***Farewell To Organic Food***
I believe this was the plan all along so there can be no turning back and that the general populace becomes dependent on corporate frankenfood. Our power of choice is being eroded in a multitude of areas but perhaps this is the most important area of all.

Genetically modified strains have contaminated two-thirds of all crops in US

More than two-thirds of conventional crops in the United States are now contaminated with genetically modified material - dooming organic agriculture and posing a severe future risk to health - a new report concludes.
Because of the contamination, the report says, farmers unwittingly plant billions of
Genetically-Modified seeds a year, spreading genetic modification throughout US agriculture. This would be likely to lead to danger to health with the next generation of
Genetically-Modified crops, bred to produce pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals - delivering "drug-laced cornflakes" to the breakfast table.
The test found that at "the most conservative expression", half the maize and soyabeans and 83 per cent of the oilseed rape were contaminated with
Genetically-Modified genes - just eight years after the modified varieties were first cultivated on a large scale in the US.
