This is not a good trend. Shame on corporate control of food production.

Do you have a solution?  The only way to really address the problem, other than just complaining, is to regulate the industry.

Because giant multinational corporations will make decisions in the best interest for humanity?  The same giant multinationals that are the cause of the complaints in the article?  Good one.  That is why i refer to your ideology as sloppy thinking.

Your thesis is wrong. Multi-national corporations will not always act in the best interest of humanity.

....and you think government does??? ......who do you think is behind the genetically-modified seeds.......FDA.....

"FDA believes it is very important for the public to understand how government is overseeing the new foods being introduced into the marketplace and to have confidence in that process. To that end the Agency appreciates this opportunity to describe its processes and procedures to the Committee and to the public, and to clarify what bioengineered food products are and how FDA regulates them."

Trust us.......we will protect you.....by letting you know when something is already on the market that could kill you.....Oooops! ........sorry too late.....  :'(

i happen to believe in representative government.  We could put an end to the cronyism if people were not content to simply complain and whine.

You have rejected outright the ability of the people to make the system work.  You libertarians are just complainers and have no practical solutions.
