The Monsanto GMO ‘seeds’ already have insecticide in them.

Bingo - BT gut paralysing insect killing bacteria bio-chemical poison has been cleverly genetically engineered into food crops.
Medical researchers are now finding that it’s poisonous to not only the caterpillars it was designed to kill, but also has adverse affects on the human GI tract.
GMOs are a very bad idea.
We find adverse effects Afterward.
“The Monsanto GMO ‘seeds’ already have insecticide in them.

NOT true.
GMO technology is a great thing. I used to farm just before GMO technology; and had to use very toxic insecticides on the corn I raised.
The GMO technology has eliminated that risk. Any fear of safety issues with GMO crops is based on lack of knowledge.
If people want to learn more about food production overall; check out Ray Bowmans (The Food and Farm Show) podcasts on ITunes.
He has guests that talk about GMO technology often; he also has a podcast that talks about the bee issue as well.

That's the "buzz", anyhoo.
Kidding aside, this is a big worry;.
