be helpful.

Another impressive post from you — thanks much ;-)

If I understand correctly, the premise that non-Caucasians are less affected by aspects of chemical pollution is not a valid premise.

Hope this helps.

Do not, however, expect any form of serious answer.

In fact, do not expect much of anything.

You have fingered the most holy of holies and that is the BIG no-no.

It matters not that you are absolutely correct, only that you are not ‘right’.
