No one was clamoring for genetically modified "high yield" wheat to be labeled as not real wheat when it was saving millions in Southeastern Asia a few decades ago. Frankly, it's an illustration of how well off most of America is that we can afford to take GMO tech with a grain of salt at all. Most places are just grateful for the food. Yep, but you can't blame the company too much. The people who harp on about liberalism and freedoms are the very same ones out there protesting Monsanto's attempts to make a profit on the free market.That a company like Monsanto made use of GMOs before the benefits of GMOs were made apparent to consumers, is really unfortunate.
