"In the wake of a 12-year battle to keep Monsanto's Genetically Engineered (GE) crops from contaminating the nation's 25,000 organic farms and ranches, America's organic consumers and producers are facing betrayal. A self-appointed cabal of the Organic Elite, spearheaded by Whole Foods Market, Organic Valley, and Stonyfield Farm, has decided it's time to surrender to Monsanto. Top executives from these companies have publicly admitted that they no longer oppose the mass commercialization of GE crops, such as Monsanto's controversial Roundup Ready alfalfa, and are prepared to sit down and cut a deal for "coexistence" with Monsanto and USDA biotech cheerleader Tom Vilsack." (via organic consumers)
Looks like Monsanto and a couple of other corporations in the business of creating GE plants managed to get a hold of the people in charge of the major organic market chains in the USA. Not that buying organic in the USA gave you GMO free food anyways, but at least up to now they tried to oppose the total invasion of GE crops. Now they just gave up. Happy engineering, Monsanto...
Sieht so aus als ob die großen Biosupermarktketten in den USA vor Monsanto niederknien. Nicht daß in Bio-Lebensmitteln in den USA nicht ohnehin schon massig patentierte Gene herumkrochen, aber bisher war die Strategie wohl zu versuchen das zu verhindern. Hat wohl nicht geklappt, also macht man sich jetzt mal gut Freund mit Monsanto und Co. Hmm - lecker Bio-Gen-Mais...
