Kind of scary:
More reasons to avoid processed and packaged foods, IMHO.
Kind of scary:
Though the technology is advancing rapidly to provide consumers with more and more detailed information about their food, individual boycotts face daunting odds: Monsanto, for example, owns the patents for roughly 90 percent of the seeds grown in the US, and virtually all processed foods contain GM corn or soybeans. Many families cannot afford to exclusively buy organic or well-sourced food. And boycotts alone likely won’t be enough to break a few companies’ monopoly over American grocery stores. Regulatory agencies like the FDA and the USDA have been rendered more or less toothless by special interests, frequently citing food producers for violations yet taking no meaningful action to prevent dangerous products from reaching the market. Instead, regulators often look the other way — with sometimes fatal consequences. Meanwhile, government officials are actively helping Monsanto and other food giants to drive out all other competition and stifle food diversity.
