An older but well documented video {below} on the potential dangers of Genetically Modified Organisms in our world food supply. How in the name of 'mere Financial Patenting Privileges, along with all of the accompanying humanitarian "spin" that we are putting ourselves in real possible danger at many.many levels.
I was born into a wealthy family and I am thankful to where it has gotten me as far as perspective goes, but realize that money is like toilet paper (useful to have around when guests are visiting).
