All this genetic tinkering has consequences...some good yes but Monsanto and the like care only about yields, shipping tolerance and shelf life that increase their sales of seeds & pesticides.

The seed manufacturers and yes - the US Department of Agriculture - don't seem to care about nutritional priorities. For example most of the "new" corn only has about 40% of the protein of the original seed strains. It's cardboard. If Michelle Obama really cared about children's nutrition she would toss that useless campaign she's doing and get involved with the nutritional aspects of our food chain.

I would encourage you to join groups like Georgia Organics, Southern Foodways and the like. Alabama has an Alabama Organics site but it's just under construction. Georgia Organics is active and has occasional meetings in and around Bowdoin GA.

"Healthy Soil = Healthy Plants = Healthy People" is the usual logic for groups like these although you have to be careful of weird agendas.

This one at Rhodale ( Robert Rhodale was the father of the American Organic Movement) will get you going :-)
