Wheat exports in trouble!

[Oerets]

Seems most of the world refuses to import genetically modified wheat .

http://www.washingtonpost.com/busine...a47_story.html
"Japan, the largest market for U.S. wheat exports, suspended imports from the United States and canceled a major purchase of white wheat on Thursday after the recent discovery of unapproved genetically modified wheat in an 80-acre field in Oregon."



This could effect all exports if left up to Monsanto!

The big question is how this crummy genetically modified Monsanto wheat strain got out of the lab fields? and how far it has spread. Too bad we can't jail Monsanto.

Sure would be nice since a corporation is a person lets put it in jail!

As far as the contamination probably wind from who knows where. Scary to think what other plants it infected with roundup resistance genes!

Monsanto should be forced to pay any damages to all farmers impacted by the boycott.

The EU is talking about enforcing their zero tolerance policy, too. This is big.

They see what has become of us and how deeply we are brainwashed and controlled by our corporate masters. It's an insideous form of tyranny and they want no part of it.

Good for all the other countries saying no to Monsanto and their frankenfood products.
