Some Scary Farming News

According to this report I heard on the radio this morning, the agricultural weed killer, Roundup, has been used for so long, weeds have finally genetically mutated to resist it. Now it seems farmers, instead of plowing their fields to get rid of the weeds, are instead adding MORE chemicals to their arsenal.

Mega-corporation Monsanto owns the patent on Roundup, as well as those of the seeds it sells to produce Roundup-resistant crops, like soybeans and corn. Yes, genetically-modified foods now compete for sun and soil with mutated Roundup-resistant weeds. Is it just me or is Monsanto going to genetically modify our food supply out of existence? Hie ye to ye olde organic farmer's market!
