Roundup Ready crop

Genetically modified crops—

Roundup is the brand name of a systemic, broad-spectrum herbicide produced by the U.S. company Monsanto and contains the active ingredient glyphosate. Glyphosate is the most used herbicide in the USA. 

Monsanto also produces seeds which grow into plants genetically engineered to be tolerant to glyphosate which are known as Roundup Ready crops. The genes contained in these seeds are patented. Such crops allow farmers to use glyphosate as a post-emergence herbicide against both broadleaf and cereal weeds. 

Keep reading this shit. Interested in eating any of that kind of soy, corn, sorghum, canola, alfalfa, cotton, or wheat? No, I didn’t think so.
