What do you think is the cause of those attributes? Let's say it together "Genes!"
What are you doing to get the attributes.
"You modify the Genes!"
We will pick it up when you get back...
This is the last post I'll make in this thread pertaining to this subject because I know it is off topic. I'll open a new thread need be in the debate section for any further need of clarity for further elucidation.
For anyone in the dark about Monsanto this is a clip with actually historic footage and documentation (although all you need to do is just ask your local farmers and you will have more than enough information)

Clarification on GMO's
Genetically Modifying or engineering has to do with the biology of an organism manipulated in it's DNA structure by injection or other means of viruses, bacteria, or chemicals not associated with its prior makeup present. Jeffrey M. Smith explains, "Some GM varieties of corn and cotton are poison producers, equipped with a gene from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis to produce insect-killing Bt-toxin" (2009).
Doctors from around the globe remain hesitant due to sufficient data, test trials and other measures taken for the assurance of future or present health implications. Even scientists and doctors expressed concern here in the US,
"According to documents released from a lawsuit, FDA scientists repeatedly warned that GM foods can create hard-to-detect allergies, poisons, new diseases, and nutritional problems" (Smith, 2009).
Other countries around the world are adament about not having Americanized seeds or other processed goods present, "Europeans insist that such food be clearly labeled, a vivid contrast with U.S. consumers, who don't appear bothered that so much of their processed food includes genetically engineered soy and corn and isn't labeled as such." (Moore, 2008). Farmers also weigh in their frustrations. From their qualms with Monsanto to the corn used to feed their livestock. "
No one knows why animals refuse GMOs, but according to the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM), people should follow their example. AAEM cites a host of problems in lab animals fed GMOs, including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, dysfunctional insulin and cholesterol regulation, and damage to major organs and the gastrointestinal system." (Smith, 2009)
Micheal Taylor is an interesting individual, as a former head of the FDA's GMO policies and affiliated with Monsanto might warrant some introduction. "Michael Taylor, the former attorney of biotech giant Monsanto, to head up the FDAs GMO policy. That policy ignored the scientists and declares that Monsanto and others can determine if their own foods are safe. There are no required safety studies. After leaving the FDA, Taylor later became Monsantos vice president. In 2009, he was reinstalled at the FDA as the
U.S. Food Safety Czar. (Smith, 2009)

Been awhile since I used APA style format, didn't really develop a thesis statement. I could write out a real document on this but something tells me people wouldn't really care...
But if anyone wants any more info hit me up and I'll be glad to share information with them
