Paraphrased from "Food Democracy Now"
The first generation of biotech crops has failed. Studies have shown that Monsanto’s genetically-engineered Bt insecticide corn has created a new breed of superbugs resistant to the plant’s genetically engineered insecticide, and has also been found in the blood of most woman and fetuses. At the same time, Monsanto’s Roundup Ready corn and soybeans and the herbicide Roundup have been linked to the rampant rise of superweeds, which have grown resistant to the herbicide and have infested millions of acres of farmland, threatening the livelihoods of farmers. Now, Dow Chemical is trying for approval of a new genetically engineered Agent Orange corn and soybeans that tolerates the extremely toxic chemical herbicide 2,4-D. 2,4-D exposure will lead to cancer.
