It made me so mad because Monston? Company was the first one that created genetically engineered corn secretly without telling millions of people for over 15 years. They are bad now because some people recognize their health problems. This company "made" the corn farmers to use the GE on their farm because many farmers want to make more profit and use their GE plants stronger to kill the insects. Some farmers still use the chemical spray on their plants at the same time. They are dishonest to all of us!

In fact, a few years ago, U.S. ship brought a massive of corns for poor people in Africa, and a leader blocked and forced the ship to take the corn back to the company. This leader is very smart, and he ordered rices from other countries. Today, I found out that Good Morning news said a company is starting to use genetically engineered on rices. What another sick!

In the 1920's, they had a few health problem in the old days except the DDT chemical (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) in 1940's. Over years, we are so blind that we cannot see what the companies are doing with their food products on the food markets. Health issues are getting worse every year. Are you aware of this problem?
