Not our seeds? They certainly used to belong to farmers who grew crops and saved seeds. I count myself as at least a customer of those farmers, thus our seeds..

Increasingly, I buy organic. Many people are doing so, with the result that organic produce continues to drop in price.

Monsanto is not your friend, unless you hold their stock. But if you eat food grown from “their” seeds, you may not live long enough to determine the dreadful effect GMO “food” has on people everywhere.

Nonsense. Monsanto has the best R&D organization in the industry. They are one of the best managed companies in the world and they consistently grow their profits every year. They are the envy of the industry. They didn't get there by not creating products that people want and need. They didn't become the industry leader by not creating value. If they weren't producing a product that allowed others to better manage their business and make a profit, Monsanto would be an also ran like so many of their competitors.

Mindlessly demonizing successful American industry is the MO of Obama and his radical left minions. This is what they do, and they do it because they are anti-capitalists and because they hate the fact that our system allows for winners and losers. Conservatives shouldn't be joining them.

You've been eating GMO food all your life. You have no choice. How long have you lived? What "dreadful effects"are you currently suffering from?

Yes! Dirty, scrawny and expensive vegetables are much better than the other kind. Don't get E. Coli!
