MONSANTO RESUMES ITS BULLYING ON GE WHEAT

 

Up until last week, Monsanto had promised that it would not press

for Bush Administration approval for its genetically engineered (GE)

wheat until Canadian regulatory officials were ready to approve the

controversial crop. However, due to strong resistance to GE wheat

from Canadian consumers and farmers, Monsanto has announced it may

choose to break this vow, causing great concern inside the U.S.

wheat industry. " If we introduce and the Canadians do not, that

would make it easier for countries to continue to insist on buying

from a country that is GM-free and it would give Canada a

distinct marketing advantage, " said U.S. Wheat President Alan Tracy.

Monsanto claims it has every right to do what it pleases. The bottom

line is that Monsanto is desperate and believes that its friends in

the White House have no qualms about forcing Frankenfoods down

consumers' throats--even if it means billions of dollars in export

losses for hapless U.S. wheat farmers.
