(NaturalNews) Biotechnology giants like Monsanto continue to push their genetically-modified (GM) crop seeds on the nations of the world, in most cases bypassing the clear will of the
people in the process. But some people have decided that enough is
enough. For the second time in two years, a group of protestors has
destroyed GM grapevines at a French vineyard, uprooting all 70 of the
experimental plants before being arrested.

Besides causing damage to the intestines, immune system and organs, GMs require heavy
applications of pesticides to even grow at all. They typically only last
for one planting due to their altered genetic programming. And they
cross-pollinate with non-GM crops and cause "superweeds" to form.

But public opposition through legislation and loud voices has done little to curb the expanding implementation of GM crops around the world. Even the Obama Administration has done nothing but kowtow to biotechnology interests. So concerned citizens from various nations have decided to simply destroy the crops..

The vineyard isn't the only place that has experienced the wrath of an
upset public, either. Back in July, protestors ravished the fields of
two experimental corn crops in Spain. And back in the early 1990s, when the U.S. was first transitioning many of its staple crops to GM varieties, cotton farmers in India burned hordes of GM cotton in protest of the toxic crops.

According to reports, Monsanto recently tried to offer 475 tons of hybrid corn to Haitian earthquake
victims, but the nation rejected the offer as nothing more than a ploy
to further impose GM crops around the world.

All in all, GM crops are a failure. They threaten the world's food supply, they are toxic to the environment and to humans and they serve
no legitimate purpose in agriculture other than to give complete control
of food to a few multinational corporations.
