This report from James Corbett about the implications of genetically-modified crops, is so important it cannot be missed!
It includes the twisted tale of canola farmer, Percy Schmeiser who found that his fields had been infected with genetically-modified "Round Up-Ready" crops from adjacent fields. Amazingly, he was sued by Monsanto for copyright infringement!
After nearly being bankrupted by this legal, Schmeiser won an out-of-court settlement that included the clean-up of his contaminated field.
