[QUOTE="IGotMyWings, post: 740795, member: 8639"] I don't know what, if any, effects GMO feed or seed will have on the future. What I do know is that there is a growing market for naturally produced food. I know that with continued prevalence of genetic seed stock, those of us who choose to produce or purchase natural foods will be hard pressed to do it. The government regulations say that GMO is not allowed in organic feed, so, by their own standard, they are agreeing with my stand that it's not natural. Why don't they allow it, if it's just as good as or better than "natural" and perfectly fine? Below are two articles that discuss the RR weed problems. The second site shows that Monsanto has been aware of the problem for at least nine years, and is already secured the patent for the upcoming super spray. With the advent of the super spray, it stands to reason that the hold up in it's marketing is either that they are waiting for just the right moment, or they are currently doing more genetic tinkering to make sure that they can also sell you the super spray ready seed to go with it. As for the dead plants building immunity, just so you know; the dead ones aren't the problem. It's the ones that don't die that are the problem.
