Food Bill Becomes Law

It would seem having friends in high places works very well in this country. I shudder to even imagine what the American food supply will be in less than five years.  A comment and thread in social media about GMO usually catches my attention, and this time, I felt the need to post a reminder that it was none other than Monsanto that brought us Agent Orange.

I was a bit shocked to be taken to task on my post.  Not that I'm a stranger to reprimands on social media, but in defense of Monsanto.  Seems I ruffled the feathers of someone who thinks speaking against genetic altering was "judged" to be judgmental and unforgiving.  I was told a company could change their ways.  I don't disagree, but this one hasn't.  As for judging.  That Scripture out of context has gotten a real work out lately.

Is it judgmental to say we shouldn't eat what our Creator has called unclean?  Is it judgmental to prefer no scorpion DNA in my cabbage?  Is it judgmental to state the obvious demise of the bee population in correlation to pesticides and manufactured pollen?   Then I guess, I have to admit being judgmental.  Perhaps, if organic farming and creationism had their own personal FDA appointee and their own personal Supreme Court Justice, I'd feel differently, but that's not the way it is.

I'm alright to be judged as I'm judging.  With labeling I could keep the GMOs out of my diet, so I don't have to worry about hypocrisy.
