@Cooper Crumbwell,
Wow, Monsanto basically runs the world, all on revenues that are less than Sara Lee’s or Staples ! And why no more gluten? That means no more wheat, barley and rye. You know better than to mess with Levi’s Rye !

The anti-technology, anti-science movement is a fanatical group of people who believe things rather than think. Monsanto, Wal-Mart, and other successful corporations are now targets of these loons. I am gluten intolerant, but have been for 60 years. Monsanto has nothing to do with it. But why let facts get in the way of a good lie and story.

Gluten is NOT a poison, Cooper Crumbwell. Some people happen to be intolerant to it, but that does not make it a poison. It is naturally occurring and there is nothing wrong with that. In the “old days” people ate plenty of gluten, too.

I want to cite here Dr. Norman Borlaug. He mentioned that traditional breeding in itself is a method which brings about subtle changes in the genome of the introgression lines. Transgenic approaches are a cleaner way to do the same. Talking beyond the political and economical issues, transgenics could be harnessed beyond the reasonable doubt to serve millions and billions of the starving populations.

I do not see the problem here. Monsanto basically runs the world. It is time we got rid of that company and banned GMO crap for good. No more gluten. No more aspartame, no more high fructose corn syrup, no more sodium fluoride, no more sodium laurel sulfate. No more aluminum nitrate. No more crap to posion people with. Let’s ban it all and go back to the old way of doing things.
