Non-GMO seed

  Ok so GMO is a big issue for us. All you need to do, to discover the heath issues related to GMO foods, use google. This is not the blog for 'rewriting' all of the scientific research that has been done and gone into proving GMO's dangers to our health...not to MENTION our land...
  So what about us who are trying to do our part and buy non GMO seed? How hard can that be right? WRONG! I spent over an hour online today reading various articles, legislation, blogs etc. I finally ended up at a website or blog.....named Occupy Monsanto.
  Here this person is trying to inform us as well as possible, about the potential GMO seed being sold by 'orgnaic' seed companies. Im sure this took a lot of time and by the time I read everything I once again confirmed to myself that the only safe seed we can buy is right here in MO from Baker Creek.
  My husband spent the better part of 2 hours talking with the owner of Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co, Jerr, the other day. He is very concerned about GMOs and does an amazing job of providing PURE seed. There are many things in the works to make sure we can preserve non GMO seeds in the future as well.
   So on this Occupy Monsanto website, there was a commenter, who was so irritated that a wrong word or phrase was being used by someone.....it was said that 'Monsanto owns these seed companies'...the commenter was irritated because , no Monsanto doesn't own them and he said it makes us sound like we are idiots....REALLY? Ok, so from a company standpoint, Monsanto may not OWN these seed companies that say they are organic yet they use GMO...but I have a news alert for ya...Monsanto is virtually owning us all!!
   Our food production, our poor health and our bleak future! So go ahead and get all irritated and technical about wording if you want but there is more truth to that misstatement than I care to realize!

  I think the pressure needs to be on the seed companies to CONVINCE US, PROVE TO US, REASSURE US, SOLICIT US with the fact that they are NON GMO seed providers. If they dont care to be maligned or misquoted or misrepresented then they need to be forthcoming and declare that they will not buy GMO seed. We are the consumer and if you are an organic seed company then you already know there is  a market for that. How can it be that Monsanto has GMO seed in an organic seed company? There is even questions as to whether those who have signed the safe seed pledge are up to date...Some companies were non gmo when signing but now they are not.
  So what is the solution to all of this? Do your homework, find NON GMO seed, and then save your seed.
  If you are anywhere in Iowa growing non gmo seed corn...well, pay attention to who your neighbor is or your corn will become infected.
  There is a lot of work to do and a lot of battles to fight in regards to the protection of our food. I suppose it goes along with our politics though. We want the govt to do everything for us. Now we want them to feed us too. News alert....our govt doesn't feed us any better than they can balance a checkbook...
