I did a little research after getting a petition action alert on...
The *Roundup Ready* crops and why it is sooooo important to save your own heirloom seeds, or non-modified/hybrid seeds.
I also posted a link at the bottom for what they actually are and how they affect us.
"Monsanto has cleared almost every necessary hurdle toward getting its genetically engineered alfalfa (commonly sold as hay) on the market –– this is a potentially devastating development for farmers, livestock, and the environment.
The alfalfa in question is one of Monsanto’s "Roundup Ready" crops: That means that the crop has been genetically engineered to be resistant to one of Monsanto’s most popular herbicides, Roundup. In theory, that means farmers could grow this alfalfa, blanket their crops with chemicals, and kill weeds without killing the alfalfa, thus saving money.
Here's what happens in reality: Roundup kills the first batch of weeds, but the weeds adapt, growing into super weeds which in turn must be sprayed with – you guessed it – even more chemicals from Monsanto."

What is genectially modified food?
Okay, gotta go to make some muffins lol!! They are my favorite to make now. O-and we got us a new puppy...a black lab and pyrenese female we named Midnight:O) She is adorable and fittin' in nicely so far. Forgot to ask how old but I guess she's around 8-10 weeks.
Have a great day...freezin' rain for us...but I did paint a kitchen wall yesterday!
