Whole Foods Market Caves to Monsanto

American consumers are going to have to come to the understanding that until We the People rise up and directly challange the corporations and their political and Wall Street backers we will ALWAYS have problems like this. Their greed knows no boundaries - over growing and not resting the soil has stripped it of valuable minerals and nutrients so much so until we need large amounts of fertilizer to cause plant growth; without it nothing would grow because basically the soil is dead - its sort of like keeping a comatose patient alive with machines; the minute you unplug the patient dies. My father told me years ago to learn how to grow your own food - I think I'm going to have to practice some of the things he showed me when I was a teen. These are not isolated situations. These problems have been created using the helping hands of paid politicians - our so-called representatives in DC - that have passed laws to facilitate the plunder of our way of life; the Occupy Wall Street Movement, 99% Movement and even the original Tea Party Movement started to challenge this kind of crap. Unfortunately the Tea Party got way laid and became defenders of the very people screwing them and us.

so basically whole foods stopped fighting monstanto because they were two thirds full of shit anyway.

This really saddens me, but I am glad that the farmers are being reimbused for their losses. I was disillusioned I guess thinking that everything at Whole Foods was organic, free of pesticides, etc. I had no idea that All Natural products were not the same as Organic. This article was an eye-opener in more than one way!

the consumer is always taken for a ride by big corporations. Best advise is....grow your own food. R.C.
