Consumers have a right to know what's in the food we buy. Funny how we hear ad nauseum that women have a right to choose to kill their babies, but we somehow don't have a right to know whether we're eating round up in the foods on the grocery shelf. Round Up ready seeds were supposed to increase crop yields and solve the food problems in the world. It hasn't happened that way. Instead, we are seeing super weeds and super bugs that have developed resistance to round up-- just like the super bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics -- one more demonstration of the law of unintended consequences. We may face starvation in the future, not because of overpopulation, but thanks to Monsanto and their GM crops. Plant heritage seeds in your garden! And support legislation to require consumer labeling. JUST LABEL IT!

How safe is our food supply? Are you eating glued meat?
One of the advantages of living in the country is being able to buy our beef from a local Mennonite farmer. It's grass fed and not pumped full of antibiotics and hormones. But we get our pork and chicken at the grocery store. This video is almost enough to make me a vegetarian. Genetically modified vegetables anyone? Now don't you think we have a right to know when we're buying this?
Makes one wonder if things have changed much since Upton Sinclair exposed the horrors in the meat packing industry of the early 20th century. Let's have consumer labeling on this "glued meat."
