But this ignores the fact that such companies have openly admitted their total inability to keep GMOs from migrating and contaminating non-GMO fields. And superweeds are often so transferable that I seriously doubt they'd only grow in fields sprayed with Roundup. Furthermore, what makes Syngenta, Dow, Monsanto and Bayer think that the superweeds now resistant to Roundup won't develop a tolerance toCallisto, dicamba, glufosinate, Agent Orange derivatives and anything else they decide to throw at them?
This should be a wake-up call for Big Ag. It's clear that business as usual is making the production of food more dangerous and less sustainable with practically every new development.
But of course, they don't see it that way. And until Big Ag realizes that a farmer's field is not a war zone, they're going to keep trying out their shiny new weapons -- or in Dow's case, old rust-colored ones -- on our bodies and planet.
