They are systematically taking down small farmers across the globe. Truly, this is a matter of long term survival. There is no negotiating with those that want to patent life, that want to control our food supply and limit the biodiversity of this planet and in the process, poison our land and sea. How do you negotiate with those that refuse to be transparent? That fight like the dickens to keep us from having a choice about what we eat? Sorry Joan, they may be just as passionate about what they do as we are passionately against what they do, but some things are non-negotiable. When it comes to my right to choose non-gmo over gmo and they spend millions of dollars to fight it, I can't accept that. If I don't trust their reassurances because of a poor track record, because of their refusal to do adequate testing, because of their ungodly alliance with the FDA and USDA, than I have the right to refuse to eat gmo or feed it to my family. Not everyone has the ability to grow their own food, shop at farmers markets or afford organic. I do all of the above but there are many, especially the poor and those living in cities that cannot. There is something so explicitly wrong with the biotech industry and I do not want to see Hawaii turned into a toxic dust bowl. It's already happening on the Westside of Kaua'i and the island of Molokai.
