What's Wrong with Alfalfa?
Our friends at Monsanto and the USDA approved the use of genetically modified alfalfa, otherwise known as "Round-Up Ready". The only problem is, they didn't actually bother to fully test it first. Luckily some of those wacky environmental groups took them to court where a judge revoked the approval and told them to stop planting the seeds. Monsanto is now arguing that this will hurt the farmers who have already purchased the seeds. I think I may have a solution. How about if the farmers destroy the seeds and Monsanto reimburses them? When pigs fly. In the meantime, what can we do? Well, for a start, we can stop eating their crap! Look for products that say no GMOs on the package or better yet, organic products. Your dollar is the only influence you have in these kinds of situations, use it wisely.

Wasn't there just a story about how a truck full of the seeds drove past a farm where they blew onto the land and the farmer got sued?
