Thanks, Misty.
Comments anyone? It is too late to stop this but it still can be slowed down if enough people know about it and care.

MONSANTO RESUMES ITS BULLYING ON GE WHEAT
Up until last week, Monsanto had promised that it would not press
for Bush Administration approval for its genetically engineered (GE)
wheat until Canadian regulatory officials were ready to approve the
controversial crop. However, due to strong resistance to GE wheat
from Canadian consumers and farmers, Monsanto has announced it may
choose to break this vow, causing great concern inside the U.S.
wheat industry. "If we introduce and the Canadians do not, that
would make it easier for countries to continue to insist on buying
from a country that is GM-free and it would give Canada a
distinct marketing advantage," said U.S. Wheat President Alan Tracy.
Monsanto claims it has every right to do what it pleases. The bottom
line is that Monsanto is desperate and believes that its friends in
the White House have no qualms about forcing Frankenfoods down
consumers' throats--even if it means billions of dollars in export
losses for hapless U.S. wheat farmers.

It is amazing what Monsanto tries to do and Does. I heard they spend 100Mil$ on enforcement to find farmers who crops Have been Tainted by polination from neighboring farms to try to get Them to Pay for the crops when they Don't want GM crops. One farmer is fighting them and Lost in court and is apealing.Saw where GM seeds were found in with Non GM ones. They say they put 3rd world farmers Out of busines but can't remember how.
