A well-respected and popular professor at the University of California in Berkeley has been fired after publishing a scientific paper regarding the uncontrolled contamination of irreplaceable native Mexican corn varieties by genetically engineered corn. Dr. Ignacio Chapela, whose corn contamination article was published in the science journal "Nature," was denied his tenure due to pressure from the biotech company Monsanto on the University (the UC Berkeley tenure review panel had actually voted almost unanimously to approve his tenure). Professor Chapela has been told to have his office cleaned out by December 31. Sign a petition to demand a review of Dr. Chapela's tenure denial.

Hmm. Interesting. He brought up a safey issue about GMO-laced corns, he is fired for that. Well, I signed a petition.
 
:(

In many cases, Monsanto really need to stop pushing the GMO in different countries and America.

Iraq law Requires Seed Licenses Iraqi law now makes saving seed from season to season illegal when using Monsanto engineered seed. Farmers now have to pay royalties on saved seed, which I assume is already illegal in most developed countries that allow or recognize genetically modified foods.

Yeah, I heard about it as well. It pissed me off to no end. Monsanto absolutely have no rights to do that. Why not our government do something about it? Oh wait, Monsanto paid them to do nothing. Never mind. Note: That's what I learned from several medical articles in some journals.
