Monsanto and soybeans, Monsanto and corn, and now Monsanto and alfalfa. But wait! Our government recently allowed Monsanto to plant GE (genetically engineered) sugar beets. A lawsuit finally halted the harvesting because the courts ruled that the USDA (US Dept. of Agriculture) allowed this unlawful planting without testing for environmental and health effects. The crops were ordered burned in order to prevent cross-contamination. Read about it
here, and add this site to your feed. Lots of good information. I think the bottom line is that you are responsible for the safety of your food. The government is not going to help you with this in the long run.
