I just watched "The Future of Food" I can not believe that the Patent office, The FDA and the biotech community has allowed The Monsanto Corporation to poison us.

Genetically Engineered Food is the taking of a Genetic material from one organism and inserting it into the permanent genetic code of another. The have taken bacteria and antibiotics, and inserted them into the genetic material of Corn, Soya and wheat. They have been doing this for the past several decades.
Studies have revealed that genetically engineered foods can pose serious risks. Risks of toxicity, allergenicity, antibiotic resistance, immune-suppression and cancer.

Environmentally genetically engineered agriculture could lead to uncontrolled biological pollution, threatening numerous microbial, plant and animal species with extinction, and the potential contamination of non-genetically engineered life forms with novel and possibly hazardous genetic material.
